Overview

Managed Workplace Device Manager is a software program developed by LPI Level Platforms. The most common release is 8.2.0, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. During setup, the program creates a startup registration point in Windows in order to automatically start when any user boots the PC. 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 162 files and is usually about 32.3 MB (33,864,192 bytes). The installed file lpi.autoupdate.dll 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 7 (SP1) and Windows 10. While about 97% of users of Managed Workplace Device Manager come from the United States, it is also popular in Canada and Belgium.
