LoginCheck
`LoginCheck` is part of the Microsoft Store’s Windows Push To Install feature.
since 0.9.8.11
Purpose
Identifier: \Microsoft\Windows\PushToInstall\LoginCheck
Setup Foundry disables this scheduled task; the task remains registered, but its triggers no longer start it.
LoginCheck is part of the Microsoft Store’s Windows Push To Install feature. Its registered action starts the PushToInstall service with the login argument so that the service can process sign-in state relevant to remote installations. This infrastructure allows an installation initiated from Microsoft Store on another device or on the web to be associated with and delivered to this Windows device.
The task does not install an app itself. It activates the service infrastructure used for that purpose. Microsoft does not publish separate documentation for this individual task or its version-dependent triggers, so its exact configuration can vary between Windows releases.
Notes
Privacy and security
The task itself does not collect app-usage or diagnostic data. Starting the PushToInstall service can, however, cause Windows to communicate with Microsoft Store infrastructure so that the device or signed-in Microsoft account can participate in remote installation and receive installation requests.
Disabling the task prevents only the service start initiated by this task. Other tasks, applications, or Windows components can still start the service and thereby initiate the associated network communication.
Effects of the change
The task is not deleted. Its registered triggers no longer start the PushToInstall service in login mode. User sign-in therefore no longer invokes this particular mechanism for initializing or checking the remote-installation feature.
Requests to push an app or game to this PC from another device or from the Microsoft Store website may consequently be delayed or fail. Remote installation is not necessarily blocked completely: the service remains installed and can be started by other components or by the related Registration task.
Existing apps remain installed. This task does not control whether those apps can be launched or uninstalled locally. The change also does not remove or generally disable Microsoft Store; local Store installations and app updates are not controlled solely by LoginCheck. If the task is already disabled in the current Windows configuration, Setup Foundry produces no additional behavioral change.
Notes
Microsoft documents the Push To Install feature and its service but does not provide a dedicated functional reference for LoginCheck. More detailed claims about its internal checks or the precise data transmitted therefore cannot be established reliably.
