that’s the c2r maintenance process. main job is to set up and update the local files for office.

and to install ‘mandatory’ giant bloated updates faster…

and to reboot faster after crashes (which may or may not have been caused by the above updates)…

when i set up a new pc i warn the users moving from really old ones that their coffee-fetching and bagel toasting time is about to shrink to zero.

it’s been a long time but i vaguely remember an office tray icon or desktop toolbar or something that could run all the time.

nowadays, windows caching and prefetch should be more than enough… and that’s not even considering the fast ssd we have now, either.

libreoffice. which has also had a similar feature for years.

that’s your lunch and dinner… on a 7 hour flight after a 4 hour delay at departure. take it and smile gratefully.
