What is ui0detect.exe?

Part of Interactive services detection by Microsoft

What is it?

Services and system processes run in session 0. Interactive Services Detection (the blinking button on the taskbar) is a mitigation for legacy applications that detects if a service is trying to interact with the desktop. This is handled by the Interactive Services Detection (UI0Detect) service.

Description of ui0detect.exe from Microsoft

“On a 32-bit version of Windows, the OS will detect desktop interaction and start the UI0Detect service and you will see the flashing taskbar button. On a 64-bit version of Windows, if the service is a native 64-bit application, the OS will not start the UI0Detect service. Therefore, the service that is trying to interact with the desktop will appear to hang. If you need the mitigation for a 64-bit service, you will need to be sure the service is running in order to get the mitigation. If you have a 32-bit service on a 64-bit Windows, WOW64 will start the UI0Detect service and you will see the mitigation. The reason for this is that the WOW64 environment will behave as close to native 32-bit as possible – including mitigations. ”

(ui0detect.exe is a system file that is installed with Windows)
