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 installer includes 63 files and is usually about 16.17 MB (16,958,043 bytes). LogitechUpdate.exe is the automatic update component of the software designed to download and apply new updates should new versions be released.

While about 56% of users of Logitech SetPoint come from the United States, it is also popular in Germany and United Kingdom.
