What is the basic MoUSO workflow? Is it safe to delete musocoreworker.exe?

MoUSO’s core worker process, i.e. mousocoreworker.exe, is a Windows process that provides system protection against ever-growing system threats. This process runs in the background when you check or try to install a Windows update. It can turn on your device automatically if it scans for any issues while downloading or installing an update.

Is MoUSOCoreWorker.exe malware?

Windows primarily uses this process to manage update sessions. It also protects Windows from malware and viruses when an update is downloaded. This Windows process runs in the background and does not affect other applications and programs.

However, sometimes this process can result in high CPU and RAM usage due to some others. This mostly happens due to pending download or installation of Windows Updates, unknown errors in Windows Update services and malware. You can check how much memory this process is consuming by using the Task Manager.
