USO stands for Update Session Orchestrator

Update Orchestrator Service for Windows Update is a Win32 service. In Windows 10 it is starting only if the user, an application or another service starts it. When the Update Orchestrator Service for Windows Update is started, it is running as LocalSystem in a shared process of svchost.exe along with other services. If Update Orchestrator Service for Windows Update fails to start, the failure details are being recorded into Event Log. Then Windows 10 will start up and notify the user that the UsoSvc service has failed to start due to the error.

It seems pretty obvious to me, I expect everyone...
