Overview
Windows Server 2012 Essentials SDK is a software program developed by Microsoft. The most common release is 6.2.9805.2, 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 setup package generally installs about 30 files and is usually about 1.74 MB (1,822,720 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 10 and Windows 7 (SP1). While about 70% of users of Windows Server 2012 Essentials SDK come from the United States, it is also popular in Switzerland and Portugal.
