Update Service Client Service
The Update Service client service is a windows service running in the background which checks periodically for updates.
How to Install?
The client service is automatically installed with packages with update strategy set to automatic: For example, when installing a package with the Install-UscPackage
PowerShell cmdlet and the update strategy (-UpdateStrategy
) set to Automatic:
Install-UscPackage -Id 'example-package' -UpdateStrategy Automatic
During the installation, Update Service will check if the client service is already there. If not, it will be included in the installation. By default, the update strategy is set to manual. The update strategy can also be controlled via installer.
Client Service User
By default, a new local administrator user called GoCurrentUser is created during the client service installation, he's created with a random password which is not stored.
You can use Set-UscClientServiceUser
to assign a different user to the service.
