The hotfixinstaller.exe process is also known as a hotfix or QFE update (Quick Fix Engineering update). This is a cumulative package that contains information which address a software product problem. Commonly, hotfixes are created to be able to address a specific customer situation and therefore not spread out outside the customer organization. A hotfix package may contain a lot of encompassed bug fixes that can cause the danger of regressions. When this happens, automatic updates libraries like StableUpdate offer features to uninstall undesired applied fixes if needed. In the modern times, operating systems and several stand-alone programs are now able to automatically download and apply fixes. Furthermore there are many third-party software programs that can help in the installation of hotfixes to multiple machines at the same time. Software products like these can aid administrators, creating a list of already installed hotfixes. Hotfixes prove to be useful and efficient for the user, as well as convenient.
