Description:

The updatecfg.exe file is used to automatically update the components of the Microsoft Windows Debugging Tools. The updatecfg.exe file runs during start up to check for new updates on the server, available for the Microsoft Windows Debugging Tools. Once the updatecfg.exe file has detected new updates it will prompt the user to download these updates either immediately, or at a later stage.

Updates done by the updatecfg.exe file are essential because, if there are new errors that arise in a Windows operated environment, one of the Microsoft Windows Debugging Tools will be able to correct these errors. Prompts for updates appear so that, if the user is doing something on the computer, he can save it immediately to prevent loss of important data.

Usually the updates or new components that are being retrieved come from the manufacturers server or database, which in this case, is Microsoft Corporation. The function of the updatecfg.exe file is almost the same with other programs update files. The only difference is that they have different filenames and they retrieve updates from different databases or servers.

The application Modman basically, is used to close other mods when playing online. With the updatecfg.exe file, the players can add commands in the ModMan program to suit the players preference when playing online.
