Additional Information

The DevicePicker (DevicePickerUserSvc) service manages the Miracast, DLNA, and DIAL which are protocols that allow devices to communicate and share media over wireless or networking connections. The DevicePicker service enables the user to select a device from a list of available devices that support these protocols. For example, you can use the DevicePicker to cast your screen to a TV or a projector that supports Miracast.

The DevicePicker service is not essential and can be disabled if you do not use it.
