What is fcbd.bat?

fcbd.bat is a batch file associated with Ubisoft's gaming clients, Uplay and its successor, Ubisoft Connect. This software is a digital distribution, digital rights management, multiplayer, and communications service used to purchase, download, and play video games published by Ubisoft. The "fcbd" in the filename is often linked to the game Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, and the file is typically created during that game's installation.

The file is a startup script, often located in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup, which means it runs automatically when Windows starts. Its primary purpose appears to be related to setting file paths or configurations necessary for the game, possibly to ensure the game runs correctly or that its connection to the Ubisoft Connect client is properly established.

This file is not essential for the Windows operating system to function. A user might consider removing it if they no longer play the associated game or have uninstalled Ubisoft Connect, as the script would no longer be necessary and would just be an unneeded startup item. Some users prefer to disable or remove such files to speed up their computer's boot time and reduce the number of processes running in the background. However, if you still play Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon or other Ubisoft titles, removing this file could potentially cause issues with launching or running the game.

To get more detailed information about the file and its activities, you can use a tool like Security Task Manager, which can help verify the file's path and provide a deeper analysis of its function on your system.
