• Application Launch Manager- The Application Launch Manager (ALM) version 1.0 enables you to start any application based on predefined events such as service startup, user log off or system shutdown in session zero. The application also allows you to configure multi-level logs which is essential for easy troubleshooting. • xData Cleanup Manager- xData Cleanup Manager (xDCM) version 1.0 keeps extraneous information from being stored on the local disk. xDCM can be used to automatically clean-up directories used for temporary caching of information. Clean-up is triggered on either service startup, user logoff, or system shutdown. It does the clean-up invisibly to the user and is completely configurable. • Power Management-A Monitor Saver turns off the video signal to the monitor, allowing the monitor to enter a power-saving mode after a designated idle time. To access the power settings, go to Start > Control Panel > Power Options. • Wake-on-LAN-This feature discovers all thin clients connected to your LAN, and enables you to wake them by clicking a button. For example, to perform image updates and remote administration functions on devices that have been shut down or are on standby. To use this feature, the thin client power must be turned on. Unified Write Filter Unified Write Filter (UWF) is a sector-based write filter that protects your storage media. UWF redirects the write attempts to a virtual overlay, and intercepts the write attempts to the protected volume. This improves the stability, reliability of the device thereby reducing the wear on write media, such as solid-state drives. In UWF, overlay is a virtual storage space that saves changes made on the protected volume. If the file system attempts to modify a protected sector, UWF will copy the sector from the protected volume to the overlay, and the overlay is updated. If an application tries to read from that sector, UWF returns the data from the overlay, so that the system appears to have written to the volume, while the volume remains unchanged.For more information, see the Unified Write Filter documentation at www.microsoft.com. CAUTION: Failure to keep the Write Filter turned on (except for regular maintenance or Application/Driver installs or upgrades) will prematurely wear out your Flash/SSD storage and invalidate your warranty. The following are the default file folders excluded from being filtered by UWF: • C:\Users\Admin\AppData\LocalLow • C:\Users\User\AppData\LocalLow • C:\Program Files\Windows Defender • C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Defender • C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log • C:\Windows\Temp\MpCmdRun.log • C:\windows\system32\spp • C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender • C:\program files\Wyse\WDA\Config • C:\Users\Public\Documents\Wyse • C:\Wyse\WCM\ConfigMgmt • C:\Wyse\WCM • C:\Wyse\WDA The following are the default registries excluded from being filtered by UWF: • HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\WNT\DWCADTool • HKLM\Software\Wyse\ConfigMgmt • HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Defender • HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\WNT\UWFSvc • HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\HomeGroup • HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList • HKLM\SYSTEM\WPA 28 Additional administrator utility and settings information

Write Filter (UWF) is a sector-based write
filter
that protects your storage media. UWF redirects the write attempts to a virtual
overlay, and intercepts the write attempts to the protected volume. This improves the stability, reliability of the device thereby reducing the
wear on write media, such as solid-state drives. In UWF, overlay is a virtual storage space that saves changes made on the protected
volume. If the
file

the overlay is updated. If an application tries to read from that sector, UWF returns the data from the overlay, so that the system appears
to have written to the volume, while the volume remains unchanged.For more information, see the
