It stands for Gigabyte Windows Utility Manager, a very old tool for  Easy Tune 4 only.

Yes I am surprised that you have it on your system in the first place.

When you had an old version  of the GIgabytetool @BIOS in your   Windowssystem and you uninstalled with ¨the add or  remove software function¨ of Windows, then  the old gigabyte utility Gwum stays in your computer  as you can see when you want to install the latest
version of the @bios software.
I used the trick to reinstall  (automatic update to) the old @BIOS version and after that tried to install  the latest advised @BIOS version from Gigabyte,  this new installationpackage  removed then the old @BIOS including the old  Gwum. You can update to a larger size  BIOS then.

The  Gigabyte website gives inadequate information here.

Thanks for that workaround. I am sure that there will be others who will find it useful. ;)
