What exactly does WSRefreshBannedAppsListTask do in task scheduler?

What exactly does WSRefreshBannedAppsListTask do in task scheduler? It's under WS which I assume is Windows Store that I don't use. I don't even have a MS account.

Windows event logger logs an error every time it runs: Couldn't sync machine licenses.

 

So I assume it should be safe to disable right? I really want to know exactly what it does and I haven't found any information about it. :P

It's a task to sync app licenses from what I understand.

I don't see that service running on my pc by the way, I only see wsservice.

It's safe if you don't use the store, I've had it disabled from day one because I don't use a Microsoft either, and the error drove me crazy, it wasn't hurting anything but it bothered me until I finially disabled it. Same with the Skydrive stuff.
