Hello

I have Win 10 with an app that creates a service in windows, these computers I have enabled the freeze by unified write filter (UWF).

I have detected that the app client stops working, and does not recover, although I put rules to the service to try and I have put a task that forces me the service every 3 hours.

I have also excluded the client directory from the freeze, but it still does not work correctly. I put the freezing script to see if I missed something.

The bold line is the app and its service that freezes.

uwfmgr.exe overlay set-type Disk

uwfmgr.exe overlay set-size 70000

uwfmgr.exe overlay set-criticalthreshold 65000

uwfmgr.exe overlay set-warningthreshold 60000

uwfmgr.exe filter enable

uwfmgr.exe volume protect C:

uwfmgr.exe file add-exclusion "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones"

uwfmgr.exe file add-exclusion "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentCurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation"

uwfmgr.exe file add-exclusion "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google"

uwfmgr.exe file add-exclusion "C:\Program Files"\Google"

uwfmgr.exe file add-exclusion "C:\Program Files (x86)\OGAgent"

uwfmgr.exe file add-exclusion "C:\ECC"

shutdown /r /t 0
