A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The software installer includes 40 files and is usually about 14.22 MB (14,907,456 bytes). UpctUpdate.exe is the automatic update component of the software designed to download and apply new updates should new versions be released.

While about 44% of users of ASUS Sync come from the United States, it is also popular in France and Taiwan.
