Write Filters Management

The Write filters are Microsoft windows embedded features that can be activated when the image is created.

Write filters are used to "lock down" the Windows image and protect it from any corruption. When using write filters any change that is made on the device (change kbd language, change a registry key etc..) any data that is writing on the system (cookies, temp files etc...) is directly sent into a ram drive and flushed as soon as the device is turned OFF. This feature is aimed at protecting the windows image but it introduces new challenges when it comes to managing devices with write filters active. proVconnect natively manages write filters.

There are 3 types of write filters:

EWF (Enhanced Write Filter) on windows XP embedded series of OS
FBWF (File Based Write Filter) on windows 7 embedded series of OS
UWF (Unified Write Filter) on Windows 10 IoT

Managing Write Filters means that before executing any command on the end point it is necessary to deactivate the write filter and reactivate it after the command has been excuted
