TrustedImageIdentifier (Standard 8 Module Reference)

7/8/2014

Review the applicable Feature modules and any examples for the TrustedImageIdentifier setting in Windows Embedded 8 Standard (Standard 8).

This setting contains a unique string that specifies a Windows Embedded 8 Standard (Standard 8) image for which files have already been scanned. When Windows Defender performs a quick scan or a full scan, the rest of the files on the system are marked as permitted to run and do not require additional scan. Thus, setting a TrustedImageIdentifier can increase system speed.

Enter a unique identifier, such as a GUID, for this setting to bypass the default Windows Defender action.
