type
The type of overlay. Set to 0 for a RAM-based overlay; set to 1 for a disk-based overlay.

Return Value

Returns an HRESULT value that indicates WMI status or a WMI error.

Remarks

Changes to the overlay type take effect during the next device restart in which UWF is enabled.

Before you can change the overlay type to disk-based, your device must meet the following requirements.

  • UWF must be disabled in the current session.
  • The system volume on your device must have available free space greater than the maximum size of the overlay.
  • The maximum size of the overlay must be at least 1024 MB.
