Unified Write Filter
The Unified Write Filter (UWF) is applicable to Box PCs with a Windows 10 operating system.
The UWF intercepts disk changes and stores them into a memory overlay in RAM memory instead of
applying them to the original volume.
Additional Information
Refer to the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) for detailed information.
Application
UWF provides the following benefits:
• Write-protect one or more partitions on a system.
• Make it possible to revert changes and revert to the original disk content.
• Enable booting from read-only media.
By redirecting all write requests to RAM the run-time image maintains the appearance of a writable
run-time image.
• Improve the file system performance when using relatively slow storage.
• Minimize write actions to the disk.
For example, minimize write access to flash memory. Write cycles on flash memory are limited for
technical reasons.
Usage
UWF is included in the Windows 10 image and disabled by default. The configuration of this compo-
nent can be defined with the command line tool
uwfmgr.EXE
.
To run to UWF Manager, open the Command Prompt with Administrator rights.
