Can't seem to find out what "Microsoft Office SDX Helper" is, or what the executable (sdxhelper.exe) does.

It's located here:
c:\program files\microsoft office\root\vfs\programfilescommonx64\microsoft shared\office16\sdxhelper.exe

An SDX file is a file used by Kivuto Solutions's Secure Download Manager (SDM), a program used for downloading files from web stores such as DreamSpark and OnTheHub. It saves information required to download the purchased item, but does not contain the actual purchased item itself.

It appears to be connected to a Secure Download Manager that you use to download Office.

For example: http://www.thinkedu.com/PDF/MS_Office_Download_and_Installation_Guide_W7.pdf
