Nokia Software Updater 3
What is Nokia Software Updater 3?
Nokia Software Updater is the software update program that runs with Windows in the background and checks for updates, and automatically downloads and installs them if found based on the user's settings. The program can be configured by the user for maintaining a schedule for when to check the remote server for periodic software updates.
Overview
The most used version is 3.0.223, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. Upon installation and setup, it defines an auto-start registry entry which makes this program run on each Windows boot for all user logins. 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 86 files and is usually about 43.24 MB (45,335,580 bytes). DeviceUpdaterProcess.exe is the automatic update component of the software designed to download and apply new updates should new versions be released.
