Overview
Intel Smart Connect Technology 4.0 x64 is a software program developed by Intel. The most common release is 4.0.41.2072, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. During setup, the program registers itself to launch on boot through a Windows Schedule Task in order to automatically start-up. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The setup package generally installs about 24 files and is usually about 14.79 MB (15,507,456 bytes). The installed file isctoutlookupdater.exe is the auto-update component of the program which is designed to check for software updates and notify and apply them when new versions are discovered. 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 60% of users of Intel Smart Connect Technology x64 come from the United States, it is also popular in Canada and Italy.
