    SedLauncher.exe does NOT improve Windows Update, does NOT speed up your computer and does NOT serve a legit purpose. Just like CompatTelRunner.exe and RunTimeBroker.exe, SedLauncher.exe is just yet another SPYWARE which scans your computer, to subsequently use the results in the Windows Store suggestions. All the BS about speeding up your computer and such is merely some lies to cover it all up.

    Such routins often start when i really least of all want it. Very disturbing, slowing down my tourny-bullet chess (one game in one minute) and can cause me losing the game and miss the first price..

    Doesnt Microsoft understand that the users want do decide themselves when such (probably needless) routines shall NOT run

    Im happy learning Ubuntu and will  try to completely leave this struggle-world called Windows. Then programmers will listen.

    (Im myself an ex programmer, assembler specialist 1984 - 1988)
