What is mcupdate.exe?

Windows Media Center Store Update Manager is the software updater program which runs in the background of Windows and automatically starts up when your PC boots. It checks for software udpates and automatically downloads and installs them if found. The updater will check for updates remotely and install them based on an internal schedule.

Overview

mcupdate.exe executes as a process with minimal NETWORK SERVICE privileges typically within the context of its parent services.exe (Services and Controller app by Microsoft). The assembly utilizes the .NET run-time framework (which is required to be installed on the PC). This version is designed to run on Windows 7 and is compiled as a 32 bit program.
