Dell Wyse Windows 10 IoT Enterprise for Latitude 5280 Mobile Thin Client Administrator’s Guide

There are several command lines you can use to control the Unified Write Filter. Command–line arguments cannot be combined.

Use the following guidelines for the command–line option for the Unified Write Filter. You can also use the commands if you open Command Prompt window with elevated privilege by entering command in the Run box:

• uwfmgr

  With no command-line options— Displays the command help.

• uwfmgr filter enable

  Enables the Unified Write Filter after the next system restart. The Unified Write Filter status icon is green when the Unified Write Filter is enabled.

• uwfmgr filter disable

  Disables the Unified Write Filter after the next system restart. The Unified Write Filter status icon remains red while disabled.

• uwfmgr file commit C: <file_path>

  Commits changes to a specified file to overlay for a Unified Write Filter-protected volume. Administrator-level permissions are required to use this command.

  The <file> parameter must be fully qualified, including the volume and path. UWFMGR.EXE uses the volume specified in the <file> parameter to determine which volume contains the file exclusion list for the file. There is a single space between volume name and file_path. For example, to commit a file C:\Program Files\temp.txt the command would be uwfmgr commit C: \Program Files\temp.txt.

• uwfmgr file add-exclusion C: <file_or_dir_path>

  Adds the specified file to the file exclusion list of the volume protected by Unified Write Filter. Unified Write Filter starts excluding the file from filtering after the next system restart.

  For example, to add a registry dir HKLM\SYSTEM\WPA, the command is UWFmgr.exe registry add-exclusion HKLM\SYSTEM\WPA .

• uwfmgr file remove-exclusion C: <file_or_dir_path>

  Removes the specified file from the file exclusion list of the volume protected by Unified Write Filter. Unified Write Filter stops excluding the file from filtering after the next system restart.

• uwfmgr overlay get-config

  Displays configuration settings for the Unified Write Filter overlay. Displays information for both the current and the next session.

• uwfmgr registry /?

  Displays configuration settings for exclusions of registry keys.
