Unified Write Filter (UWF) write protects files, folders or partitions to prevent corruption of data from sudden power loss and stops unauthorised modification of the system – once the user reboots the system, he or she is presented with a clean install.
Some benefits:
- Reduce wear on solid-state drives. You cannot use UWF to protect external removable drives, USB devices or flash drives.
- make read-only media appear to the OS as a writable volume
Limitations:
- fast startup needs to be disabled
