I followed the instructions for this fix and it still wouldn't start.
Dell TechHub service won't start and displays the error "Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion."

I'm Sumit, here to answer your query at the Microsoft Community.
Apologies for any inconvenience you are experiencing. I am happy to help you today.
It appears to be something related to Tech Hub or SupportAssist. Is Dell Support Assist working properly?
If you do not use Tech Hub, set the service as manual:
To set Dell Tech Hub service as manual:
Press Windows key + R and type "services.msc"
Scroll down to find Dell Tech Hub service
Right-click on Dell Tech Hub service and select Properties.
Change "Startup type" to Manual.
Click Apply and OK.
Hope that helps, and rely on us for any further inquiries. All the best.
