Enables Unified Write Filter (UWF) to protect the volume after the next system restart, if UWF is enabled after the restart.
Syntax
UInt32 Protect();
Parameters
None.
Return Value
Returns an HRESULT value that indicates WMI status or a WMI error constant.
Remarks
UWF starts protecting the volume after the next device restart in which UWF is enabled.
