WPS Office
Overview
WPS Office is a software program developed by Kingsoft. The most common release is 10.2.0.6020, 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. 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 primary executable is named ksolaunch.exe. The setup package generally installs about 42 files and is usually about 677.03 KB (693,282 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of those who have this installed, most are running it on Windows 10. While about 83% of users of WPS Office come from the United States, it is also popular in Italy and Austria.
