Windows 10 IoT Enterprise for Wyse 5060 Thin Client Maintenance Release 1 Release Notes

PDF

Unified Write Filter

To enable or disable the Write Filter, see Microsoft Windows 10 IoT Enterprise Administrators Guide at Dell support site.

  • CAUTION: Please follow proper write filter and Windows Page File usage instructions at all times. Such instructions include making sure that the write filter is enabled during regular use and is disabled only temporarily by an administrator when required for image upgrades, applying security patches, registry changes and application installation. The write filter should be re-enabled as soon as such tasks are completed. Such instructions further include never enabling the Windows Page File feature during regular use of the thin client. Any operation of a Dell Wyse Windows Embedded Thin Client with the write filter turned off during regular use and/or with the Windows Page file enabled will prematurely wear out your Flash/SSD storage, decrease performance and decrease the lifespan of the product. Dell is not responsible for, and will not, warrant, support, repair or replace any thin client device or component that fails to operate properly due to a failure to follow these instructions.
  • When you disable the Write Filter from the system tray, a caution message is displayed.
