What are usoclient.exe and usocorworker.exe

Usoclient.exe and usocorreworker.exe located in the C: \ Windows \ System32 folder and the processes corresponding to them in the task manager are system components of Windows 10 and refer to UPDATE Session Orchestrator - system service working with updates: their search, download and installation.
