Logging on to Windows
There are two user accounts by default:
● Administrator or Admin—Allows you to make permanent system configurations, such as user account
management or app installations

NOTE: The name of the administrator account depends on the version of the HP thin client image.

● User—Cannot make permanent changes to the system and is for end-user operation
The User account logs on automatically when Windows starts, so you must switch to the Administrator or
Admin account manually using the default password Administrator or Admin respectively.

To switch back to the User account, use the default password User.

NOTE: User account passwords are case sensitive. HP recommends changing the passwords from their
default values. For more information about user accounts, including how to change a password, see Managing
user accounts on page 8.

Finding administrative apps in Control Panel


Most of the administrative apps referenced in this guide can be found in Control Panel when viewed as icons
(not as categories).
To open Control Panel:
▲ Right-click the Start button, and then select Control Panel from the menu.

TIP: On a touch screen, a right-click can be performed by touching and holding the desired location.

– or –
Press the Windows key + X, and then select Control Panel from the menu.

Local drives
There are two local drives by default:
● C: (flash drive)—This is the physical drive where the operating system and apps are installed. This drive
is protected by Unified Write Filter (see Unified Write Filter on page 3).

CAUTION: The system might become unstable if the free space on the flash drive drops below 10%.

● Z: (RAM drive)—This is a virtual drive created using RAM. This drive behaves like a physical drive, but it is
created at system startup and destroyed at system shutdown. You can configure the size of this drive
with HP RAMDisk Manager (see HP RAMDisk Manager on page 12).

2 Chapter 1 Getting started


2 Unified Write Filter

Unified Write Filter (UWF) is an operating system component that protects the contents of and decreases wear
on the flash drive of a thin client by redirecting and caching writes in an overlay, which is a virtual storage
space in RAM that tracks changes to a protected volume (the flash drive). The user experience in Windows is
unaffected because the operating system maintains the appearance of writing to the flash drive. When a
system restart occurs, the overlay cache is cleared, and any changes made since the last system startup are
lost permanently. If it is necessary to make permanent system configurations, an administrator can commit
(persist by writing through to the protected volume) changes stored in the overlay cache prior to a system
restart.

NOTE: The overlay cache is cleared only by a system restart, so users can log out or switch between user
accounts without losing the cached information.

UWF allows you to manage on a per-file basis, so you can immediately (without a system restart) commit files
individually or restore files to their previous state from the underlying volume by discarding the changes. You
can also exclude files from protection so that changes to them are always written directly to the flash drive.
However, you cannot commit the entire UWF overlay cache in a single command.

CAUTION: HP highly recommends the following:


● Ensure the write filter is used properly for standard thin client use cases. Proper usage includes making
sure the write filter is enabled during end-user (non-administrator) operation and is disabled only
temporarily by an administrator needing to make changes to the system. The write filter should be re-
enabled as soon as the changes are completed.
● Never enable the Windows Page File feature unless the system is configured with a flash drive that has
an endurance sufficient for the high volume of writes this feature produces. The use of the Windows
Page File feature with lower-endurance flash drives will result in premature wearing of the flash drive,
decreased performance, and a decrease in the lifespan of the thin client.
● Use virtualized security software instead of standard PC security software, which can cause excessive
wear of the flash drive.
● For use cases that require frequent writes, such as active system logging, call center phone and video
recording, and industrial logging, you should configure the thin client to write to a server. If local writes
are necessary, they should be done in the overlay cache. Please contact HP for help determining an
appropriate interval schedule for committing the overlay cache, or preferably log the data from the
overlay cache to a server.
If your use case requires non-standard write filter usage, please contact HP to ensure that your thin clients
are configured properly.

UWF management overview
There are three tools you can use to manage UWF: a notification icon, a Control Panel app, and a command-
line tool. Some commands can be performed using any of the tools, but other commands might be exclusive
to one or two of the tools.

Notification icon
The UWF notification icon is located in the Windows notification area. The following commands can be
executed by right-clicking the notification icon and selecting the desired option:
● Enable—Enables UWF (requires a system restart)
● Disable—Disables UWF (requires a system restart)
● Clear Command—Clears the previously-set boot command (such as Enable or Disable)
The following table describes the possible states of the UWF notification icon.

Icon Description

Clearing the boot command


To clear the boot command:
▲ Right-click the notification icon and select Clear Command.

Registry filtering
CAUTION: The UWF component by Microsoft provides registry-filtering functionality, which includes the
ability to add registry keys to a registry exclusion list and to commit individual registry keys. However,
documentation about the registry filter is limited, and due to the complexity of Windows, dependencies are
not always clear. Although the HP Unified Write Filter Configuration app provides easy access to the registry
exclusion list, HP does NOT support or recommend using the registry filtering capabilities of UWF. Usage of
this functionality is at your own risk.

Clearing the boot command 7


3 Configuration

Managing user accounts


The User Accounts app allows you to manage most aspects of the default user accounts, as well as create
additional user accounts.

IMPORTANT: Due to space constraints on the flash drive, keep the number of user accounts to a minimum.

To open the User Accounts app:


▲ In Control Panel, select User Accounts.

Changing a password
To change the password for a user account:
▲ Select Start, select Settings, select Accounts, select Sign-in options, select the Change button under
the Password heading, and then follow the on-screen instructions.

NOTE: Passwords can be changed by administrators only. A user cannot change their own password.

Creating additional user accounts


Use the User Accounts app to create additional user accounts. A newly-created account is a member of the
local Users group automatically, but to match the default User account, you must add the new account to the
Power Users group. Otherwise, the new user will not be able to add a local printer.

NOTE: For information about configuring a specific user account to log on automatically at system startup,
see HP Logon Manager on page 12.

A new user account has a user profile based on a default template. A user profile contains configuration
information for a user account, such as desktop settings, network connections, and app settings. A user
profile can either be local (specific to a thin client) or roaming (server-based and accessible from multiple
different thin clients).

NOTE: Local copies of roaming profiles should be written to the flash drive (C:), which must have sufficient
free space for them to work. Roaming profiles are not retained when the system restarts.

Disabling wireless functionality


If you need to disable wireless functionality on the system, follow these steps:
1. Select the Action Center icon in the notification area, select All settings, select Network & Internet, and
then select Change adapter options under the Wi-Fi heading.
– or –
In Control Panel, select Network and Sharing Center, and then select Change adapter settings.
2. In the list of network connections, right-click (or touch and hold) the item associated with the wireless
adapter, and then select Disable.

8 Chapter 3 Configuration
Configuring the system date and time settings
The Windows Time service is set to Manual (Trigger Start). By default, this service attempts to synchronize
with the Microsoft time server (time.windows.com) every seven days. If the thin client is joined to a domain,
this service tries to sync its time with an available DC or an NTP server, if one is available.
The Date and Time app in Control Panel allows you to set the system date and time manually. To open this
app:
▲ In Control Panel, select Date and Time.

TIP: You can access this app also using the clock in the Windows notification area.

Installing apps
To install an app:
1. Disable UWF (requires a system restart).
2. Perform the installation.

NOTE: If the installation process requires a system restart, you should perform that restart before
proceeding to the next step.

3. Enable UWF (requires a system restart).


When installing apps, it might be necessary to temporarily change some environmental variables to point to
the flash drive (C:) instead of the RAM drive (Z:). The RAM drive might be too small for the temporary files
cached during the installation of some apps.
To change the environmental variables:
1. Right-click (or touch and hold) the Start button, and then select System from the menu.
– or –
Press the Windows key + X, and then select System from the menu.
2. Select Advanced system settings, and then select Environmental Variables.
3. Change the value of the TEMP and TMP variables to C:\Temp.

NOTE: Create this folder ahead of time if necessary.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to change the environmental variables back to their original values afterwards.

Configuring apps to cache on the RAM drive


You should configure apps that cache temporary files to cache on the RAM drive (Z:) to reduce the amount of
write operations to the flash drive (C:). By default, the following items are cached on the RAM drive:
● Temporary user, system, and print spooling files
● Temporary Internet files (copies of websites and media saved for faster viewing)
● Website cookies, caches, and databases (stored by websites to save preferences or improve website
performance)
● Browsing history
