From ChatGPT:-
Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024 includes UWF (Unified Write Filter) as part of its feature set.
UWF is a specialized tool for embedded and IoT devices that helps protect the storage (e.g., disk or partitions) by redirecting write operations to a temporary overlay, leaving the underlying storage unchanged. When the system reboots, the changes made during the session are discarded unless explicitly committed.
Key Features of UWF:
Write Protection: Prevents unauthorized changes to the disk.
Improved Device Stability: Ensures that the system always boots to a known-good state.
Overlay Support: Temporarily stores changes in memory or a dedicated disk overlay.
Exclusions: Allows specific files, folders, or registry keys to be written directly, bypassing protection.
UWF is especially useful for kiosk systems, digital signage, or other environments where you need a locked-down configuration.
