UNP stands for "Universal Notification Platform". It is part of Windows 10. You probably don't want to remove it without understanding the ramifications of doing so. I spent a few minutes searching Google and was unable to come to a consensus on what, if anything, removing UNP would break.

I am not happy knowing where it came from. I also need to know what is it for and why is it being attached to Win10.

Thanks for the information Roger, and I agree with everything you said.
As to your original question to me: No, UNPCampaignManager.exe was not causing me any problems. Simply being a program that I was not accustomed to seeing previously in Task Manager is what led me to try to do some research to make sure it was kosher.
Unless I get any additional, concerning, information, I plan on leaving it alone.
Be well.

I don't trust it if it doesn't intuitively pair with Microsoft or the base hardware/software. And if it is not possible to obtain an understanding of its purpose by searching online, that is instantly suspicious.

Just got a McAfee warning that the program wanted internet access. Based on the info here and elsewhere online I blocked the request this time. Until I find a need to allow internet access I will continue to block. Thanks for all the previous comments!

Microsoft claims that UNP Campaign Manager enhances the commuter experience and App AZURE. Since I have a GPS I don't need my PC giving my location nor do I commute nor do I have my PC running when driving. I question Microsoft's explanation same as I don't appreciate their removing my discretion for which upgrades to Windows 10 they now automatically download.

I don't like change, and starting eyeing up that UNP older today. Per usual, I couldn't resist deleting something. I deleted it. Then, I restarted my computer, and got a blue screen with a frowny face that said there was a problem. It then said it was "collecting information". Once it said the collection process was 100% complete, the computer just sat there on the blue screen...doing nothing. I hit the power button and turned the computer off. Then, I restarted it. No problem with the restart after the blue screen...booted right up. I have since restarted the computer 4 times with no problems....and the UNP folder is gone.
There was half a gig worth of error dump files that showed up in Disk Cleanup right after all of this (they weren't there right before the blue screen)...and I cleaned those up, too.
Everything seems to be well.
What I hate most about this Creators update are all of the Google Chrome entries in the registry. They have something to do with Windows Security. I hate having google in my registry...but these can't be deleted. Microsoft must be in cahoots with Google now. Pisses me off.

From what i get, it does come from Microsoft itself. But what bothers me is when you open an xml doc under C:\Program Files\UNP\CampaignManager\Campaigns\{91be532c-f9f1-406a-9858-43697c6f437a}\Detector.xml (<the last part might be different) you can clearly see that they are sucking up telemetry from you computer. Next in comments you can see that at 1400 they send bitmap quote "Set this to 1440 so that we only send bitmap once per day (data team request), if not included it defaults to 0". Now i don't know about you guys but i for sure would like to know what they are sending to us and what telemetry they are collecting from my computer.

The Universal Notification Platform or UNP usually applies to computers on a domain, a good example is a work computer. There are several ways to hide or remove this notification from appearing on your desktop. However, since the steps will guide you to make changes with your registry files, we suggest that you create a back up of your registry.

UNP INFO FROM MS, it is apparently part of their auto update UI for win 10 (can be changed to manual - if you know what you are doing) see -
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4016551/upgrade-and-privacy-experience-upx-is-displayed-in-the-ui-on-managed-w
Although the link refers to UPX it seems that UPX is the UI to UPN; YOU NEED TO INVOKE THE LINK TO CLARIFY THIS COMMENT
Unfortunately JAMES is right but even if you delete UNPCampaignManager.exe I suspect that MS will find a way of replacing it and you will still get auto updates anyway, The whole industry is tuned to force us to do what they want to do and not to what we (the customers that pay their wage) want. Perhaps we should start a new kind of DIGITAL REVOLUTION and demand what WE want!
