TOSHIBA Product Improvement Program
Overview
TOSHIBA Product Improvement Program is a software program developed by Toshiba. The most common release is 1.00.01.6401, 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 23 files and is usually about 13.17 MB (13,805,467 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of those who have this installed, most are running it on Windows 10. While about 47% of users of TOSHIBA Product Improvement Program come from Australia, it is also popular in the United States and New Zealand.
