Microsoft - wininit.exe |
Winit.exe (Windows Initialize) was made by Microsoft and is a core system process that originated in Windows XP since it has been passed down to both Windows 7 and Vista. The file was created to allow uninstallers to run and process commands stored in the file WinInit.ini. This allows programs to take action while the computer is still booting up. In Windows 7 and Vista, it primarily acts as a launcher for the majority of the background applications that are always running.
