DoNotCleanUpNonPresentDevices (Standard 8 Module Reference)
7/8/2014
Review the applicable Embedded Core modules and any examples for the DoNotClearUpNonPresentDevices setting in Windows Embedded 8 Standard (Standard 8).
This setting specifies whether to remove Plug and Play information for devices that are not detected on the destination device during the Specialize configuration pass. Though this setting is specified in the Generalize configuration pass, it controls the behavior for the next Specialize configuration pass.
Set this value to true to leave undetected Plug and Play devices on the device; otherwise, set to false.
Warning
Setting this value to true can lead to the unnecessary storage of device information and contribute to slower boot times. See Maintain Driver Configurations When Capturing a Windows Image on TechNet for more information.
