Overview

FileOpen Client x64 B928 is a software program developed by FileOpen Systems. During setup, the program creates a startup registration point in Windows in order to automatically start when any user boots the PC.

Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The primary executable is named FileOpenNew.exe. The setup package generally installs about 7 files and is usually about 2.58 MB (2,707,456 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows 10.
