4.About Unified Write Filter
Unified Write Filter function (referred to as “UWF” in this document) is the new filtering which
combined EWF, FBWF, and Registry filter.
UWF has deterred the write to DISK by redirecting the write to DISK from operating system or
application to overlay.
If you are updating software, adding data, or changing the settings, make sure to disable the
UWF filter settings before doing so.
Even if shut down, the contents written to the memory will not be written back to the disk.
They will be deleted if you shut down or restart the system.
UWF of preinstalled model is not suitable for all configurations.
In particular, it is unsuitable for "the configuration which a lot of write requests generate from
operating system or application to protected DISK." Under such an environment, restarting Windows
is frequently needed.
The following describes a limitation for the specification of the UWF function in Windows 10 IoT
Enterprise LTSB 2016. Understand it completely for implementation.
CAUTION
Removable media (USB memory etc.) cannot be set as the UWF candidate.
Folders or files that are excluded from protection cannot be moved into the protection area.
If a "Recycle Bin" is an object for protection, it becomes as a deleting error since Explorer once
moves the file to "Recycle Bin". In this case, delete the object without going through "Recycle
Bin" by using Shift+Del keys on the keyboard.
The function of File Exclusion and Registry Exclusion are available only in a FAT/NTFS volume.
Volumes, such as exFAT, can be protected by UWF. However, the function of protect exclusion
cannot be used.
UWF supports NTFS. However, since the journal file of NTFS is recorded until a services of UWF
begins, writing to DISK occurs upon starting up.
UWF cannot protect a Hidden partition.
If UWF is set to Enabled and starts up, some functions in Windows are changed for the
performance improvement of UWF.
Check the technical information for details from the link listed below.
Please refer to the Microsoft technical information for details about UWF.

In early stages, a UWF overlay region serves as maximum size of 1024 MB.
The present operating condition of a UWF overlay region can be checked by the following
command.
>uwfmgr.exe overlay get-consumption
Systems operation is required so that a UWF overlay region may not be used to maximum size.
As the application software used by a user or Windows operation can be affected, it is
necessary to restart Windows in accordance with a system application, and to release a UWF
overlay region.
The following measures are sufficiently effective though there are no complete measures.
Avoid writing in the protected volume as much as possible.
When writing in a log file, change to other volume that are excluded from protection write.
(Drives: USB memory and network storage, etc.)

5.Security Warning
When connecting to the network, be aware of security-related problems. See the examples of
Security measures below and set up the product properly along with the network devices.
1. Information security risks
Unauthorized access from the outside through a network could cause the system halt, data
damage, or exposure to malware. *1
Invaded and used as a stepping stone, a device might attack the others through networks. (a
victim becomes an assailant)
Information might leak without realizing due to the connection to the network.
Secondary damages such as harmful rumors, liability in damages, social credibility fall, and
opportunity loss are expected led by the troubles described above.
*1: Malware (Malicious Software) is software that brings harm to a computer system and performs
unintended operations.
2. Security measures – e.g.
Do not keep using the default password. (Refer to the product manual for the password
setting).
Set a strong password.
Combined with upper and lowercase letters, and numbers so that it cannot be easily
analogized by others.
Change the password periodically.
Disable unnecessary network services and functions.
Restrict access to the network with network devices. *2
Restrict ports to be released on the network with network devices. *2
Create a closed network connection using such as dedicated network or VPN*3
*2: Inquire for setting procedure to manufacturers.
*3: VPN (Virtual Private Network) a secured network that wards off unauthorized access by
protecting the communication path with authentication and encryption.
Unfortunately, there are no perfect ways to avert unauthorized access or close a security hole
that are endlessly found day and night.
Please understand that risks are always involved with the Internet connection, and we strongly
recommend a user should constantly update information security measures.
