VolumeOSD

Overview

VolumeOSD is a software program developed by Lenovo. The most common release is 1.0.0.626, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. 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 primary executable is named VolumeCtlSrv.exe. The setup package generally installs about 4 files. Relative to the overall usage of those who have this installed, most are running it on Windows 10. While about 33% of users of VolumeOSD come from the United States, it is also popular in Germany and United Kingdom.
