Fallout 4
by Bethesda Game Studios
Overview
Fallout 4 is a software program developed by Bethesda Game Studios. During setup, the program creates a startup registration point in Windows in order to automatically start when any user boots the PC. 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 primary executable is named Fallout4Launcher_Original.exe. The setup package generally installs about 207 files and is usually about 25.27 MB (26,497,334 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 10 and Windows 7 (SP1). While about 68% of users of Fallout 4 come from the United States, it is also popular in United Kingdom and Germany.
