If you can give me an exact process, I will try it. I have already replaced the odyssey file in Windows with a dummy, so I thought I'd essentially disabled it already. It has had no effect on the CPU problem on my control machine.

Let me know what I should do differently and I will try it. I'm just an unpaid Dell beta tester like everyone else here.
