Windows 10: Unified Write Filter UWF and BGinfo - Running both in Windows 10

Hello, I have a machine with Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB operating system. I am using BGinfo application to add some information into Windows Desktop Background BootTime, HostName, UserName, Domain, etc. The Unified Write Filter UWF is set to protect the C: drive where Windows operating system is installed some folder/file exclusions have been set for UWF. There is only one user account "Administrator" user.


When UWF is disabled, BGinfo works fine and updates Windows Desktop Background.


When UWF is enabled, BGinfo is not updating Windows Desktop Background. There seems to be some incompatibility.


Can anyone please help? Thanks.

Regarding UWF (Unified Write Filter)

I have some HP thin-client where Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB custom image is installed. These clients having 4 GB RAM is installed and 2.9 GB is usable because of video memory.

As we know in the write filter environment all writes are in overlay and system must reboot to clear the overlay memory otherwise system will get crashed after overlay exhausted.

In this OS we have only one drive C which is protected by UWF and additional drive Z which is RamDisk for temporary writes and maximum of 768 MB, so its not possible to create page file in protected volume because while enabling UWF page file don't exist
any more and the other drives are Z very less in memory.

Now using some tool while booting OS, i have moved 8GB of partition from c drive and created additional drive D which is not protected then configured page file range 4.5 GB to 7GB in this drive after enabling the UWF still page file present and working.

Now i have know UWF overlay size and how to calculate the system UP time which is depend upon the size of the overlay size.

Is it good to set 600 MB or 1000 MB for overlay size and what are the UP times, now system is not complete running as i can see in it used overlay memory in 2 days around 100 mb ?

Thanks in advance.

 

Unified write filter servicing screensaver not showing up

Joy,

Thank you for your reply. sfc /scannow did not find any violations. The power troubleshooter however has NOTHING to do with UWF not executing the correct activity. It's master servicing script goes through all of the steps it's supposed to, but the servicing
mode itself does not act like it should. That is the problem. I require uwf servicing mode to execute and complete its login process, as well as show the screensaver. Currently it does neither.

I will appreciate further assistance.

Were you able to find a solution?
