    uwfmgr.exe Unified Write Filter returns blank results on Windows 11 Pro


    I often install and remove software on my Laptop thus making my windows PC a bit slower over time until I do a clean Windows install, therefore I'm trying to "freeze" my system, I found Faronics DeepFreeze to be a useful solution except that it "freezes" the entire only partition C:\ I have, I kept looking until I found Unified Write Filter which seems to be more useful since it can exclude some folders and/or Registry Keys.I enabled UWF feature on Windows 11 features then I followed instructions to turn on UWF running Command Line CMD as administrator;C:\Windows\System32>uwfmgr.exe fil

    Unified Write Filter is not doing anything

    Hi all,

    I have a simple PC with a single SSD drive as volume C:.

    The C: is protected and I have no exclusions for now.

    I am using mostly defaults. The overlay is RAM at 1024MB.

    For some reason, the write filter is not doing anything.

    I think the main clue is that the command "uwfmgr overlay get-availablespace" always returns 0MB.

    Likewise, "uwfmgr overlay get-consumption" always returns 0MB even if I've written new files to C:

    I have ensured that fast-boot is disabled.
