4.6.9 Lockdown features
The lockdown functions in Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro make it possible to individually configure the
device while making the system more secure at the same time. They include:
•
Unified Write Filter (UWF)
These features make it possible to configure a data storage device (e.g. CFast) for read-only access or
to allow only certain registry keys to be accessed, for example. As a result, the system always starts with
the same configuration after rebooting.
•
Dialog filter
This feature can be used to suppress pop-up windows and dialog boxes. Such dialog boxes can occur, for
example, if virus scanners are updated, network connections fail or the Windows Security Center shows
warnings. These windows can simply be hidden.
•
Keyboard Filter
The keyboard filter allows individual keys or certain keyboard shortcuts to be locked to prevent users from
accessing certain functions (e.g. Task Manager).

In accordance with Microsoft requirements, Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro requires XGA resolution (1024
x 768) or higher in order to fully operate the Windows user interface (including system dialog boxes, apps, etc.).
A lower resolution can be selected for applications.
