For example, if there's a business justification that prevents the company from applying the recommendation, the existence of a compensating or alternative control that provides as much protection than the recommendation would, a false positive, among other reasons. + +Exceptions can be created for both *Security update* and *Configuration change* recommendations. + +When an exception is created for a recommendation, the recommendation is no longer active. The recommendation state changes to **Exception**, and it no longer shows up in the security recommendations list. + + +1.

  • **Cortana.** Enabled by default in Microsoft Edge, Cortana lets you highlight words for more info and gives you one-click access to things like restaurant reservations and reviews, without leaving the webpage.
  • **Compatibility and security.** Microsoft Edge lets you continue to use IE11 for sites that are on your corporate intranet or that are included on your Enterprise Mode Site List. You must use IE11 to run older, less secure technology, such as ActiveX controls.
|IE11 offers enterprises additional security, manageability, performance, backward compatibility, and modern standards support.
  • **Backward compatibility.** IE11 supports 9 document modes that include high-fidelity emulations for older versions of IE.
  • **Modern web standards.** IE11 supports modern web technologies like HTML5, CSS3, and WebGL, which help to ensure today's modern websites and apps work just as well as your old, legacy websites and apps. **IE11 does not support some modern CSS properties, JavaScript modules and certain APIs.**
  • **More secure.** IE11 was designed with security in mind and is more secure than older versions. Using security features like SmartScreen and Enhanced Protected Mode can help IE11 reduce your risk.
  • **Faster.** IE11 is significantly faster than previous versions of Internet Explorer, taking advantage of network optimization and hardware-accelerated text, graphics, and JavaScript rendering.
  • **Easier migration to Windows 10.** IE11 is the only version of IE that runs on Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10. Upgrading to IE11 on Windows 7 can also help your organization support the next generation of software, services, and devices.
  • **Administration.** IE11 can use the Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK) 11 or MSIs for deployment and includes more than 1,600 Group Policies and preferences for granular control.

    FixFix Description

    8And16BitAggregateBlts

    Applications that are mitigated by 8/16-bit mitigation can exhibit performance issues. This layer aggregates all the blt operations and improves performance.

    8And16BitDXMaxWinMode

    Applications that use DX8/9 and are mitigated by the 8/16-bit mitigation are run in a maximized windowed mode. This layer mitigates applications that exhibit graphical corruption in full screen mode.

    8And16BitGDIRedraw

    This fix repairs applications that use GDI and that work in 8-bit color mode. The application is forced to repaint its window on RealizePalette.

    AccelGdipFlush

    This fix increases the speed of GdipFlush, which has perf issues in DWM.

    AoaMp4Converter

    This fix resolves a display issue for the AoA Mp4 Converter.

    BIOSRead

    This problem is indicated when an application cannot access the Device\PhysicalMemory object beyond the kernel-mode drivers, on any of the Windows Server® 2003 operating systems.

    -

    The fix enables OEM executable (.exe) files to use the GetSystemFirmwareTable function instead of the NtOpenSection function when the BIOS is queried for the \Device\Physical memory information..

    BlockRunasInteractiveUser

    This problem occurs when InstallShield creates installers and uninstallers that fail to complete and that generate error messages or warnings.

    -

    The fix blocks InstallShield from setting the value of RunAs registry keys to InteractiveUser Because InteractiveUser no longer has Administrator rights.

    -
    -Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the BlockRunAsInteractiveUser Fix.

    -
    -
    - -

    ChangeFolderPathToXPStyle

    This fix is required when an application cannot return shell folder paths when it uses the SHGetFolder API.

    -

    The fix intercepts the SHGetFolder path request to the common appdata file path and returns the Windows® XP-style file path instead of the Windows Vista-style file path.

    ClearLastErrorStatusonIntializeCriticalSection

    This fix is indicated when an application fails to start.

    -

    The fix modifies the InitializeCriticalSection function call so that it checks the NTSTATUS error code, and then sets the last error to ERROR_SUCCESS.

    CopyHKCUSettingsFromOtherUsers

    This problem occurs when an application's installer must run in elevated mode and depends on the HKCU settings that are provided for other users.

    -

    The fix scans the existing user profiles and tries to copy the specified keys into the HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry area.

    -

    You can control this fix further by entering the relevant registry keys as parameters that are separated by the ^ Symbol; for example: Software\MyCompany\Key1^Software\MyCompany\Key2.

    -
    -Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the CopyHKCUSettingsFromOtherUsers Fix.

    -
    -
    - -

    CorrectCreateBrushIndirectHatch

    The problem is indicated by an access violation error message that displays and when the application fails when you select or crop an image.

    -

    The fix corrects the brush style hatch value, which is passed to the CreateBrushIndirect() function and enables the information to be correctly interpreted.

    CorrectFilePaths

    The problem is indicated when an application tries to write files to the hard disk and is denied access or receives a file not found or path not found error message.

    -

    The fix modifies the file path names to point to a new location on the hard disk.

    -
    -Note

    For more detailed information about the CorrectFilePaths application fix, see Using the CorrectFilePaths Fix. We recommend that you use this fix together with the CorrectFilePathsUninstall fix if you are applying it to a setup installation file.

    -
    -
    - -

    CorrectFilePathsUninstall

    This problem occurs when an uninstalled application leaves behind files, directories, and links.

    -

    The fix corrects the file paths that are used by the uninstallation process of an application.

    -
    -Note

    For more detailed information about this fix, see Using the CorrectFilePathsUninstall Fix. We recommend that you use this fix together with the CorrectFilePaths fix if you are applying it to a setup installation file.

    -
    -
    - -

    CorrectShellExecuteHWND

    This problem occurs when you start an executable (.exe) and a taskbar item blinks instead of an elevation prompt being opened, or when the application does not provide a valid HWND value when it calls the ShellExecute(Ex) function.

    -

    The fix intercepts the ShellExecute(Ex) calls, and then inspects the HWND value. If the value is invalid, this fix enables the call to use the currently active HWND value.

    -
    -Note

    For more detailed information about the CorrectShellExecuteHWND application fix, see Using the CorrectShellExecuteHWND Fix.

    -
    -
    - -

    CustomNCRender

    This fix instructs DWM to not render the non-client area, thereby forcing the application to do its own NC rendering. This often gives windows an XP look.

    DelayApplyFlag

    This fix applies a KERNEL, USER, or PROCESS flag if the specified DLL is loaded.

    -

    You can control this fix further by typing the following command at the command prompt:

    -

    DLL_Name;Flag_Type;Hexidecimal_Value

    -

    Where the DLL_Name is the name of the specific DLL, including the file extension. Flag_Type is KERNEL, USER, or PROCESS, and a Hexidecimal_Value, starting with 0x and up to 64-bits long.

    -
    -Note

    The PROCESS flag type can have a 32-bit length only. You can separate multiple entries with a backslash ().

    -
    -
    - -

    DeprecatedServiceShim

    The problem is indicated when an application tries to install a service that has a dependency on a deprecated service. An error message displays.

    -

    The fix intercepts the CreateService function calls and removes the deprecated dependency service from the lpDependencies parameter.

    -

    You can control this fix further by typing the following command at the command prompt:

    -

    Deprecated_Service\App_Service/Deprecated_Service2 \App_Service2

    -

    Where Deprecated_Service is the name of the service that has been deprecated and App_Service is the name of the specific application service that is to be modified; for example, NtLmSsp\WMI.

    -
    -Note

    If you do not provide an App_Service name, the deprecated service will be removed from all newly created services.

    -
    -
    - -
    -
    -Note

    You can separate multiple entries with a forward slash (/).

    -
    -
    - -

    DirectXVersionLie

    This problem occurs when an application fails because it does not find the correct version number for DirectX®.

    -

    The fix modifies the DXDIAGN GetProp function call to return the correct DirectX version.

    -

    You can control this fix further by typing the following command at the command prompt:

    -

    MAJORVERSION.MINORVERSION.LETTER

    -

    For example, 9.0.c.

    DetectorDWM8And16Bit

    This fix offeres mitigation for applications that work in 8/16-bit display color mode because these legacy color modes are not supported in Windows 8 .

    Disable8And16BitD3D

    This fix improves performance of 8/16-bit color applications that render using D3D and do not mix directdraw.

    Disable8And16BitModes

    This fix disables 8/16-bit color mitigation and enumeration of 8/16-bit color modes.

    DisableDWM

    The problem occurs when some objects are not drawn or object artifacts remain on the screen in an application.

    -

    The fix temporarily disables the Windows Aero menu theme functionality for unsupported applications.

    -
    -Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the DisableDWM Fix.

    -
    -
    - -

    DisableFadeAnimations

    The problem is indicated when an application fade animations, buttons, or other controls do not function properly.

    -

    The fix disables the fade animations functionality for unsupported applications.

    DisableThemeMenus

    The problem is indicated by an application that behaves unpredictably when it tries to detect and use the correct Windows settings.

    -

    The fix temporarily disables the Windows Aero menu theme functionality for unsupported applications.

    DisableWindowsDefender

    The fix disables Windows Defender for security applications that do not work with Windows Defender.

    DWM8And16BitMitigation

    The fix offers mitigation for applications that work in 8/16-bit display color mode because these legacy color modes are not supported in Windows 8.

    DXGICompat

    The fix allows application-specific compatibility instructions to be passed to the DirectX engine.

    DXMaximizedWindowedMode

    Applications that use DX8/9 are run in a maximized windowed mode. This is required for applications that use GDI/DirectDraw in addition to Direct3D.

    ElevateCreateProcess

    The problem is indicated when installations, de-installations, or updates fail because the host process calls the CreateProcess function and it returns an ERROR_ELEVATION_REQUIRED error message.

    -

    The fix handles the error code and attempts to recall the CreateProcess function together with requested elevation. If the fixed application already has a UAC manifest, the error code will be returned unchanged.

    -
    -Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the ElevateCreateProcess Fix.

    -
    -
    - -

    EmulateOldPathIsUNC

    The problem occurs when an application fails because of an incorrect UNC path.

    -

    The fix changes the PathIsUNC function to return a value of True for UNC paths in Windows.

    EmulateGetDiskFreeSpace

    The problem is indicated when an application fails to install or to run, and it generates an error message that there is not enough free disk space to install or use the application, even though there is enough free disk space to meet the application requirements.

    -

    The fix determines the amount of free space, so that if the amount of free space is larger than 2 GB, the compatibility fix returns a value of 2 GB, but if the amount of free space is smaller than 2 GB, the compatibility fix returns the actual free space amount.

    -
    -Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the EmulateGetDiskFreeSpace Fix.

    -
    -
    - -

    EmulateSorting

    The problem occurs when an application experiences search functionality issues.

    -

    The fix forces applications that use the CompareStringW/LCMapString sorting table to use an older version of the table.

    -
    -Note

    For more detailed information about this e application fix, see Using the EmulateSorting Fix.

    -
    -
    - -

    EmulateSortingWindows61

    The fix emulates the sorting order of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 for various APIs.

    EnableRestarts

    The problem is indicated when an application and computer appear to hang because processes cannot end to allow the computer to complete its restart processes.

    -

    The fix enables the computer to restart and finish the installation process by verifying and enabling that the SeShutdownPrivilege service privilege exists.

    -
    -Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the EnableRestarts Fix.

    -
    -
    - -

    ExtraAddRefDesktopFolder

    The problem occurs when an application invokes the Release() method too many times and causes an object to be prematurely destroyed.

    -

    The fix counteracts the application's tries to obtain the shell desktop folder by invoking the AddRef() method on the Desktop folder, which is returned by the SHGetDesktopFolder function.

    FailObsoleteShellAPIs

    The problem occurs when an application fails because it generated deprecated API calls.

    -

    The fix either fully implements the obsolete functions or implements the obsolete functions with stubs that fail.

    -
    -Note

    You can type FailAll=1 at the command prompt to suppress the function implementation and force all functions to fail.

    -
    -
    - -

    FailRemoveDirectory

    The problem occurs when an application uninstallation process does not remove all of the application files and folders.

    -

    This fix fails calls to RemoveDirectory() when called with a path matching the one specified in the shim command-line. Only a single path is supported. The path can contain environment variables, but must be an exact path – no partial paths are supported.

    -

    The fix can resolve an issue where an application expects RemoveDirectory() to delete a folder immediately even though a handle is open to it.

    FakeLunaTheme

    The problem occurs when a theme application does not properly display: the colors are washed out or the user interface is not detailed.

    -

    The fix intercepts the GetCurrentThemeName API and returns the value for the Windows XP default theme, (Luna).

    -
    -Note

    For more detailed information about the FakeLunaTheme application fix, see Using the FakeLunaTheme Fix.

    -
    -
    - -

    FlushFile

    This problem is indicated when a file is updated and changes do not immediately appear on the hard disk. Applications cannot see the file changes.

    -

    The fix enables the WriteFile function to call to the FlushFileBuffers APIs, which flush the file cache onto the hard disk.

    FontMigration

    The fix replaces an application-requested font with a better font selection, to avoid text truncation.

    ForceAdminAccess

    The problem occurs when an application fails to function during an explicit administrator check.

    -

    The fix allows the user to temporarily imitate being a part of the Administrators group by returning a value of True during the administrator check.

    -
    -Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the ForceAdminAccess Fix.

    -
    -
    - -

    ForceInvalidateOnClose

    The fix invalidates any windows that exist under a closing or hiding window for applications that rely on the invalidation messages.

    ForceLoadMirrorDrvMitigation

    The fix loads the Windows 8 mirror driver mitigation for applications where the mitigation is not automatically applied.

    FreestyleBMX

    The fix resolves an application race condition that is related to window message order.

    GetDriveTypeWHook

    The application presents unusual behavior during installation; for example, the setup program states that it cannot install to a user-specified location.

    -

    The fix changes GetDriveType() so that only the root information appears for the file path. This is required when an application passes an incomplete or badly-formed file path when it tries to retrieve the drive type on which the file path exists.

    GlobalMemoryStatusLie

    The problem is indicated by a Computer memory full error message that displays when you start an application.

    -

    The fix modifies the memory status structure, so that it reports a swap file that is 400 MB, regardless of the true swap file size.

    HandleBadPtr

    The problem is indicated by an access violation error message that displays because an API is performing pointer validation before it uses a parameter.

    -

    The fix supports using lpBuffer validation from the InternetSetOptionA and InternetSetOptionW functions to perform the additional parameter validation.

    HandleMarkedContentNotIndexed

    The problem is indicated by an application that fails when it changes an attribute on a file or directory.

    -

    The fix intercepts any API calls that return file attributes and directories that are invoked from the %TEMP% directory, and resets the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NOT_CONTENT_INDEXED attribute to its original state.

    HeapClearAllocation

    The problem is indicated when the allocation process shuts down unexpectedly.

    -

    The fix uses zeros to clear out the heap allocation for an application.

    IgnoreAltTab

    The problem occurs when an application fails to function when special key combinations are used.

    -

    The fix intercepts the RegisterRawInputDevices API and prevents the delivery of the WM_INPUT messages. This delivery failure forces the included hooks to be ignored and forces DInput to use Windows-specific hooks.

    -
    -Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the IgnoreAltTab Fix.

    -
    -
    - -

    IgnoreChromeSandbox

    The fix allows Google Chrome to run on systems that have ntdll loaded above 4GB.

    IgnoreDirectoryJunction

    The problem is indicated by a read or access violation error message that displays when an application tries to find or open files.

    -

    The fix links the FindNextFileW, FindNextFileA, FindFirstFileExW, FindFirstFileExA, FindFirstFileW and FindFirstFileA APIs to prevent them from returning directory junctions.

    -
    -Note

    Symbolic links appear starting in Windows Vista.

    -
    -
    - -

    IgnoreException

    The problem is indicated when an application stops functioning immediately after it starts, or the application starts with only a cursor appearing on the screen.

    -

    The fix enables the application to ignore specified exceptions. By default, this fix ignores privileged-mode exceptions; however, it can be configured to ignore any exception.

    -

    You can control this fix further by typing the following command at the command prompt:

    -

    Exception1;Exception2

    -

    Where Exception1 and Exception2 are specific exceptions to be ignored. For example: ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ:1;ACCESS_VIOLATION_WRITE:1.

    -
    -Important

    You should use this compatibility fix only if you are certain that it is acceptable to ignore the exception. You might experience additional compatibility issues if you choose to incorrectly ignore an exception.

    -
    -
    - -
    -
    -Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the IgnoreException Fix.

    -
    -
    - -

    IgnoreFloatingPointRoundingControl

    This fix enables an application to ignore the rounding control request and to behave as expected in previous versions of the application.

    -

    Before floating point SSE2 support in the C runtime library, the rounding control request was being ignored which would use round to nearest option by default. This shim ignores the rounding control request to support applications relying on old behavior.

    IgnoreFontQuality

    The problem occurs when application text appears to be distorted.

    -

    The fix enables color-keyed fonts to properly work with anti-aliasing.

    IgnoreMessageBox

    The problem is indicated by a message box that displays with debugging or extraneous content when the application runs on an unexpected operating system.

    -

    The fix intercepts the MessageBox* APIs and inspects them for specific message text. If matching text is found, the application continues without showing the message box.

    -
    -Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the IgnoreMessageBox Fix.

    -
    -
    - -

    IgnoreMSOXMLMF

    The problem is indicated by an error message that states that the operating system cannot locate the MSVCR80D.DLL file.

    -

    The fix ignores the registered MSOXMLMF.DLL object, which Microsoft® Office 2007 loads into the operating system any time that you load an XML file, and then it fails the CoGetClassObject for its CLSID. This compatibility fix will just ignore the registered MSOXMLMF and fail the CoGetClassObject for its CLSID.

    IgnoreSetROP2

    The fix ignores read-modify-write operations on the desktop to avoid performance issues.

    InstallComponent

    The fix prompts the user to install.Net 3.5 or .Net 2.0 because .Net is not included with Windows 8.

    LoadLibraryRedirect

    The fix forces an application to load system versions of libraries instead of loading redistributable versions that shipped with the application.

    LocalMappedObject

    The problem occurs when an application unsuccessfully tries to create an object in the Global namespace.

    -

    The fix intercepts the function call to create the object and replaces the word Global with Local.

    -
    -Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the LocalMappedObject Fix.

    -
    -
    - -

    MakeShortcutRunas

    The problem is indicated when an application fails to uninstall because of access-related errors.

    -

    The fix locates any RunDLL.exe-based uninstallers and forces them to run with different credentials during the application installation. After it applies this fix, the installer will create a shortcut that specifies a matching string to run during the application installation, thereby enabling the uninstallation to occur later.

    -
    -Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the MakeShortcutRunas Fix

    -
    -
    - -

    ManageLinks

    The fix intercepts common APIs that are going to a directory or to an executable (.exe) file, and then converts any symbolic or directory junctions before passing it back to the original APIs.

    MirrorDriverWithComposition

    The fix allows mirror drivers to work properly with acceptable performance with desktop composition.

    MoveToCopyFileShim

    The problem occurs when an application experiences security access issues during setup.

    -

    The fix forces the CopyFile APIs to run instead of the MoveFile APIs. CopyFile APIs avoid moving the security descriptor, which enables the application files to get the default descriptor of the destination folder and prevents the security access issue.

    OpenDirectoryAcl

    The problem is indicated by an error message that states that you do not have the appropriate permissions to access the application.

    -

    The fix reduces the security privilege levels on a specified set of files and folders.

    -
    -Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the OpenDirectoryACL Fix.

    -
    -
    - -

    PopCapGamesForceResPerf

    The fix resolves the performance issues in PopCap games like Bejeweled2. The performance issues are visible in certain low-end cards at certain resolutions where the 1024x768 buffer is scaled to fit the display resolution.

    PreInstallDriver

    The fix preinstalls drivers for applications that would otherwise try to install or start drivers during the initial start process.

    PreInstallSmarteSECURE

    The fix preinstalls computer-wide CLSIDs for applications that use SmartSECURE copy protection, which would otherwise try to install the CLSIDs during the initial start process.

    ProcessPerfData

    The problem is indicated by an Unhandled Exception error message because the application tried to read the process performance data registry value to determine if another instance of the application is running.

    -

    The fix handles the failure case by passing a fake process performance data registry key, so that the application perceives that it is the only instance running.

    -
    -Note

    This issue seems to occur most frequently with .NET applications.

    -
    -
    - -

    PromoteDAM

    The fix registers an application for power state change notifications.

    PropagateProcessHistory

    The problem occurs when an application incorrectly fails to apply an application fix.

    -

    The fix sets the _PROCESS_HISTORY environment variable so that child processes can look in the parent directory for matching information while searching for application fixes.

    ProtectedAdminCheck

    The problem occurs when an application fails to run because of incorrect Protected Administrator permissions.

    -

    The fix addresses the issues that occur when applications use non-standard Administrator checks, thereby generating false positives for user accounts that are being run as Protected Administrators. In this case, the associated SID exists, but it is set as deny-only.

    RedirectCRTTempFile

    The fix intercepts failing CRT calls that try to create a temporary file at the root of the volume, thereby redirecting the calls to a temporary file in the user's temporary directory.

    RedirectHKCUKeys

    The problem occurs when an application cannot be accessed because of User Account Control (UAC) restrictions.

    -

    The fix duplicates any newly created HKCU keys to other users' HKCU accounts. This fix is generic for UAC restrictions, whereby the HKCU keys are required, but are unavailable to an application at runtime.

    RedirectMP3Codec

    This problem occurs when you cannot play MP3 files.

    -

    The fix intercepts the CoCreateInstance call for the missing filter and then redirects it to a supported version.

    RedirectShortcut

    The problem occurs when an application cannot be accessed by its shortcut, or application shortcuts are not removed during the application uninstallation process.

    -

    The fix redirects all of the shortcuts created during the application setup to appear according to a specified path.

    -
      -

    • Start Menu shortcuts: Appear in the \ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu directory for all users.

      • -

    • Desktop or Quick Launch shortcuts:You must manually place the shortcuts on the individual user's desktop or Quick Launch bar.

      • -
    -

    This issue occurs because of UAC restrictions: specifically, when an application setup runs by using elevated privileges and stores the shortcuts according to the elevated user's context. In this situation, a restricted user cannot access the shortcuts.

    -

    You cannot apply this fix to an .exe file that includes a manifest and provides a runlevel.

    RelaunchElevated

    The problem occurs when installers, uninstallers, or updaters fail when they are started from a host application.

    -

    The fix enables a child .exe file to run with elevated privileges when it is difficult to determine the parent process with either the ElevateCreateProcess fix or by marking the .exe files to RunAsAdmin.

    -
    -Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the RelaunchElevated Fix.

    -
    -
    - -

    RetryOpenSCManagerWithReadAccess

    The problem occurs when an application tries to open the Service Control Manager (SCM) and receives an Access Denied error message.

    -

    The fix retries the call and requests a more restricted set of rights that include the following:

    -

    RetryOpenServiceWithReadAccess

    The problem occurs when an Unable to open service due to your application using the OpenService() API to test for the existence of a particular service error message displays.

    -

    The fix retries the OpenService() API call and verifies that the user has Administrator rights, is not a Protected Administrator, and by using read-only access. Applications can test for the existence of a service by calling the OpenService() API but some applications ask for all access when making this check. This fix retries the call but only asking for read-only access. The user needs to be an administrator for this to work

    -
    -Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the RetryOpenServiceWithReadAccess Fix.

    -
    -
    - -

    RunAsAdmin

    The problem occurs when an application fails to function by using the Standard User or Protected Administrator account.

    -

    The fix enables the application to run by using elevated privileges. The fix is the equivalent of specifying requireAdministrator in an application manifest.

    -
    -Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the RunAsAdmin Fix.

    -
    -
    - -

    RunAsHighest

    The problem occurs when administrators cannot view the read/write version of an application that presents a read-only view to standard users.

    -

    The fix enables the application to run by using the highest available permissions. This is the equivalent of specifying highestAvailable in an application manifest.

    -
    -Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the RunAsHighest Fix.

    -
    -
    - -

    RunAsInvoker

    The problem occurs when an application is not detected as requiring elevation.

    -

    The fix enables the application to run by using the privileges that are associated with the creation process, without requiring elevation. This is the equivalent of specifying asInvoker in an application manifest.

    -
    -Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the RunAsInvoker Fix.

    -
    -
    - -

    SecuROM7

    The fix repairs applications by using SecuROM7 for copy protection.

    SessionShim

    The fix intercepts API calls from applications that are trying to interact with services that are running in another session, by using the terminal service name prefix (Global or Local) as the parameter.

    -

    At the command prompt, you can supply a list of objects to modify, separating the values by a double backslash (). Or, you can choose not to include any parameters, so that all of the objects are modified.

    -
    -Important

    Users cannot log in as Session 0 (Global Session) in Windows Vista and later. Therefore, applications that require access to Session 0 automatically fail.

    -
    -
    - -
    -
    -Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the SessionShim Fix.

    -
    -
    - -

    SetProtocolHandler

    The fix registers an application as a protocol handler.

    -

    You can control this fix further by typing the following command at the command prompt:

    -

    Client;Protocol;App

    -

    Where the Client is the name of the email protocol, Protocol is mailto, and App is the name of the application.

    -
    -Note

    Only the mail client and the mailto protocol are supported. You can separate multiple clients by using a backslash ().

    -
    -
    - -

    SetupCommitFileQueueIgnoreWow

    The problem occurs when a 32-bit setup program fails to install because it requires 64-bit drivers.

    -

    The fix disables the Wow64 file system that is used by the 64-bit editions of Windows, to prevent 32-bit applications from accessing 64-bit file systems during the application setup.

    SharePointDesigner2007

    The fix resolves an application bug that severely slows the application when it runs in DWM.

    ShimViaEAT

    The problem occurs when an application fails, even after applying acompatibility fix that is known to fix an issue. Applications that use unicows.dll or copy protection often present this issue.

    -

    The fix applies the specified compatibility fixes by modifying the export table and by nullifying the use of module inclusion and exclusion.

    -
    -Note

    For more information about this application fix, see Using the ShimViaEAT Fix.

    -
    -
    - -

    ShowWindowIE

    The problem occurs when a web application experiences navigation and display issues because of the tabbing feature.

    -

    The fix intercepts the ShowWindow API call to address the issues that can occur when a web application determines that it is in a child window. This fix calls the real ShowWindow API on the top-level parent window.

    SierraWirelessHideCDROM

    The fix repairs the Sierra Wireless Driver installation, thereby preventing bugcheck.

    Sonique2

    The application uses an invalid window style, which breaks in DWM. This fix replaces the window style with a valid value.

    SpecificInstaller

    The problem occurs when an application installation file fails to be picked up by the GenericInstaller function.

    -

    The fix flags the application as being an installer file (for example, setup.exe), and then prompts for elevation.

    -
    -Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the SpecificInstaller Fix.

    -
    -
    - -

    SpecificNonInstaller

    The problem occurs when an application that is not an installer (and has sufficient privileges) generates a false positive from the GenericInstaller function.

    -

    The fix flags the application to exclude it from detection by the GenericInstaller function.

    -
    -Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the SpecificNonInstaller Fix.

    -
    -
    - -

    SystemMetricsLie

    The fix replaces SystemMetrics values and SystemParametersInfo values with the values of previous Windows versions.

    TextArt

    The application receives different mouse coordinates with DWM ON versus DWM OFF, which causes the application to hang. This fix resolves the issue.

    TrimDisplayDeviceNames

    The fix trims the names of the display devices that are returned by the EnumDisplayDevices API.

    UIPICompatLogging

    The fix enables the logging of Windows messages from Internet Explorer and other processes.

    UIPIEnableCustomMsgs

    The problem occurs when an application does not properly communicate with other processes because customized Windows messages are not delivered.

    -

    The fix enables customized Windows messages to pass through to the current process from a lower Desktop integrity level. This fix is the equivalent of calling the RegisterWindowMessage function, followed by the ChangeWindowMessageFilter function in the code.

    -

    You can control this fix further by typing the following command at the command prompt:

    -

    MessageString1 MessageString2

    -

    Where MessageString1 and MessageString2 reflect the message strings that can pass.

    -
    -Note

    Multiple message strings must be separated by spaces. For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the UIPIEnableCustomMsgs Fix.

    -
    -
    - -

    UIPIEnableStandardMsgs

    The problem occurs when an application does not communicate properly with other processes because standard Windows messages are not delivered.

    -

    The fix enables standard Windows messages to pass through to the current process from a lower Desktop integrity level. This fix is the equivalent of calling the ChangeWindowMessageFilter function in the code.

    -

    You can control this fix further by typing the following command at the command prompt:

    -

    1055 1056 1069

    -

    Where 1055 reflects the first message ID, 1056 reflects the second message ID, and 1069 reflects the third message ID that can pass.

    -
    -Note

    Multiple messages can be separated by spaces. For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the UIPIEnableStandardMsgs Fix [act].

    -
    -
    - -

    VirtualizeDeleteFileLayer

    The fix virtualizes DeleteFile operations for applications that try to delete protected files.

    VirtualizeDesktopPainting

    This fix improves the performance of a number of operations on the Desktop DC while using DWM.

    VirtualRegistry

    The problem is indicated when a Component failed to be located error message displays when an application is started.

    -

    The fix enables the registry functions to allow for virtualization, redirection, expansion values, version spoofing, the simulation of performance data counters, and so on.

    -

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the VirtualRegistry Fix.

    VirtualizeDeleteFile

    The problem occurs when several error messages display and the application cannot delete files.

    -

    The fix makes the application's DeleteFile function call a virtual call in an effort to remedy the UAC and file virtualization issues that were introduced with Windows Vista. This fix also links other file APIs (for example, GetFileAttributes) to ensure that the virtualization of the file is deleted.

    -
    -Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the VirtualizeDeleteFile Fix.

    -
    -
    - -

    VirtualizeHKCRLite

    The problem occurs when an application fails to register COM components at runtime.

    -

    The fix redirects the HKCR write calls (HKLM) to the HKCU hive for a per-user COM registration. This operates much like the VirtualRegistry fix when you use the VirtualizeHKCR parameter; however, VirtualizeHKCRLite provides better performance.

    -

    HKCR is a virtual merge of the HKCU\Software\Classes and HKLM\Software\Classes directories. The use of HKCU is preferred if an application is not elevated and is ignored if the application is elevated.

    -

    You typically will use this compatibility fix in conjunction with the VirtualizeRegisterTypeLib fix.

    -

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the VirtualizeHKCRLite Fix.

    VirtualizeRegisterTypeLib

    The fix, when it is used with the VirtualizeHKCRLite fix, ensures that the type library and the COM class registration happen simultaneously. This functions much like the RegistryTypeLib fix when the RegisterTypeLibForUser parameter is used.

    -
    -Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the VirtualizeRegisterTypelib Fix.

    -
    -
    - -

    WaveOutIgnoreBadFormat

    This problem is indicated by an error message that states: Unable to initialize sound device from your audio driver; the application then closes.

    -

    The fix enables the application to ignore the format error and continue to function properly.

    WerDisableReportException

    The fix turns off the silent reporting of exceptions to the Windows Error Reporting tool, including those that are reported by Object Linking and Embedding-Database (OLE DB). The fix intercepts the RtlReportException API and returns a STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED error message.

    Win7RTM/Win8RTM

    The layer provides the application with Windows 7/Windows 8 compatibility mode.

    WinxxRTMVersionLie

    The problem occurs when an application fails because it does not find the correct version number for the required Windows operating system.

    -

    All version lie compatibility fixes address the issue whereby an application fails to function because it is checking for, but not finding, a specific version of the operating system. The version lie fix returns the appropriate operating system version information. For example, the VistaRTMVersionLie returns the Windows Vista version information to the application, regardless of the actual operating system version that is running on the computer.

    Wing32SystoSys32

    The problem is indicated by an error message that states that the WinG library was not properly installed.

    -

    The fix detects whether the WinG32 library exists in the correct directory. If the library is located in the wrong location, this fix copies the information (typically during the runtime of the application) into the %WINDIR% \system32 directory.

    -
    -Important

    The application must have Administrator privileges for this fix to work.

    -
    -
    - -

    WinSrv08R2RTM

    WinXPSP2VersionLie

    The problem occurs when an application experiences issues because of a VB runtime DLL.

    -

    The fix forces the application to follow these steps:

    -
      -

    1. Open the Compatibility Administrator, and then select None for Operating System Mode.

      2. -

    2. On the Compatibility Fixes page, click WinXPSP2VersionLie, and then click Parameters.

      -

      The Options for <fix_name> dialog box appears.

      3. -

    3. Type vbrun60.dll into the Module Name box, click Include, and then click Add.

      4. -

    4. Save the custom database.

      -
      -Note

      For more information about the WinXPSP2VersionLie application fix, see Using the WinXPSP2VersionLie Fix.

      -
      -
      - -
      5. -

    WRPDllRegister

    The application fails when it tries to register a COM component that is released together with Windows Vista and later.

    -

    The fix skips the processes of registering and unregistering WRP-protected COM components when calling the DLLRegisterServer and DLLUnregisterServer functions.

    -

    You can control this fix further by typing the following command at the command prompt:

    -

    Component1.dll;Component2.dll

    -

    Where Component1.dll and Component2.dll reflect the components to be skipped.

    -
    -Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the WRPDllRegister Fix.

    -
    -
    - -

    WRPMitigation

    The problem is indicated when an access denied error message displays when the application tries to access a protected operating system resource by using more than read-only access.

    -

    The fix emulates the successful authentication and modification of file and registry APIs, so that the application can continue.

    -
    -Note

    For more detailed information about WRPMitigation, see Using the WRPMitigation Fix.

    -
    -
    - -

    WRPRegDeleteKey

    The problem is indicated by an access denied error message that displays when the application tries to delete a registry key.

    -

    The fix verifies whether the registry key is WRP-protected. If the key is protected, this fix emulates the deletion process.

    XPAfxIsValidAddress

    The fix emulates the behavior of Windows XP for MFC42!AfxIsValidAddress.

    FixFix Description

    8And16BitAggregateBlts

    Applications that are mitigated by 8/16-bit mitigation can exhibit performance issues. This layer aggregates all the blt operations and improves performance.

    8And16BitDXMaxWinMode

    Applications that use DX8/9 and are mitigated by the 8/16-bit mitigation are run in a maximized windowed mode. This layer mitigates applications that exhibit graphical corruption in full screen mode.

    8And16BitGDIRedraw

    This fix repairs applications that use GDI and that work in 8-bit color mode. The application is forced to repaint its window on RealizePalette.

    AccelGdipFlush

    This fix increases the speed of GdipFlush, which has perf issues in DWM.

    AoaMp4Converter

    This fix resolves a display issue for the AoA Mp4 Converter.

    BIOSRead

    This problem is indicated when an application cannot access the Device\PhysicalMemory object beyond the kernel-mode drivers, on any of the Windows Server® 2003 operating systems.

    +

    The fix enables OEM executable (.exe) files to use the GetSystemFirmwareTable function instead of the NtOpenSection function when the BIOS is queried for the \Device\Physical memory information..

    BlockRunasInteractiveUser

    This problem occurs when InstallShield creates installers and uninstallers that fail to complete and that generate error messages or warnings.

    +

    The fix blocks InstallShield from setting the value of RunAs registry keys to InteractiveUser Because InteractiveUser no longer has Administrator rights.

    +
    +Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the BlockRunAsInteractiveUser Fix.

    +
    +
    + +

    ChangeFolderPathToXPStyle

    This fix is required when an application cannot return shell folder paths when it uses the SHGetFolder API.

    +

    The fix intercepts the SHGetFolder path request to the common appdata file path and returns the Windows® XP-style file path instead of the Windows Vista-style file path.

    ClearLastErrorStatusonIntializeCriticalSection

    This fix is indicated when an application fails to start.

    +

    The fix modifies the InitializeCriticalSection function call so that it checks the NTSTATUS error code, and then sets the last error to ERROR_SUCCESS.

    CopyHKCUSettingsFromOtherUsers

    This problem occurs when an application's installer must run in elevated mode and depends on the HKCU settings that are provided for other users.

    +

    The fix scans the existing user profiles and tries to copy the specified keys into the HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry area.

    +

    You can control this fix further by entering the relevant registry keys as parameters that are separated by the ^ Symbol; for example: Software\MyCompany\Key1^Software\MyCompany\Key2.

    +
    +Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the CopyHKCUSettingsFromOtherUsers Fix.

    +
    +
    + +

    CorrectCreateBrushIndirectHatch

    The problem is indicated by an access violation error message that displays and when the application fails when you select or crop an image.

    +

    The fix corrects the brush style hatch value, which is passed to the CreateBrushIndirect() function and enables the information to be correctly interpreted.

    CorrectFilePaths

    The problem is indicated when an application tries to write files to the hard disk and is denied access or receives a file not found or path not found error message.

    +

    The fix modifies the file path names to point to a new location on the hard disk.

    +
    +Note

    For more detailed information about the CorrectFilePaths application fix, see Using the CorrectFilePaths Fix. We recommend that you use this fix together with the CorrectFilePathsUninstall fix if you are applying it to a setup installation file.

    +
    +
    + +

    CorrectFilePathsUninstall

    This problem occurs when an uninstalled application leaves behind files, directories, and links.

    +

    The fix corrects the file paths that are used by the uninstallation process of an application.

    +
    +Note

    For more detailed information about this fix, see Using the CorrectFilePathsUninstall Fix. We recommend that you use this fix together with the CorrectFilePaths fix if you are applying it to a setup installation file.

    +
    +
    + +

    CorrectShellExecuteHWND

    This problem occurs when you start an executable (.exe) and a taskbar item blinks instead of an elevation prompt being opened, or when the application does not provide a valid HWND value when it calls the ShellExecute(Ex) function.

    +

    The fix intercepts the ShellExecute(Ex) calls, and then inspects the HWND value. If the value is invalid, this fix enables the call to use the currently active HWND value.

    +
    +Note

    For more detailed information about the CorrectShellExecuteHWND application fix, see Using the CorrectShellExecuteHWND Fix.

    +
    +
    + +

    CustomNCRender

    This fix instructs DWM to not render the non-client area, thereby forcing the application to do its own NC rendering. This often gives windows an XP look.

    DelayApplyFlag

    This fix applies a KERNEL, USER, or PROCESS flag if the specified DLL is loaded.

    +

    You can control this fix further by typing the following command at the command prompt:

    +

    DLL_Name;Flag_Type;Hexidecimal_Value

    +

    Where the DLL_Name is the name of the specific DLL, including the file extension. Flag_Type is KERNEL, USER, or PROCESS, and a Hexidecimal_Value, starting with 0x and up to 64-bits long.

    +
    +Note

    The PROCESS flag type can have a 32-bit length only. You can separate multiple entries with a backslash ().

    +
    +
    + +

    DeprecatedServiceShim

    The problem is indicated when an application tries to install a service that has a dependency on a deprecated service. An error message displays.

    +

    The fix intercepts the CreateService function calls and removes the deprecated dependency service from the lpDependencies parameter.

    +

    You can control this fix further by typing the following command at the command prompt:

    +

    Deprecated_Service\App_Service/Deprecated_Service2 \App_Service2

    +

    Where Deprecated_Service is the name of the service that has been deprecated and App_Service is the name of the specific application service that is to be modified; for example, NtLmSsp\WMI.

    +
    +Note

    If you do not provide an App_Service name, the deprecated service will be removed from all newly created services.

    +
    +
    + +
    +
    +Note

    You can separate multiple entries with a forward slash (/).

    +
    +
    + +

    DirectXVersionLie

    This problem occurs when an application fails because it does not find the correct version number for DirectX®.

    +

    The fix modifies the DXDIAGN GetProp function call to return the correct DirectX version.

    +

    You can control this fix further by typing the following command at the command prompt:

    +

    MAJORVERSION.MINORVERSION.LETTER

    +

    For example, 9.0.c.

    DetectorDWM8And16Bit

    This fix offeres mitigation for applications that work in 8/16-bit display color mode because these legacy color modes are not supported in Windows 8 .

    Disable8And16BitD3D

    This fix improves performance of 8/16-bit color applications that render using D3D and do not mix directdraw.

    Disable8And16BitModes

    This fix disables 8/16-bit color mitigation and enumeration of 8/16-bit color modes.

    DisableDWM

    The problem occurs when some objects are not drawn or object artifacts remain on the screen in an application.

    +

    The fix temporarily disables the Windows Aero menu theme functionality for unsupported applications.

    +
    +Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the DisableDWM Fix.

    DisableFadeAnimations

    The problem is indicated when an application fade animations, buttons, or other controls do not function properly.

    +

    The fix disables the fade animations functionality for unsupported applications.

    DisableThemeMenus

    The problem is indicated by an application that behaves unpredictably when it tries to detect and use the correct Windows settings.

    +

    The fix temporarily disables the Windows Aero menu theme functionality for unsupported applications.

    DisableWindowsDefender

    The fix disables Windows Defender for security applications that do not work with Windows Defender.

    DWM8And16BitMitigation

    The fix offers mitigation for applications that work in 8/16-bit display color mode because these legacy color modes are not supported in Windows 8.

    DXGICompat

    The fix allows application-specific compatibility instructions to be passed to the DirectX engine.

    DXMaximizedWindowedMode

    Applications that use DX8/9 are run in a maximized windowed mode. This is required for applications that use GDI/DirectDraw in addition to Direct3D.

    ElevateCreateProcess

    The problem is indicated when installations, de-installations, or updates fail because the host process calls the CreateProcess function and it returns an ERROR_ELEVATION_REQUIRED error message.

    +

    The fix handles the error code and attempts to recall the CreateProcess function together with requested elevation. If the fixed application already has a UAC manifest, the error code will be returned unchanged.

    +
    +Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the ElevateCreateProcess Fix.

    +
    +
    + +

    EmulateOldPathIsUNC

    The problem occurs when an application fails because of an incorrect UNC path.

    +

    The fix changes the PathIsUNC function to return a value of True for UNC paths in Windows.

    EmulateGetDiskFreeSpace

    The problem is indicated when an application fails to install or to run, and it generates an error message that there is not enough free disk space to install or use the application, even though there is enough free disk space to meet the application requirements.

    +

    The fix determines the amount of free space, so that if the amount of free space is larger than 2 GB, the compatibility fix returns a value of 2 GB, but if the amount of free space is smaller than 2 GB, the compatibility fix returns the actual free space amount.

    +
    +Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the EmulateGetDiskFreeSpace Fix.

    +
    +
    + +

    EmulateSorting

    The problem occurs when an application experiences search functionality issues.

    +

    The fix forces applications that use the CompareStringW/LCMapString sorting table to use an older version of the table.

    +
    +Note

    For more detailed information about this e application fix, see Using the EmulateSorting Fix.

    +
    +
    + +

    EmulateSortingWindows61

    The fix emulates the sorting order of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 for various APIs.

    EnableRestarts

    The problem is indicated when an application and computer appear to hang because processes cannot end to allow the computer to complete its restart processes.

    +

    The fix enables the computer to restart and finish the installation process by verifying and enabling that the SeShutdownPrivilege service privilege exists.

    +
    +Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the EnableRestarts Fix.

    +
    +
    + +

    ExtraAddRefDesktopFolder

    The problem occurs when an application invokes the Release() method too many times and causes an object to be prematurely destroyed.

    +

    The fix counteracts the application's tries to obtain the shell desktop folder by invoking the AddRef() method on the Desktop folder, which is returned by the SHGetDesktopFolder function.

    FailObsoleteShellAPIs

    The problem occurs when an application fails because it generated deprecated API calls.

    +

    The fix either fully implements the obsolete functions or implements the obsolete functions with stubs that fail.

    +
    +Note

    You can type FailAll=1 at the command prompt to suppress the function implementation and force all functions to fail.

    +
    +
    + +

    FailRemoveDirectory

    The problem occurs when an application uninstallation process does not remove all of the application files and folders.

    +

    This fix fails calls to RemoveDirectory() when called with a path matching the one specified in the shim command-line. Only a single path is supported. The path can contain environment variables, but must be an exact path – no partial paths are supported.

    +

    The fix can resolve an issue where an application expects RemoveDirectory() to delete a folder immediately even though a handle is open to it.

    FakeLunaTheme

    The problem occurs when a theme application does not properly display: the colors are washed out or the user interface is not detailed.

    +

    The fix intercepts the GetCurrentThemeName API and returns the value for the Windows XP default theme, (Luna).

    +
    +Note

    For more detailed information about the FakeLunaTheme application fix, see Using the FakeLunaTheme Fix.

    +
    +
    + +

    FlushFile

    This problem is indicated when a file is updated and changes do not immediately appear on the hard disk. Applications cannot see the file changes.

    +

    The fix enables the WriteFile function to call to the FlushFileBuffers APIs, which flush the file cache onto the hard disk.

    FontMigration

    The fix replaces an application-requested font with a better font selection, to avoid text truncation.

    ForceAdminAccess

    The problem occurs when an application fails to function during an explicit administrator check.

    +

    The fix allows the user to temporarily imitate being a part of the Administrators group by returning a value of True during the administrator check.

    +
    +Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the ForceAdminAccess Fix.

    +
    +
    + +

    ForceInvalidateOnClose

    The fix invalidates any windows that exist under a closing or hiding window for applications that rely on the invalidation messages.

    ForceLoadMirrorDrvMitigation

    The fix loads the Windows 8 mirror driver mitigation for applications where the mitigation is not automatically applied.

    FreestyleBMX

    The fix resolves an application race condition that is related to window message order.

    GetDriveTypeWHook

    The application presents unusual behavior during installation; for example, the setup program states that it cannot install to a user-specified location.

    +

    The fix changes GetDriveType() so that only the root information appears for the file path. This is required when an application passes an incomplete or badly-formed file path when it tries to retrieve the drive type on which the file path exists.

    GlobalMemoryStatusLie

    The problem is indicated by a Computer memory full error message that displays when you start an application.

    +

    The fix modifies the memory status structure, so that it reports a swap file that is 400 MB, regardless of the true swap file size.

    HandleBadPtr

    The problem is indicated by an access violation error message that displays because an API is performing pointer validation before it uses a parameter.

    +

    The fix supports using lpBuffer validation from the InternetSetOptionA and InternetSetOptionW functions to perform the additional parameter validation.

    HandleMarkedContentNotIndexed

    The problem is indicated by an application that fails when it changes an attribute on a file or directory.

    +

    The fix intercepts any API calls that return file attributes and directories that are invoked from the %TEMP% directory, and resets the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NOT_CONTENT_INDEXED attribute to its original state.

    HeapClearAllocation

    The problem is indicated when the allocation process shuts down unexpectedly.

    +

    The fix uses zeros to clear out the heap allocation for an application.

    IgnoreAltTab

    The problem occurs when an application fails to function when special key combinations are used.

    +

    The fix intercepts the RegisterRawInputDevices API and prevents the delivery of the WM_INPUT messages. This delivery failure forces the included hooks to be ignored and forces DInput to use Windows-specific hooks.

    +
    +Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the IgnoreAltTab Fix.

    +
    +
    + +

    IgnoreChromeSandbox

    The fix allows Google Chrome to run on systems that have ntdll loaded above 4GB.

    IgnoreDirectoryJunction

    The problem is indicated by a read or access violation error message that displays when an application tries to find or open files.

    +

    The fix links the FindNextFileW, FindNextFileA, FindFirstFileExW, FindFirstFileExA, FindFirstFileW and FindFirstFileA APIs to prevent them from returning directory junctions.

    +
    +Note

    Symbolic links appear starting in Windows Vista.

    +
    +
    + +

    IgnoreException

    The problem is indicated when an application stops functioning immediately after it starts, or the application starts with only a cursor appearing on the screen.

    +

    The fix enables the application to ignore specified exceptions. By default, this fix ignores privileged-mode exceptions; however, it can be configured to ignore any exception.

    +

    You can control this fix further by typing the following command at the command prompt:

    +

    Exception1;Exception2

    +

    Where Exception1 and Exception2 are specific exceptions to be ignored. For example: ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ:1;ACCESS_VIOLATION_WRITE:1.

    +
    +Important

    You should use this compatibility fix only if you are certain that it is acceptable to ignore the exception. You might experience additional compatibility issues if you choose to incorrectly ignore an exception.

    +
    +
    + +
    +
    +Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the IgnoreException Fix.

    +
    +
    + +

    IgnoreFloatingPointRoundingControl

    This fix enables an application to ignore the rounding control request and to behave as expected in previous versions of the application.

    +

    Before floating point SSE2 support in the C runtime library, the rounding control request was being ignored which would use round to nearest option by default. This shim ignores the rounding control request to support applications relying on old behavior.

    IgnoreFontQuality

    The problem occurs when application text appears to be distorted.

    +

    The fix enables color-keyed fonts to properly work with anti-aliasing.

    IgnoreMessageBox

    The problem is indicated by a message box that displays with debugging or extraneous content when the application runs on an unexpected operating system.

    +

    The fix intercepts the MessageBox* APIs and inspects them for specific message text. If matching text is found, the application continues without showing the message box.

    +
    +Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the IgnoreMessageBox Fix.

    +
    +
    + +

    IgnoreMSOXMLMF

    The problem is indicated by an error message that states that the operating system cannot locate the MSVCR80D.DLL file.

    +

    The fix ignores the registered MSOXMLMF.DLL object, which Microsoft® Office 2007 loads into the operating system any time that you load an XML file, and then it fails the CoGetClassObject for its CLSID. This compatibility fix will just ignore the registered MSOXMLMF and fail the CoGetClassObject for its CLSID.

    IgnoreSetROP2

    The fix ignores read-modify-write operations on the desktop to avoid performance issues.

    InstallComponent

    The fix prompts the user to install.Net 3.5 or .Net 2.0 because .Net is not included with Windows 8.

    LoadLibraryRedirect

    The fix forces an application to load system versions of libraries instead of loading redistributable versions that shipped with the application.

    LocalMappedObject

    The problem occurs when an application unsuccessfully tries to create an object in the Global namespace.

    +

    The fix intercepts the function call to create the object and replaces the word Global with Local.

    +
    +Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the LocalMappedObject Fix.

    +
    +
    + +

    MakeShortcutRunas

    The problem is indicated when an application fails to uninstall because of access-related errors.

    +

    The fix locates any RunDLL.exe-based uninstallers and forces them to run with different credentials during the application installation. After it applies this fix, the installer will create a shortcut that specifies a matching string to run during the application installation, thereby enabling the uninstallation to occur later.

    +
    +Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the MakeShortcutRunas Fix

    +
    +
    + +

    ManageLinks

    The fix intercepts common APIs that are going to a directory or to an executable (.exe) file, and then converts any symbolic or directory junctions before passing it back to the original APIs.

    MirrorDriverWithComposition

    The fix allows mirror drivers to work properly with acceptable performance with desktop composition.

    MoveToCopyFileShim

    The problem occurs when an application experiences security access issues during setup.

    +

    The fix forces the CopyFile APIs to run instead of the MoveFile APIs. CopyFile APIs avoid moving the security descriptor, which enables the application files to get the default descriptor of the destination folder and prevents the security access issue.

    OpenDirectoryAcl

    The problem is indicated by an error message that states that you do not have the appropriate permissions to access the application.

    +

    The fix reduces the security privilege levels on a specified set of files and folders.

    +
    +Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the OpenDirectoryACL Fix.

    +
    +
    + +

    PopCapGamesForceResPerf

    The fix resolves the performance issues in PopCap games like Bejeweled2. The performance issues are visible in certain low-end cards at certain resolutions where the 1024x768 buffer is scaled to fit the display resolution.

    PreInstallDriver

    The fix preinstalls drivers for applications that would otherwise try to install or start drivers during the initial start process.

    PreInstallSmarteSECURE

    The fix preinstalls computer-wide CLSIDs for applications that use SmartSECURE copy protection, which would otherwise try to install the CLSIDs during the initial start process.

    ProcessPerfData

    The problem is indicated by an Unhandled Exception error message because the application tried to read the process performance data registry value to determine if another instance of the application is running.

    +

    The fix handles the failure case by passing a fake process performance data registry key, so that the application perceives that it is the only instance running.

    +
    +Note

    This issue seems to occur most frequently with .NET applications.

    +
    +
    + +

    PromoteDAM

    The fix registers an application for power state change notifications.

    PropagateProcessHistory

    The problem occurs when an application incorrectly fails to apply an application fix.

    +

    The fix sets the _PROCESS_HISTORY environment variable so that child processes can look in the parent directory for matching information while searching for application fixes.

    ProtectedAdminCheck

    The problem occurs when an application fails to run because of incorrect Protected Administrator permissions.

    +

    The fix addresses the issues that occur when applications use non-standard Administrator checks, thereby generating false positives for user accounts that are being run as Protected Administrators. In this case, the associated SID exists, but it is set as deny-only.

    RedirectCRTTempFile

    The fix intercepts failing CRT calls that try to create a temporary file at the root of the volume, thereby redirecting the calls to a temporary file in the user's temporary directory.

    RedirectHKCUKeys

    The problem occurs when an application cannot be accessed because of User Account Control (UAC) restrictions.

    +

    The fix duplicates any newly created HKCU keys to other users' HKCU accounts. This fix is generic for UAC restrictions, whereby the HKCU keys are required, but are unavailable to an application at runtime.

    RedirectMP3Codec

    This problem occurs when you cannot play MP3 files.

    +

    The fix intercepts the CoCreateInstance call for the missing filter and then redirects it to a supported version.

    RedirectShortcut

    The problem occurs when an application cannot be accessed by its shortcut, or application shortcuts are not removed during the application uninstallation process.

    +

    The fix redirects all of the shortcuts created during the application setup to appear according to a specified path.

    +
      +

    • Start Menu shortcuts: Appear in the \ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu directory for all users.

      • +

    • Desktop or Quick Launch shortcuts:You must manually place the shortcuts on the individual user's desktop or Quick Launch bar.

      • +
    +

    This issue occurs because of UAC restrictions: specifically, when an application setup runs by using elevated privileges and stores the shortcuts according to the elevated user's context. In this situation, a restricted user cannot access the shortcuts.

    +

    You cannot apply this fix to an .exe file that includes a manifest and provides a runlevel.

    RelaunchElevated

    The problem occurs when installers, uninstallers, or updaters fail when they are started from a host application.

    +

    The fix enables a child .exe file to run with elevated privileges when it is difficult to determine the parent process with either the ElevateCreateProcess fix or by marking the .exe files to RunAsAdmin.

    +
    +Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the RelaunchElevated Fix.

    +
    +
    + +

    RetryOpenSCManagerWithReadAccess

    The problem occurs when an application tries to open the Service Control Manager (SCM) and receives an Access Denied error message.

    +

    The fix retries the call and requests a more restricted set of rights that include the following:

    +

    RetryOpenServiceWithReadAccess

    The problem occurs when an Unable to open service due to your application using the OpenService() API to test for the existence of a particular service error message displays.

    +

    The fix retries the OpenService() API call and verifies that the user has Administrator rights, is not a Protected Administrator, and by using read-only access. Applications can test for the existence of a service by calling the OpenService() API but some applications ask for all access when making this check. This fix retries the call but only asking for read-only access. The user needs to be an administrator for this to work

    +
    +Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the RetryOpenServiceWithReadAccess Fix.

    +
    +
    + +

    RunAsAdmin

    The problem occurs when an application fails to function by using the Standard User or Protected Administrator account.

    +

    The fix enables the application to run by using elevated privileges. The fix is the equivalent of specifying requireAdministrator in an application manifest.

    +
    +Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the RunAsAdmin Fix.

    +
    +
    + +

    RunAsHighest

    The problem occurs when administrators cannot view the read/write version of an application that presents a read-only view to standard users.

    +

    The fix enables the application to run by using the highest available permissions. This is the equivalent of specifying highestAvailable in an application manifest.

    +
    +Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the RunAsHighest Fix.

    +
    +
    + +

    RunAsInvoker

    The problem occurs when an application is not detected as requiring elevation.

    +

    The fix enables the application to run by using the privileges that are associated with the creation process, without requiring elevation. This is the equivalent of specifying asInvoker in an application manifest.

    +
    +Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the RunAsInvoker Fix.

    +
    +
    + +

    SecuROM7

    The fix repairs applications by using SecuROM7 for copy protection.

    SessionShim

    The fix intercepts API calls from applications that are trying to interact with services that are running in another session, by using the terminal service name prefix (Global or Local) as the parameter.

    +

    At the command prompt, you can supply a list of objects to modify, separating the values by a double backslash (). Or, you can choose not to include any parameters, so that all of the objects are modified.

    +
    +Important

    Users cannot log in as Session 0 (Global Session) in Windows Vista and later. Therefore, applications that require access to Session 0 automatically fail.

    +
    +
    + +
    +
    +Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the SessionShim Fix.

    +
    +
    + +

    SetProtocolHandler

    The fix registers an application as a protocol handler.

    +

    You can control this fix further by typing the following command at the command prompt:

    +

    Client;Protocol;App

    +

    Where the Client is the name of the email protocol, Protocol is mailto, and App is the name of the application.

    +
    +Note

    Only the mail client and the mailto protocol are supported. You can separate multiple clients by using a backslash ().

    +
    +
    + +

    SetupCommitFileQueueIgnoreWow

    The problem occurs when a 32-bit setup program fails to install because it requires 64-bit drivers.

    +

    The fix disables the Wow64 file system that is used by the 64-bit editions of Windows, to prevent 32-bit applications from accessing 64-bit file systems during the application setup.

    SharePointDesigner2007

    The fix resolves an application bug that severely slows the application when it runs in DWM.

    ShimViaEAT

    The problem occurs when an application fails, even after applying acompatibility fix that is known to fix an issue. Applications that use unicows.dll or copy protection often present this issue.

    +

    The fix applies the specified compatibility fixes by modifying the export table and by nullifying the use of module inclusion and exclusion.

    +
    +Note

    For more information about this application fix, see Using the ShimViaEAT Fix.

    +
    +
    + +

    ShowWindowIE

    The problem occurs when a web application experiences navigation and display issues because of the tabbing feature.

    +

    The fix intercepts the ShowWindow API call to address the issues that can occur when a web application determines that it is in a child window. This fix calls the real ShowWindow API on the top-level parent window.

    SierraWirelessHideCDROM

    The fix repairs the Sierra Wireless Driver installation, thereby preventing bugcheck.

    Sonique2

    The application uses an invalid window style, which breaks in DWM. This fix replaces the window style with a valid value.

    SpecificInstaller

    The problem occurs when an application installation file fails to be picked up by the GenericInstaller function.

    +

    The fix flags the application as being an installer file (for example, setup.exe), and then prompts for elevation.

    +
    +Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the SpecificInstaller Fix.

    +
    +
    + +

    SpecificNonInstaller

    The problem occurs when an application that is not an installer (and has sufficient privileges) generates a false positive from the GenericInstaller function.

    +

    The fix flags the application to exclude it from detection by the GenericInstaller function.

    +
    +Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the SpecificNonInstaller Fix.

    +
    +
    + +

    SystemMetricsLie

    The fix replaces SystemMetrics values and SystemParametersInfo values with the values of previous Windows versions.

    TextArt

    The application receives different mouse coordinates with DWM ON versus DWM OFF, which causes the application to hang. This fix resolves the issue.

    TrimDisplayDeviceNames

    The fix trims the names of the display devices that are returned by the EnumDisplayDevices API.

    UIPICompatLogging

    The fix enables the logging of Windows messages from Internet Explorer and other processes.

    UIPIEnableCustomMsgs

    The problem occurs when an application does not properly communicate with other processes because customized Windows messages are not delivered.

    +

    The fix enables customized Windows messages to pass through to the current process from a lower Desktop integrity level. This fix is the equivalent of calling the RegisterWindowMessage function, followed by the ChangeWindowMessageFilter function in the code.

    +

    You can control this fix further by typing the following command at the command prompt:

    +

    MessageString1 MessageString2

    +

    Where MessageString1 and MessageString2 reflect the message strings that can pass.

    +
    +Note

    Multiple message strings must be separated by spaces. For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the UIPIEnableCustomMsgs Fix.

    +
    +
    + +

    UIPIEnableStandardMsgs

    The problem occurs when an application does not communicate properly with other processes because standard Windows messages are not delivered.

    +

    The fix enables standard Windows messages to pass through to the current process from a lower Desktop integrity level. This fix is the equivalent of calling the ChangeWindowMessageFilter function in the code.

    +

    You can control this fix further by typing the following command at the command prompt:

    +

    1055 1056 1069

    +

    Where 1055 reflects the first message ID, 1056 reflects the second message ID, and 1069 reflects the third message ID that can pass.

    +
    +Note

    Multiple messages can be separated by spaces. For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the UIPIEnableStandardMsgs Fix [act].

    +
    +
    + +

    VirtualizeDeleteFileLayer

    The fix virtualizes DeleteFile operations for applications that try to delete protected files.

    VirtualizeDesktopPainting

    This fix improves the performance of a number of operations on the Desktop DC while using DWM.

    VirtualRegistry

    The problem is indicated when a Component failed to be located error message displays when an application is started.

    +

    The fix enables the registry functions to allow for virtualization, redirection, expansion values, version spoofing, the simulation of performance data counters, and so on.

    +

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the VirtualRegistry Fix.

    VirtualizeDeleteFile

    The problem occurs when several error messages display and the application cannot delete files.

    +

    The fix makes the application's DeleteFile function call a virtual call in an effort to remedy the UAC and file virtualization issues that were introduced with Windows Vista. This fix also links other file APIs (for example, GetFileAttributes) to ensure that the virtualization of the file is deleted.

    +
    +Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the VirtualizeDeleteFile Fix.

    +
    +
    + +

    VirtualizeHKCRLite

    The problem occurs when an application fails to register COM components at runtime.

    +

    The fix redirects the HKCR write calls (HKLM) to the HKCU hive for a per-user COM registration. This operates much like the VirtualRegistry fix when you use the VirtualizeHKCR parameter; however, VirtualizeHKCRLite provides better performance.

    +

    HKCR is a virtual merge of the HKCU\Software\Classes and HKLM\Software\Classes directories. The use of HKCU is preferred if an application is not elevated and is ignored if the application is elevated.

    +

    You typically will use this compatibility fix in conjunction with the VirtualizeRegisterTypeLib fix.

    +

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the VirtualizeHKCRLite Fix.

    VirtualizeRegisterTypeLib

    The fix, when it is used with the VirtualizeHKCRLite fix, ensures that the type library and the COM class registration happen simultaneously. This functions much like the RegistryTypeLib fix when the RegisterTypeLibForUser parameter is used.

    +
    +Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the VirtualizeRegisterTypelib Fix.

    +
    +
    + +

    WaveOutIgnoreBadFormat

    This problem is indicated by an error message that states: Unable to initialize sound device from your audio driver; the application then closes.

    +

    The fix enables the application to ignore the format error and continue to function properly.

    WerDisableReportException

    The fix turns off the silent reporting of exceptions to the Windows Error Reporting tool, including those that are reported by Object Linking and Embedding-Database (OLE DB). The fix intercepts the RtlReportException API and returns a STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED error message.

    Win7RTM/Win8RTM

    The layer provides the application with Windows 7/Windows 8 compatibility mode.

    WinxxRTMVersionLie

    The problem occurs when an application fails because it does not find the correct version number for the required Windows operating system.

    +

    All version lie compatibility fixes address the issue whereby an application fails to function because it is checking for, but not finding, a specific version of the operating system. The version lie fix returns the appropriate operating system version information. For example, the VistaRTMVersionLie returns the Windows Vista version information to the application, regardless of the actual operating system version that is running on the computer.

    Wing32SystoSys32

    The problem is indicated by an error message that states that the WinG library was not properly installed.

    +

    The fix detects whether the WinG32 library exists in the correct directory. If the library is located in the wrong location, this fix copies the information (typically during the runtime of the application) into the %WINDIR% \system32 directory.

    +
    +Important

    The application must have Administrator privileges for this fix to work.

    +
    +
    + +

    WinSrv08R2RTM

    WinXPSP2VersionLie

    The problem occurs when an application experiences issues because of a VB runtime DLL.

    +

    The fix forces the application to follow these steps:

    +
      +

    1. Open the Compatibility Administrator, and then select None for Operating System Mode.

      2. +

    2. On the Compatibility Fixes page, click WinXPSP2VersionLie, and then click Parameters.

      +

      The Options for <fix_name> dialog box appears.

      3. +

    3. Type vbrun60.dll into the Module Name box, click Include, and then click Add.

      4. +

    4. Save the custom database.

      +
      +Note

      For more information about the WinXPSP2VersionLie application fix, see Using the WinXPSP2VersionLie Fix.

      +
      +
      + +
      5. +

    WRPDllRegister

    The application fails when it tries to register a COM component that is released together with Windows Vista and later.

    +

    The fix skips the processes of registering and unregistering WRP-protected COM components when calling the DLLRegisterServer and DLLUnregisterServer functions.

    +

    You can control this fix further by typing the following command at the command prompt:

    +

    Component1.dll;Component2.dll

    +

    Where Component1.dll and Component2.dll reflect the components to be skipped.

    +
    +Note

    For more detailed information about this application fix, see Using the WRPDllRegister Fix.

    +
    +
    + +

    WRPMitigation

    The problem is indicated when an access denied error message displays when the application tries to access a protected operating system resource by using more than read-only access.

    +

    The fix emulates the successful authentication and modification of file and registry APIs, so that the application can continue.

    +
    +Note

    For more detailed information about WRPMitigation, see Using the WRPMitigation Fix.

    +
    +
    + +

    WRPRegDeleteKey

    The problem is indicated by an access denied error message that displays when the application tries to delete a registry key.

    +

    The fix verifies whether the registry key is WRP-protected. If the key is protected, this fix emulates the deletion process.

    XPAfxIsValidAddress

    The fix emulates the behavior of Windows XP for MFC42!AfxIsValidAddress.

The feature does not support feature updates and therefore does not enable you to stay current. It also requires a specific type of USB that is no longer supported by many OEMs. - -From the start, Windows To Go was designed to minimize differences between the user experience of working on a laptop and Windows To Go booted from a USB drive. Given that Windows To Go was designed as an enterprise solution, extra consideration was given to the deployment workflows that enterprises already have in place. Additionally, there has been a focus on minimizing the number of differences in deployment between Windows To Go workspaces and laptop PCs. - -**Note**   -Windows To Go does not support operating system upgrades. Windows To Go is designed as a feature that is managed centrally. IT departments that plan to transition from one operating system version to a later version will need to incorporate re-imaging their existing Windows To Go drives as part of their upgrade deployment process. - - - -The following sections discuss the boot experience, deployment methods, and tools that you can use with Windows To Go. - -- [Initial boot experiences](#wtg-initboot) - -- [Image deployment and drive provisioning considerations](#wtg-imagedep) - -- [Application installation and domain join](#wtg-appinstall) - -- [Management of Windows To Go using Group Policy](#bkmk-wtggp) - -- [Supporting booting from USB](#wtg-bootusb) - -- [Updating firmware](#stg-firmware) - -- [Configure Windows To Go startup options](#wtg-startup) - -- [Change firmware settings](#wtg-changefirmware) - -## Initial boot experiences - - -The following diagrams illustrate the two different methods you could use to provide Windows To Go drives to your users. The experiences differ depending on whether the user will be booting the device initially on-premises or off-premises: - -![initial boot on-premises](images/wtg-first-boot-work.gif) - -When a Windows To Go workspace is first used at the workplace, the Windows To Go workspace can be joined to the domain through the normal procedures that occur when a new computer is introduced. It obtains a lease, applicable policies are applied and set, and user account tokens are placed appropriately. BitLocker protection can be applied and the BitLocker recovery key automatically stored in Active Directory Domain Services. The user can access network resources to install software and get access to data sources. When the workspace is subsequently booted at a different location either on or off premises, the configuration required for it to connect back to the work network using either DirectAccess or a virtual private network connection can be configured. It is not necessary to configure the workspace for offline domain join. DirectAccess can make connecting to organizational resources easier, but is not required. - -![initial boot off-premises](images/wtg-first-boot-home.gif) - -When the Windows To Go workspace is going to be used first on an off-premises computer, such as one at the employee’s home, then the IT professional preparing the Windows To Go drives should configure the drive to be able to connect to organizational resources and to maintain the security of the workspace. In this situation, the Windows To Go workspace needs to be configured for offline domain join and BitLocker needs to be enabled before the workspace has been initialized. - -**Tip**   -Applying BitLocker Drive Encryption to the drives before provisioning is a much faster process than encrypting the drives after data has already been stored on them due to a new feature called used-disk space only encryption. For more information, see [What's New in BitLocker](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=619076). - - - -DirectAccess can be used to ensure that the user can login with their domain credentials without needing a local account. For instructions on setting up a DirectAccess solution, for a small pilot deployment see [Deploy a Single Remote Access Server using the Getting Started Wizard](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=619077) for a larger scale deployment, see [Deploy Remote Access in an Enterprise](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=619078). If you do not want to use DirectAccess as an alternative users could log on using a local user account on the Windows To Go workspace and then use a virtual private network for remote access to your organizational network. - -### Image deployment and drive provisioning considerations - -The Image Deployment process can be accomplished either by a centralized IT process for your organization or by individual users creating their own Windows To Go workspaces. You must have local Administrator access and access to a Windows 10 Enterprise or Windows 10 Education image to create a Windows To Go workspace, or you must be using System Center Configuration Manager 2012 Service Pack 1 or later to distribute Windows To Go workspaces to users. The image deployment process takes a blank USB drive and a Windows 10 Enterprise image (WIM) and turns it into a Windows To Go drive. - -![windows to go image deployment](images/wtg-image-deployment.gif) - -The simplest way to provision a Windows To Go drive is to use the Windows To Go Creator. After a single Windows To Go workspace has been created, it can be duplicated as many times as necessary using widely available USB duplicator products as long as the device has not been booted. After the Windows To Go drive is initialized, it should not be duplicated. Alternatively, Windows To Go Workspace Creator can be run multiple times to create multiple Windows To Go drives. - -**Tip**   -When you create your Windows To Go image use sysprep /generalize, just as you do when you deploy Windows 10 to a standard PC. In fact, if appropriate, use the same image for both deployments. - - - -**Driver considerations** - -Windows includes most of the drivers that you will need to support a wide variety of host computers. However, you will occasionally need to download drivers from Windows Update to take advantage of the full functionality of a device. If you are using Windows To Go on a set of known host computers, you can add any additional drivers to the image used on Windows To Go to make Windows To Go drives more quickly usable by your employees. Especially ensure that network drivers are available so that the user can connect to Windows Update to get additional drivers if necessary. - -Wi-Fi network adapter drivers are one of the most important drivers to make sure that you include in your standard image so that users can easily connect to the internet for any additional updates. IT administrators that are attempting to build Windows 10 images for use with Windows To Go should consider adding additional Wi-Fi drivers to their image to ensure that their users have the best chance of still having basic network connectivity when roaming between systems. - -The following list of commonly used Wi-Fi network adapters that are not supported by the default drivers provided with Windows 10 is provided to help you ascertain whether or not you need to add drivers to your image. - - ------ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    - - - -IT administrators that want to target Windows To Go images for specific systems should test their images to ensure that the necessary system drivers are in the image, especially for critical functionality like Wi-Fi that is not supported by class drivers. Some consumer devices require OEM specific driver packages, which may not be available on Windows Update. For more information on how to add a driver to a Windows Image, please refer to the [Basic Windows Deployment Step-by-Step Guide](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=619079). - -### Application installation and domain join - -Unless you are using a customized Windows image that includes unattended installation settings, the initial Windows To Go workspace will not be domain joined and will not contain applications. This is exactly like a new installation of Windows on a desktop or laptop computer. When planning your deployment, you should develop methods to join Windows to Go drives to the domain and install the standard applications that users in your organization require. These methods probably will be similar to the ones used for setting up desktop and laptop computers with domain privileges and applications - -### Management of Windows To Go using Group Policy - -In general, management of Windows To Go workspaces is same as that for desktop and laptop computers. There are Windows To Go specific Group Policy settings that should be considered as part of Windows To Go deployment. Windows To Go Group Policy settings are located at `\\Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Portable Operating System\` in the Local Group Policy Editor. - -The use of the Store on Windows To Go workspaces that are running Windows 8 can also be controlled by Group Policy. This policy setting is located at `\\Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Store\` in the Local Group Policy Editor. The policy settings have specific implications for Windows To Go that you should be aware of when planning your deployment: - -**Settings for workspaces** - -- **Allow hibernate (S4) when started from a Windows To Go workspace** - - This policy setting specifies whether the PC can use the hibernation sleep state (S4) when started from a Windows To Go workspace. By default, hibernation is disabled when using Windows To Go workspace, so enabling this setting explicitly turns this ability back on. When a computer enters hibernation, the contents of memory are written to disk. When the disk is resumed, it is important that the hardware attached to the system, as well as the disk itself, are unchanged. This is inherently incompatible with roaming between PC hosts. Hibernation should only be used when the Windows To Go workspace is not being used to roam between host PCs. - - **Important**   - For the host-PC to resume correctly when hibernation is enabled the Windows To Go workspace must continue to use the same USB port. - - - -- **Disallow standby sleep states (S1-S3) when starting from a Windows To Go workspace** - - This policy setting specifies whether the PC can use standby sleep states (S1–S3) when started from a Windows To Go workspace. The Sleep state also presents a unique challenge to Windows To Go users. When a computer goes to sleep, it appears as if it is shut down. It could be very easy for a user to think that a Windows To Go workspace in sleep mode was actually shut down and they could remove the Windows To Go drive and take it home. Removing the Windows To Go drive in this scenario is equivalent to an unclean shutdown which may result in the loss of unsaved user data or the corruption on the drive. Moreover, if the user now boots the drive on another PC and brings it back to the first PC which still happens to be in the sleep state, it will lead to an arbitrary crash and eventually corruption of the drive and result in the workspace becoming unusable. If you enable this policy setting, the Windows To Go workspace cannot use the standby states to cause the PC to enter sleep mode. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the Windows To Go workspace can place the PC in sleep mode. - -**Settings for host PCs** - -- **Windows To Go Default Startup Options** - - This policy setting controls whether the host computer will boot to Windows To Go if a USB device containing a Windows To Go workspace is connected, and controls whether users can make changes using the **Windows To Go Startup Options** settings dialog. If you enable this policy setting, booting to Windows To Go when a USB device is connected will be enabled and users will not be able to make changes using the **Windows To Go Startup Options** settings dialog. If you disable this policy setting, booting to Windows To Go when a USB device is connected will not be enabled unless a user configures the option manually in the firmware. If you do not configure this policy setting, users who are members of the local Administrators group can enable or disable booting from USB using the **Windows To Go Startup Options** settings dialog. - - **Important**   - Enabling this policy setting will cause PCs running Windows to attempt to boot from any USB device that is inserted into the PC before it is started. - - - -## Supporting booting from USB - - -The biggest hurdle for a user wanting to use Windows To Go is configuring their computer to boot from USB. This is traditionally done by entering the firmware and configuring the appropriate boot order options. To ease the process of making the firmware modifications required for Windows To Go, Windows includes a feature named **Windows To Go Startup Options** that allows a user to configure their computer to boot from USB from within Windows—without ever entering their firmware, as long as their firmware supports booting from USB. - -**Note**   -Enabling a system to always boot from USB first has implications that you should consider. For example, a USB device that includes malware could be booted inadvertently to compromise the system, or multiple USB drives could be plugged in to cause a boot conflict. For this reason, the Windows To Go startup options are disabled by default. In addition, administrator privileges are required to configure Windows To Go startup options. - - - -If you are going to be using a Windows 7 computer as a host-PC, see the wiki article [Tips for configuring your BIOS settings to work with Windows To Go](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=618951). - -### Roaming between different firmware types - -Windows supports two types of PC firmware: Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI), which is the new standard, and legacy BIOS firmware, which was used in most PCs shipping with Windows 7 or earlier version of Windows. Each firmware type has completely different Windows boot components that are incompatible with each other. Beyond the different boot components, Windows supports different partition styles and layout requirements for each type of firmware as shown in the following diagrams. - -![bios layout](images/wtg-mbr-bios.gif)![uefi layout](images/wtg-gpt-uefi.gif) - -This presented a unique challenge for Windows To Go because the firmware type is not easily determined by end-users—a UEFI computer looks just like a legacy BIOS computer and Windows To Go must boot on both types of firmware. - -To enable booting Windows To Go on both types of firmware, a new disk layout is provided for Windows 8 or later that contains both sets of boot components on a FAT32 system partition and a new command-line option was added to bcdboot.exe to support this configuration. The **/f** option is used with the **bcdboot /s** command to specify the firmware type of the target system partition by appending either **UEFI**, **BIOS** or **ALL**. When creating Windows To Go drives manually you must use the **ALL** parameter to provide the Windows To Go drive the ability to boot on both types of firmware. For example, on volume H: (your Windows To Go USB drive letter), you would use the command **bcdboot C:\\windows /s H: /f ALL**. The following diagram illustrates the disk layout that results from that command: - -![firmware roaming disk layout](images/wtg-mbr-firmware-roaming.gif) - -This is the only supported disk configuration for Windows To Go. With this disk configuration, a single Windows To Go drive can be booted on computers with UEFI and legacy BIOS firmware. - -### Configure Windows To Go startup options - -Windows To Go Startup Options is a setting available on Windows 10-based PCs that enables the computer to be booted from a USB without manually changing the firmware settings of the PC. To configure Windows To Go Startup Options you must have administrative rights on the computer and the **Windows To Go Default Startup Options** Group Policy setting must not be configured. - -**To configure Windows To Go startup options** - -1. On the Start screen, type, type **Windows To Go Startup Options**, click **Settings** and then press Enter. - - ![windows to go startup options](images/wtg-startup-options.gif) - -2. Select **Yes** to enable the startup options. - - **Tip**   - If your computer is part of a domain, the Group Policy setting can be used to enable the startup options instead of the dialog. - - - -3. Click **Save Changes**. If the User Account Control dialog box is displayed, confirm that the action it displays is what you want, and then click **Yes**. - -### Change firmware settings - -If you choose to not use the Windows To Go startup options or are using a PC running Windows 7 as your host computer you will need to manually configure the firmware settings. The process used to accomplish this will depend on the firmware type and manufacturer. If your host computer is protected by BitLocker and running Windows 7 you should suspend BitLocker before making the change to the firmware settings. After the firmware settings have been successfully reconfigured, resume BitLocker protection. If you do not suspend BitLocker first, BitLocker will assume that the computer has been tampered with and will boot into BitLocker recovery mode. - -## Related topics - - -[Windows To Go: feature overview](windows-to-go-overview.md) - -[Prepare your organization for Windows To Go](prepare-your-organization-for-windows-to-go.md) - -[Security and data protection considerations for Windows To Go](security-and-data-protection-considerations-for-windows-to-go.md) - -[Windows To Go: frequently asked questions](windows-to-go-frequently-asked-questions.md) - - - - - - - - - +--- +title: Deployment considerations for Windows To Go (Windows 10) +description: Deployment considerations for Windows To Go +ms.assetid: dcfc5d96-b96b-44cd-ab65-416b5611c65e +ms.reviewer: +manager: laurawi +ms.author: greglin +keywords: deploy, mobile, device, USB, boot, image, workspace, driver +ms.prod: w10 +ms.mktglfcycl: plan +ms.pagetype: mobility +ms.sitesec: library +audience: itpro +author: greg-lindsay +ms.topic: article +--- + +# Deployment considerations for Windows To Go + + +**Applies to** + +- Windows 10 + +>[!IMPORTANT] +>Windows To Go is no longer being developed. The feature does not support feature updates and therefore does not enable you to stay current. It also requires a specific type of USB that is no longer supported by many OEMs. + +From the start, Windows To Go was designed to minimize differences between the user experience of working on a laptop and Windows To Go booted from a USB drive. Given that Windows To Go was designed as an enterprise solution, extra consideration was given to the deployment workflows that enterprises already have in place. Additionally, there has been a focus on minimizing the number of differences in deployment between Windows To Go workspaces and laptop PCs. + +> [!NOTE] +> Windows To Go does not support operating system upgrades. Windows To Go is designed as a feature that is managed centrally. IT departments that plan to transition from one operating system version to a later version will need to incorporate re-imaging their existing Windows To Go drives as part of their upgrade deployment process. + + + +The following sections discuss the boot experience, deployment methods, and tools that you can use with Windows To Go. + +- [Initial boot experiences](#wtg-initboot) + +- [Image deployment and drive provisioning considerations](#wtg-imagedep) + +- [Application installation and domain join](#wtg-appinstall) + +- [Management of Windows To Go using Group Policy](#bkmk-wtggp) + +- [Supporting booting from USB](#wtg-bootusb) + +- [Updating firmware](#stg-firmware) + +- [Configure Windows To Go startup options](#wtg-startup) + +- [Change firmware settings](#wtg-changefirmware) + +## Initial boot experiences + + +The following diagrams illustrate the two different methods you could use to provide Windows To Go drives to your users. The experiences differ depending on whether the user will be booting the device initially on-premises or off-premises: + +![initial boot on-premises](images/wtg-first-boot-work.gif) + +When a Windows To Go workspace is first used at the workplace, the Windows To Go workspace can be joined to the domain through the normal procedures that occur when a new computer is introduced. It obtains a lease, applicable policies are applied and set, and user account tokens are placed appropriately. BitLocker protection can be applied and the BitLocker recovery key automatically stored in Active Directory Domain Services. The user can access network resources to install software and get access to data sources. When the workspace is subsequently booted at a different location either on or off premises, the configuration required for it to connect back to the work network using either DirectAccess or a virtual private network connection can be configured. It is not necessary to configure the workspace for offline domain join. DirectAccess can make connecting to organizational resources easier, but is not required. + +![initial boot off-premises](images/wtg-first-boot-home.gif) + +When the Windows To Go workspace is going to be used first on an off-premises computer, such as one at the employee’s home, then the IT professional preparing the Windows To Go drives should configure the drive to be able to connect to organizational resources and to maintain the security of the workspace. In this situation, the Windows To Go workspace needs to be configured for offline domain join and BitLocker needs to be enabled before the workspace has been initialized. + +**Tip**   +Applying BitLocker Drive Encryption to the drives before provisioning is a much faster process than encrypting the drives after data has already been stored on them due to a new feature called used-disk space only encryption. For more information, see [What's New in BitLocker](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=619076). + + + +DirectAccess can be used to ensure that the user can login with their domain credentials without needing a local account. For instructions on setting up a DirectAccess solution, for a small pilot deployment see [Deploy a Single Remote Access Server using the Getting Started Wizard](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=619077) for a larger scale deployment, see [Deploy Remote Access in an Enterprise](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=619078). If you do not want to use DirectAccess as an alternative users could log on using a local user account on the Windows To Go workspace and then use a virtual private network for remote access to your organizational network. + +### Image deployment and drive provisioning considerations + +The Image Deployment process can be accomplished either by a centralized IT process for your organization or by individual users creating their own Windows To Go workspaces. You must have local Administrator access and access to a Windows 10 Enterprise or Windows 10 Education image to create a Windows To Go workspace, or you must be using System Center Configuration Manager 2012 Service Pack 1 or later to distribute Windows To Go workspaces to users. The image deployment process takes a blank USB drive and a Windows 10 Enterprise image (WIM) and turns it into a Windows To Go drive. + +![windows to go image deployment](images/wtg-image-deployment.gif) + +The simplest way to provision a Windows To Go drive is to use the Windows To Go Creator. After a single Windows To Go workspace has been created, it can be duplicated as many times as necessary using widely available USB duplicator products as long as the device has not been booted. After the Windows To Go drive is initialized, it should not be duplicated. Alternatively, Windows To Go Workspace Creator can be run multiple times to create multiple Windows To Go drives. + +**Tip**   +When you create your Windows To Go image use sysprep /generalize, just as you do when you deploy Windows 10 to a standard PC. In fact, if appropriate, use the same image for both deployments. + + + +**Driver considerations** + +Windows includes most of the drivers that you will need to support a wide variety of host computers.

When the disk is resumed, it is important that the hardware attached to the system, as well as the disk itself, are unchanged. This is inherently incompatible with roaming between PC hosts. Hibernation should only be used when the Windows To Go workspace is not being used to roam between host PCs. + + > [!IMPORTANT]   + > For the host-PC to resume correctly when hibernation is enabled the Windows To Go workspace must continue to use the same USB port. + + + +- **Disallow standby sleep states (S1-S3) when starting from a Windows To Go workspace** + + This policy setting specifies whether the PC can use standby sleep states (S1–S3) when started from a Windows To Go workspace. The Sleep state also presents a unique challenge to Windows To Go users. When a computer goes to sleep, it appears as if it is shut down. It could be very easy for a user to think that a Windows To Go workspace in sleep mode was actually shut down and they could remove the Windows To Go drive and take it home. Removing the Windows To Go drive in this scenario is equivalent to an unclean shutdown which may result in the loss of unsaved user data or the corruption on the drive. Moreover, if the user now boots the drive on another PC and brings it back to the first PC which still happens to be in the sleep state, it will lead to an arbitrary crash and eventually corruption of the drive and result in the workspace becoming unusable. If you enable this policy setting, the Windows To Go workspace cannot use the standby states to cause the PC to enter sleep mode. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the Windows To Go workspace can place the PC in sleep mode. + +**Settings for host PCs** + +- **Windows To Go Default Startup Options** + + This policy setting controls whether the host computer will boot to Windows To Go if a USB device containing a Windows To Go workspace is connected, and controls whether users can make changes using the **Windows To Go Startup Options** settings dialog. If you enable this policy setting, booting to Windows To Go when a USB device is connected will be enabled and users will not be able to make changes using the **Windows To Go Startup Options** settings dialog. If you disable this policy setting, booting to Windows To Go when a USB device is connected will not be enabled unless a user configures the option manually in the firmware. If you do not configure this policy setting, users who are members of the local Administrators group can enable or disable booting from USB using the **Windows To Go Startup Options** settings dialog. + + > [!IMPORTANT]   + > Enabling this policy setting will cause PCs running Windows to attempt to boot from any USB device that is inserted into the PC before it is started. + + + +## Supporting booting from USB + + +The biggest hurdle for a user wanting to use Windows To Go is configuring their computer to boot from USB. This is traditionally done by entering the firmware and configuring the appropriate boot order options. To ease the process of making the firmware modifications required for Windows To Go, Windows includes a feature named **Windows To Go Startup Options** that allows a user to configure their computer to boot from USB from within Windows—without ever entering their firmware, as long as their firmware supports booting from USB. + +> [!NOTE] +> Enabling a system to always boot from USB first has implications that you should consider. For example, a USB device that includes malware could be booted inadvertently to compromise the system, or multiple USB drives could be plugged in to cause a boot conflict. For this reason, the Windows To Go startup options are disabled by default. In addition, administrator privileges are required to configure Windows To Go startup options. + + + +If you are going to be using a Windows 7 computer as a host-PC, see the wiki article [Tips for configuring your BIOS settings to work with Windows To Go](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=618951). + +### Roaming between different firmware types + +Windows supports two types of PC firmware: Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI), which is the new standard, and legacy BIOS firmware, which was used in most PCs shipping with Windows 7 or earlier version of Windows. Each firmware type has completely different Windows boot components that are incompatible with each other. Beyond the different boot components, Windows supports different partition styles and layout requirements for each type of firmware as shown in the following diagrams. + +![bios layout](images/wtg-mbr-bios.gif)![uefi layout](images/wtg-gpt-uefi.gif) + +This presented a unique challenge for Windows To Go because the firmware type is not easily determined by end-users—a UEFI computer looks just like a legacy BIOS computer and Windows To Go must boot on both types of firmware. + +To enable booting Windows To Go on both types of firmware, a new disk layout is provided for Windows 8 or later that contains both sets of boot components on a FAT32 system partition and a new command-line option was added to bcdboot.exe to support this configuration. The **/f** option is used with the **bcdboot /s** command to specify the firmware type of the target system partition by appending either **UEFI**, **BIOS** or **ALL**. When creating Windows To Go drives manually you must use the **ALL** parameter to provide the Windows To Go drive the ability to boot on both types of firmware. For example, on volume H: (your Windows To Go USB drive letter), you would use the command **bcdboot C:\\windows /s H: /f ALL**. The following diagram illustrates the disk layout that results from that command: + +![firmware roaming disk layout](images/wtg-mbr-firmware-roaming.gif) + +This is the only supported disk configuration for Windows To Go. With this disk configuration, a single Windows To Go drive can be booted on computers with UEFI and legacy BIOS firmware. + +### Configure Windows To Go startup options + +Windows To Go Startup Options is a setting available on Windows 10-based PCs that enables the computer to be booted from a USB without manually changing the firmware settings of the PC. To configure Windows To Go Startup Options you must have administrative rights on the computer and the **Windows To Go Default Startup Options** Group Policy setting must not be configured. + +**To configure Windows To Go startup options** + +1. On the Start screen, type, type **Windows To Go Startup Options**, click **Settings** and then press Enter. + + ![windows to go startup options](images/wtg-startup-options.gif) + +2. Select **Yes** to enable the startup options. + + **Tip**   + If your computer is part of a domain, the Group Policy setting can be used to enable the startup options instead of the dialog. + + + +3. Click **Save Changes**. If the User Account Control dialog box is displayed, confirm that the action it displays is what you want, and then click **Yes**. + +### Change firmware settings + +If you choose to not use the Windows To Go startup options or are using a PC running Windows 7 as your host computer you will need to manually configure the firmware settings. The process used to accomplish this will depend on the firmware type and manufacturer. If your host computer is protected by BitLocker and running Windows 7 you should suspend BitLocker before making the change to the firmware settings. After the firmware settings have been successfully reconfigured, resume BitLocker protection. If you do not suspend BitLocker first, BitLocker will assume that the computer has been tampered with and will boot into BitLocker recovery mode. + +## Related topics + + +[Windows To Go: feature overview](windows-to-go-overview.md) + +[Prepare your organization for Windows To Go](prepare-your-organization-for-windows-to-go.md) + +[Security and data protection considerations for Windows To Go](security-and-data-protection-considerations-for-windows-to-go.md) + +[Windows To Go: frequently asked questions](windows-to-go-frequently-asked-questions.md) + + + + + + + + + diff --git a/windows/deployment/planning/enabling-and-disabling-compatibility-fixes-in-compatibility-administrator.md b/windows/deployment/planning/enabling-and-disabling-compatibility-fixes-in-compatibility-administrator.md index efa2cac236..e06c1c3f42 100644 --- a/windows/deployment/planning/enabling-and-disabling-compatibility-fixes-in-compatibility-administrator.md +++ b/windows/deployment/planning/enabling-and-disabling-compatibility-fixes-in-compatibility-administrator.md @@ -1,68 +1,69 @@ ---- -title: Enabling and Disabling Compatibility Fixes in Compatibility Administrator (Windows 10) -description: You can disable and enable individual compatibility fixes in your customized databases for testing and troubleshooting purposes. -ms.assetid: 6bd4a7c5-0ed9-4a35-948c-c438aa4d6cb6 -ms.reviewer: -manager: laurawi -ms.author: greglin -ms.prod: w10 -ms.mktglfcycl: plan -ms.pagetype: appcompat -ms.sitesec: library -audience: itpro author: greg-lindsay -ms.date: 04/19/2017 -ms.topic: article ---- - -# Enabling and Disabling Compatibility Fixes in Compatibility Administrator - - -**Applies to** - -- Windows 10 -- Windows 8.1 -- Windows 8 -- Windows 7 -- Windows Server 2012 -- Windows Server 2008 R2 - -You can disable and enable individual compatibility fixes in your customized databases for testing and troubleshooting purposes. - -## Disabling Compatibility Fixes - - -Customized compatibility databases can become quite complex as you add your fixes for the multiple applications found in your organization.

It provides answers to the “what”, “why”, and “when” questions an IT professional might have when planning to deploy Windows To Go. - -## What is Windows To Go? - - -Windows To Go is a feature of Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows 10 Education that enables users to boot Windows from a USB-connected external drive. Windows To Go drives can use the same image that enterprises use for their desktops and laptops, and can be managed the same way. Offering a new mobility option, a Windows To Go workspace is not intended to replace desktops or laptops, or supplant other mobility offerings. - -Enterprise customers utilizing Volume Activation Windows licensing will be able to deploy USB drives provisioned with Windows To Go workspace. These drives will be bootable on multiple compatible host computers. Compatible host computers are computers that are: - -- USB boot capable -- Have USB boot enabled in the firmware -- Meet Windows 7 minimum system requirements -- Have compatible processor architectures (for example, x86 or AMD64) as the image used to create the Windows To Go workspace. ARM is not a supported processor for Windows To Go. -- Have firmware architecture that is compatible with the architecture of the image used for the Windows To Go workspace - -Booting a Windows To Go workspace requires no specific software on the host computer. PCs certified for Windows 7 and later can host Windows To Go. - -The following topics will familiarize you with how you can use a Windows To Go workspace and give you an overview of some of the things you should consider in your design. - -## Usage scenarios - - -The following scenarios are examples of situations in which Windows To Go workspaces provide a solution for an IT implementer: - -- **Continuance of operations (COO).** In this scenario, selected employees receive a USB drive with a Windows To Go workspace, which includes all of the applications that the employees use at work. The employees can keep the device at home, in a briefcase, or wherever they want to store it until needed. When the users boot their home computer from the USB drive, it will create a corporate desktop experience so that they can quickly start working. On the very first boot, the employee sees that Windows is installing devices; after that one time, the Windows To Go drive boots like a normal computer. If they have enterprise network access, employees can use a virtual private network (VPN) connection or DirectAccess to access corporate resources. If the enterprise network is available, the Windows To Go workspace will automatically be updated using your standard client management processes. - -- **Contractors and temporary workers.** In this situation, an enterprise IT pro or manager would distribute the Windows To Go drive directly to the worker where they can be assisted with any necessary additional user education needs or address any possible compatibility issues. While the worker is on assignment, they can boot their computer exclusively from the Windows To Go drive and run all applications in that environment until the end of the assignment when the device is returned. No installation of software is required on the worker’s personal computer. - -- **Managed free seating.** The employee is issued a Windows To Go drive that is then used with the host computer assigned to that employee for a given session (this could be a vehicle, workspace, or standalone laptop). When the employee leaves the session, the next time they return they use the same USB flash drive but use a different host computer. - -- **Work from home.** In this situation, the Windows To Go drive can be provisioned for employees using various methods including System Center Configuration Manager or other deployment tools and then distributed to employees. The employee is instructed to boot the Windows To Go drive initially at work, which caches the employee’s credentials on the Windows To Go workspace and allows the initial data synchronization between the enterprise network and the Windows To Go workspace. The user can then bring the Windows To Go drive home where it can be used with their home computer, with or without enterprise network connectivity. - -- **Travel lightly.** In this situation you have employees who are moving from site to site, but who always will have access to a compatible host computer on site. Using Windows To Go workspaces allows them to travel without the need to pack their PC. - -**Note**   -If the employee wants to work offline for the majority of the time, but still maintain the ability to use the drive on the enterprise network, they should be informed of how often the Windows To Go workspace needs to be connected to the enterprise network. Doing so will ensure that the drive retains its access privileges and the workspace’s computer object is not potentially deleted from Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). - - - -## Infrastructure considerations - - -Because Windows To Go requires no additional software and minimal configuration, the same tools used to deploy images to other PCs can be used by an enterprise to install Windows To Go on a large group of USB devices. Moreover, because Windows To Go is compatible with connectivity and synchronization solutions already in use—such as Remote Desktop, DirectAccess and Folder Redirection—no additional infrastructure or management is necessary for this deployment. A Windows To Go image can be created on a USB drive that is identical to the hard drive inside a desktop. However, you may wish to consider making some modifications to your infrastructure to help make management of Windows To Go drives easier and to be able to identify them as a distinct device group. - -## Activation considerations - - -Windows To Go uses volume activation. You can use either Active Directory-based activation or KMS activation with Windows To Go. The Windows To Go workspace counts as another installation when assessing compliance with application licensing agreements. - -Microsoft software, such as Microsoft Office, distributed to a Windows To Go workspace must also be activated. Office deployment is fully supported on Windows To Go. Please note, due to the retail subscription activation method associated with Office 365 ProPlus, Office 365 ProPlus subscribers are provided volume licensing activation rights for Office Professional Plus 2013 MSI for local installation on the Windows To Go drive. This is available to organizations who purchase Office 365 ProPlus or Office 365 Enterprise SKUs containing Office 365 ProPlus via volume licensing channels. For more information about activating Microsoft Office, see [Volume activation methods in Office 2013](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=618922). - -You should investigate other software manufacturer’s licensing requirements to ensure they are compatible with roaming usage before deploying them to a Windows To Go workspace. - -**Note**   -Using Multiple Activation Key (MAK) activation is not a supported activation method for Windows To Go as each different PC-host would require separate activation. MAK activation should not be used for activating Windows, Office, or any other application on a Windows To Go drive. - - - -See [Plan for Volume Activation](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=618923) for more information about these activation methods and how they can be used in your organization. - -## Organizational unit structure and use of Group Policy Objects - - -You may find it beneficial to create additional Active Directory organizational unit (OU) structures to support your Windows To Go deployment; one for host computer accounts and one for Windows To Go workspace computer accounts. Creating an organizational unit for host computers allows you to enable the Windows To Go Startup Options using Group Policy for only the computers that will be used as Windows To Go hosts. Setting this policy helps to prevent computers from being accidentally configured to automatically boot from USB devices and allows closer monitoring and control of those computers which have the ability to boot from a USB device. The organizational unit for Windows To Go workspaces allows you to apply specific policy controls to them, such as the ability to use the Store application, power state controls, and line-of-business application installation. - -If you are deploying Windows To Go workspaces for a scenario in which they are not going to be roaming, but are instead being used on the same host computer, such as with temporary or contract employees, you might wish to enable hibernation or the Windows Store. - -For more information about Group Policy settings that can be used with Windows To Go, see [Deployment considerations for Windows To Go](deployment-considerations-for-windows-to-go.md) - -## Computer account management - - -If you configure Windows To Go drives for scenarios where drives may remain unused for extended period of time such as use in continuance of operations scenarios, the AD DS computer account objects that correspond to Windows To Go drives have the potential to become stale and be pruned during maintenance operations. To address this issue, you should either have users log on regularly according to a schedule or modify any maintenance scripts to not clean up computer accounts in the Windows To Go device organizational unit. - -## User account and data management - - -People use computers to work with data and consume content - that is their core function. The data must be stored and retrievable for it to be useful. When users are working in a Windows To Go workspace, they need to have the ability to get to the data that they work with and to keep it accessible when the workspace is not being used. For this reason we recommend that you use folder redirection and offline files to redirect the path of local folders (such as the Documents folder) to a network location, while caching the contents locally for increased speed and availability. We also recommend that you use roaming user profiles to synchronize user specific settings so that users receive the same operating system and application settings when using their Windows To Go workspace and their desktop computer. When a user signs in using a domain account that is set up with a file share as the profile path, the user’s profile is downloaded to the local computer and merged with the local profile (if present). When the user logs off the computer, the local copy of their profile, including any changes, is merged with the server copy of the profile. For more information, see [Folder Redirection, Offline Files, and Roaming User Profiles overview](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=618924). - -Windows To Go is fully integrated with your Microsoft account. Setting synchronization is accomplished by connecting a Microsoft account to a user account. Windows To Go devices fully support this feature and can be managed by Group Policy so that the customization and configurations you prefer will be applied to your Windows To Go workspace. - -## Remote connectivity - - -If you want Windows To Go to be able to connect back to organizational resources when it is being used off-premises a remote connectivity solution must be enabled. Windows Server 2012 DirectAccess can be used as can a virtual private network (VPN) solution.

It also requires a specific type of USB that is no longer supported by many OEMs. + +The following information is provided to help you plan and design a new deployment of a Windows To Go in your production environment. It provides answers to the “what”, “why”, and “when” questions an IT professional might have when planning to deploy Windows To Go. + +## What is Windows To Go? + + +Windows To Go is a feature of Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows 10 Education that enables users to boot Windows from a USB-connected external drive. Windows To Go drives can use the same image that enterprises use for their desktops and laptops, and can be managed the same way. Offering a new mobility option, a Windows To Go workspace is not intended to replace desktops or laptops, or supplant other mobility offerings. + +Enterprise customers utilizing Volume Activation Windows licensing will be able to deploy USB drives provisioned with Windows To Go workspace. These drives will be bootable on multiple compatible host computers. Compatible host computers are computers that are: + +- USB boot capable +- Have USB boot enabled in the firmware +- Meet Windows 7 minimum system requirements +- Have compatible processor architectures (for example, x86 or AMD64) as the image used to create the Windows To Go workspace. ARM is not a supported processor for Windows To Go. +- Have firmware architecture that is compatible with the architecture of the image used for the Windows To Go workspace + +Booting a Windows To Go workspace requires no specific software on the host computer. PCs certified for Windows 7 and later can host Windows To Go. + +The following topics will familiarize you with how you can use a Windows To Go workspace and give you an overview of some of the things you should consider in your design. + +## Usage scenarios + + +The following scenarios are examples of situations in which Windows To Go workspaces provide a solution for an IT implementer: + +- **Continuance of operations (COO).** In this scenario, selected employees receive a USB drive with a Windows To Go workspace, which includes all of the applications that the employees use at work. The employees can keep the device at home, in a briefcase, or wherever they want to store it until needed. When the users boot their home computer from the USB drive, it will create a corporate desktop experience so that they can quickly start working. On the very first boot, the employee sees that Windows is installing devices; after that one time, the Windows To Go drive boots like a normal computer. If they have enterprise network access, employees can use a virtual private network (VPN) connection or DirectAccess to access corporate resources. If the enterprise network is available, the Windows To Go workspace will automatically be updated using your standard client management processes. + +- **Contractors and temporary workers.** In this situation, an enterprise IT pro or manager would distribute the Windows To Go drive directly to the worker where they can be assisted with any necessary additional user education needs or address any possible compatibility issues. While the worker is on assignment, they can boot their computer exclusively from the Windows To Go drive and run all applications in that environment until the end of the assignment when the device is returned. No installation of software is required on the worker’s personal computer. + +- **Managed free seating.** The employee is issued a Windows To Go drive that is then used with the host computer assigned to that employee for a given session (this could be a vehicle, workspace, or standalone laptop). When the employee leaves the session, the next time they return they use the same USB flash drive but use a different host computer. + +- **Work from home.** In this situation, the Windows To Go drive can be provisioned for employees using various methods including System Center Configuration Manager or other deployment tools and then distributed to employees. The employee is instructed to boot the Windows To Go drive initially at work, which caches the employee’s credentials on the Windows To Go workspace and allows the initial data synchronization between the enterprise network and the Windows To Go workspace. The user can then bring the Windows To Go drive home where it can be used with their home computer, with or without enterprise network connectivity. + +- **Travel lightly.** In this situation you have employees who are moving from site to site, but who always will have access to a compatible host computer on site. Using Windows To Go workspaces allows them to travel without the need to pack their PC. + +> [!NOTE] +> If the employee wants to work offline for the majority of the time, but still maintain the ability to use the drive on the enterprise network, they should be informed of how often the Windows To Go workspace needs to be connected to the enterprise network. Doing so will ensure that the drive retains its access privileges and the workspace’s computer object is not potentially deleted from Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). + + + +## Infrastructure considerations + + +Because Windows To Go requires no additional software and minimal configuration, the same tools used to deploy images to other PCs can be used by an enterprise to install Windows To Go on a large group of USB devices. Moreover, because Windows To Go is compatible with connectivity and synchronization solutions already in use—such as Remote Desktop, DirectAccess and Folder Redirection—no additional infrastructure or management is necessary for this deployment. A Windows To Go image can be created on a USB drive that is identical to the hard drive inside a desktop. However, you may wish to consider making some modifications to your infrastructure to help make management of Windows To Go drives easier and to be able to identify them as a distinct device group. + +## Activation considerations + + +Windows To Go uses volume activation. You can use either Active Directory-based activation or KMS activation with Windows To Go. The Windows To Go workspace counts as another installation when assessing compliance with application licensing agreements. + +Microsoft software, such as Microsoft Office, distributed to a Windows To Go workspace must also be activated. Office deployment is fully supported on Windows To Go. Please note, due to the retail subscription activation method associated with Office 365 ProPlus, Office 365 ProPlus subscribers are provided volume licensing activation rights for Office Professional Plus 2013 MSI for local installation on the Windows To Go drive. This is available to organizations who purchase Office 365 ProPlus or Office 365 Enterprise SKUs containing Office 365 ProPlus via volume licensing channels. For more information about activating Microsoft Office, see [Volume activation methods in Office 2013](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=618922). + +You should investigate other software manufacturer’s licensing requirements to ensure they are compatible with roaming usage before deploying them to a Windows To Go workspace. + +> [!NOTE] +> Using Multiple Activation Key (MAK) activation is not a supported activation method for Windows To Go as each different PC-host would require separate activation. MAK activation should not be used for activating Windows, Office, or any other application on a Windows To Go drive. + + + +See [Plan for Volume Activation](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=618923) for more information about these activation methods and how they can be used in your organization. + +## Organizational unit structure and use of Group Policy Objects + + +You may find it beneficial to create additional Active Directory organizational unit (OU) structures to support your Windows To Go deployment; one for host computer accounts and one for Windows To Go workspace computer accounts. Creating an organizational unit for host computers allows you to enable the Windows To Go Startup Options using Group Policy for only the computers that will be used as Windows To Go hosts. Setting this policy helps to prevent computers from being accidentally configured to automatically boot from USB devices and allows closer monitoring and control of those computers which have the ability to boot from a USB device. The organizational unit for Windows To Go workspaces allows you to apply specific policy controls to them, such as the ability to use the Store application, power state controls, and line-of-business application installation. + +If you are deploying Windows To Go workspaces for a scenario in which they are not going to be roaming, but are instead being used on the same host computer, such as with temporary or contract employees, you might wish to enable hibernation or the Windows Store. + +For more information about Group Policy settings that can be used with Windows To Go, see [Deployment considerations for Windows To Go](deployment-considerations-for-windows-to-go.md) + +## Computer account management + + +If you configure Windows To Go drives for scenarios where drives may remain unused for extended period of time such as use in continuance of operations scenarios, the AD DS computer account objects that correspond to Windows To Go drives have the potential to become stale and be pruned during maintenance operations. To address this issue, you should either have users log on regularly according to a schedule or modify any maintenance scripts to not clean up computer accounts in the Windows To Go device organizational unit. + +## User account and data management + + +People use computers to work with data and consume content - that is their core function. The data must be stored and retrievable for it to be useful. When users are working in a Windows To Go workspace, they need to have the ability to get to the data that they work with and to keep it accessible when the workspace is not being used. For this reason we recommend that you use folder redirection and offline files to redirect the path of local folders (such as the Documents folder) to a network location, while caching the contents locally for increased speed and availability. We also recommend that you use roaming user profiles to synchronize user specific settings so that users receive the same operating system and application settings when using their Windows To Go workspace and their desktop computer. When a user signs in using a domain account that is set up with a file share as the profile path, the user’s profile is downloaded to the local computer and merged with the local profile (if present). When the user logs off the computer, the local copy of their profile, including any changes, is merged with the server copy of the profile. For more information, see [Folder Redirection, Offline Files, and Roaming User Profiles overview](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=618924). + +Windows To Go is fully integrated with your Microsoft account. Setting synchronization is accomplished by connecting a Microsoft account to a user account. Windows To Go devices fully support this feature and can be managed by Group Policy so that the customization and configurations you prefer will be applied to your Windows To Go workspace. + +## Remote connectivity + + +If you want Windows To Go to be able to connect back to organizational resources when it is being used off-premises a remote connectivity solution must be enabled. Windows Server 2012 DirectAccess can be used as can a virtual private network (VPN) solution. For more information about configuring a remote access solution, see the [Remote Access (DirectAccess, Routing and Remote Access) Overview](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=618925). + +## Related topics + + +[Windows To Go: feature overview](windows-to-go-overview.md) + +[Deployment considerations for Windows To Go](deployment-considerations-for-windows-to-go.md) + +[Security and data protection considerations for Windows To Go](security-and-data-protection-considerations-for-windows-to-go.md) + +[Windows To Go: frequently asked questions](windows-to-go-frequently-asked-questions.md) + + + + + + + + + diff --git a/windows/deployment/planning/searching-for-fixed-applications-in-compatibility-administrator.md b/windows/deployment/planning/searching-for-fixed-applications-in-compatibility-administrator.md index 66a530280c..955117dcd6 100644 --- a/windows/deployment/planning/searching-for-fixed-applications-in-compatibility-administrator.md +++ b/windows/deployment/planning/searching-for-fixed-applications-in-compatibility-administrator.md @@ -1,79 +1,79 @@ ---- -title: Searching for Fixed Applications in Compatibility Administrator (Windows 10) -description: With the search functionality in Compatibility Administrator, you can locate specific executable (.exe) files with previously applied compatibility fixes, compatibility modes, or AppHelp messages. -ms.assetid: 1051a2dc-0362-43a4-8ae8-07dae39b1cb8 -ms.reviewer: -manager: laurawi -ms.author: greglin -ms.prod: w10 -ms.mktglfcycl: plan -ms.pagetype: appcompat -ms.sitesec: library -audience: itpro author: greg-lindsay -ms.date: 04/19/2017 -ms.topic: article ---- - -# Searching for Fixed Applications in Compatibility Administrator - - -**Applies to** - -- Windows 10 -- Windows 8.1 -- Windows 8 -- Windows 7 -- Windows Server 2012 -- Windows Server 2008 R2 - -With the search functionality in Compatibility Administrator, you can locate specific executable (.exe) files with previously applied compatibility fixes, compatibility modes, or AppHelp messages.

It is just like a laptop hard drive with Windows 8 that has been put into a USB enclosure. - -## Who should use Windows To Go? - - -Windows To Go was designed for enterprise usage and targets scenarios such as continuance of operations, contractors, managed free seating, traveling workers, and work from home. - -## How can Windows To Go be deployed in an organization? - - -Windows To Go can be deployed using standard Windows deployment tools like Diskpart and DISM. The prerequisites for deploying Windows To Go are: - -- A Windows To Go recommended USB drive to provision; See the list of currently available USB drives at [Hardware considerations for Windows To Go](windows-to-go-overview.md#wtg-hardware) - -- A Windows 10 Enterprise or Windows 10 Education image - -- A Windows 10 Enterprise, Windows 10 Education or Windows 10 Professional host PC that can be used to provision new USB keys - -You can use a Windows PowerShell script to target several drives and scale your deployment for a large number of Windows To Go drives. You can also use a USB duplicator to duplicate a Windows To Go drive after it has been provisioned if you are creating a large number of drives. See the [Windows To Go Step by Step](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=618950) article on the TechNet wiki for a walkthrough of the drive creation process. - -## Is Windows To Go supported on both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 drives? - - -No. Windows To Go is supported on USB 3.0 drives that are certified for Windows To Go. - -## Is Windows To Go supported on USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports? - - -Yes. Windows To Go is fully supported on either USB 2.0 ports or USB 3.0 ports on PCs certified for Windows 7 or later. - -## How do I identify a USB 3.0 port? - - -USB 3.0 ports are usually marked blue or carry a SS marking on the side. - -## Does Windows To Go run faster on a USB 3.0 port? - - -Yes. Because USB 3.0 offers significantly faster speeds than USB 2.0, a Windows To Go drive running on a USB 3.0 port will operate considerably faster. This speed increase applies to both drive provisioning and when the drive is being used as a workspace. - -## Can the user self-provision Windows To Go? - - -Yes, if the user has administrator permissions they can self-provision a Windows To Go drive using the Windows To Go Creator wizard which is included in Windows 10 Enterprise, Windows 10 Education and Windows 10 Professional. Additionally, System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SP1 and later releases includes support for user self-provisioning of Windows To Go drives. Configuration Manager can be downloaded for evaluation from the [Microsoft TechNet Evaluation Center](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=618746). - -## How can Windows To Go be managed in an organization? - - -Windows To Go can be deployed and managed like a traditional desktop PC using standard Windows enterprise software distribution tools like System Center Configuration Manager. Computer and user settings for Windows To Go workspaces can be managed using Group Policy setting also in the same manner that you manage Group Policy settings for other PCs in your organization. Windows To Go workspaces can be configured to connect to the organizational resources remotely using DirectAccess or a virtual private network connection so that they can connect securely to your network. - -## How do I make my computer boot from USB? - - -For host computers running Windows 10 - -- Using Cortana, search for **Windows To Go startup options**, and then press Enter. -- In the **Windows To Go Startup Options** dialog box, select **Yes**, and then click **Save Changes** to configure the computer to boot from USB. - -For host computers running Windows 8 or Windows 8.1: - -Press **Windows logo key+W** and then search for **Windows To Go startup options** and then press Enter. - -In the **Windows To Go Startup Options** dialog box select **Yes** and then click **Save Changes** to configure the computer to boot from USB. - -**Note**   -Your IT department can use Group Policy to configure Windows To Go Startup Options in your organization. - - - -If the host computer is running an earlier version of the Windows operating system need to configure the computer to boot from USB manually. - -To do this, early during boot time (usually when you see the manufacturer’s logo), enter your firmware/BIOS setup. (This method to enter firmware/BIOS setup differs with different computer manufacturers, but is usually entered by pressing one of the function keys, such as F12, F2, F1, Esc, and so forth. You should check the manufacturer’s site to be sure if you do not know which key to use to enter firmware setup.) - -After you have entered firmware setup, make sure that boot from USB is enabled. Then change the boot order to boot from USB drives first. - -Alternatively, if your computer supports it, you can try to use the one-time boot menu (often F12), to select USB boot on a per-boot basis. - -For more detailed instructions, see the wiki article, [Tips for configuring your BIOS settings to work with Windows To Go](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=618951). - -**Warning**   -Configuring a computer to boot from USB will cause your computer to attempt to boot from any bootable USB device connected to your computer. This potentially includes malicious devices. Users should be informed of this risk and instructed to not have any bootable USB storage devices plugged in to their computers except for their Windows To Go drive. - - - -## Why isn’t my computer booting from USB? - - -Computers certified for Windows 7 and later are required to have support for USB boot. Check to see if any of the following items apply to your situation: - -1. Ensure that your computer has the latest BIOS installed and the BIOS is configured to boot from a USB device. - -2. Ensure that the Windows To Go drive is connected directly to a USB port on the computer. Many computers don’t support booting from a device connected to a USB 3 PCI add-on card or external USB hubs. - -3. If the computer is not booting from a USB 3.0 port, try to boot from a USB 2.0 port. - -If none of these items enable the computer to boot from USB, contact the hardware manufacturer for additional support. - -## What happens if I remove my Windows To Go drive while it is running? - - -If the Windows To Go drive is removed, the computer will freeze and the user will have 60 seconds to reinsert the Windows To Go drive. If the Windows To Go drive is reinserted into the same port it was removed from, Windows will resume at the point where the drive was removed. If the USB drive is not reinserted, or is reinserted into a different port, the host computer will turn off after 60 seconds. - -**Warning**   -You should never remove your Windows To Go drive when your workspace is running. The computer freeze is a safety measure to help mitigate the risk of accidental removal. Removing the Windows To Go drive without shutting down the Windows To Go workspace could result in corruption of the Windows To Go drive. - - - -## Can I use BitLocker to protect my Windows To Go drive? - - -Yes. In Windows 8 and later, BitLocker has added support for using a password to protect operating system drives. This means that you can use a password to secure your Windows To Go workspace and you will be prompted to enter this password every time you use the Windows To Go workspace. - -## Why can’t I enable BitLocker from Windows To Go Creator? - - -Several different Group Policies control the use of BitLocker on your organizations computers. These policies are located in the **Computer Configuration\\Policies\\Administrative Templates\\Windows Components\\BitLocker Drive Encryption** folder of the local Group Policy editor. The folder contains three sub-folders for fixed, operating system and removable data drive types. - -When you are using Windows To Go Creator, the Windows To Go drive is considered a removable data drive by BitLocker. Review the following setting to see if these settings apply in your situation: - -1. **Control use of BitLocker on removable drives** - - If this setting is disabled BitLocker cannot be used with removable drives, so the Windows To Go Creator wizard will fail if it attempts to enable BitLocker on the Windows To Go drive. - -2. **Configure use of smart cards on removable data drives** - - If this setting is enabled and the option **Require use of smart cards on removable data drives** is also selected the creator wizard might fail if you have not already signed on using your smart card credentials before starting the Windows To Go Creator wizard. - -3. **Configure use of passwords for removable data drives** - - If this setting is enabled and the **Require password complexity option** is selected the computer must be able to connect to the domain controller to verify that the password specified meets the password complexity requirements. If the connection is not available, the Windows To Go Creator wizard will fail to enable BitLocker. - -Additionally, the Windows To Go Creator will disable the BitLocker option if the drive does not have any volumes. In this situation, you should initialize the drive and create a volume using the Disk Management console before provisioning the drive with Windows To Go. - -## What power states does Windows To Go support? - - -Windows To Go supports all power states except the hibernate class of power states, which include hybrid boot, hybrid sleep, and hibernate. This default behavior can be modified by using Group Policy settings to enable hibernation of the Windows To Go workspace. - -## Why is hibernation disabled in Windows To Go? - - -When a Windows To Go workspace is hibernated, it will only successfully resume on the exact same hardware. Therefore, if a Windows To Go workspace is hibernated on one computer and roamed to another, the hibernation state (and therefore user state) will be lost. To prevent this from happening, the default settings for a Windows To Go workspace disable hibernation. If you are confident that you will only attempt to resume on the same computer, you can enable hibernation using the Windows To Go Group Policy setting, **Allow hibernate (S4) when started from a Windows To Go workspace** that is located at **\\\\Computer Configuration\\Administrative Templates\\Windows Components\\Portable Operating System\\** in the Local Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc). - -## Does Windows To Go support crash dump analysis? - - -Yes. Windows 8 and later support crash dump stack analysis for both USB 2.0 and 3.0. - -## Do “Windows To Go Startup Options” work with dual boot computers? - - -Yes, if both operating systems are running the Windows 8 operating system. Enabling “Windows To Go Startup Options” should cause the computer to boot from the Windows To Go workspace when the drive is plugged in before the computer is turned on. - -If you have configured a dual boot computer with a Windows operating system and another operating system it might work occasionally and fail occasionally. Using this configuration is unsupported. - -## I plugged my Windows To Go drive into a running computer and I can’t see the partitions on the drive. Why not? - - -Windows To Go Creator and the recommended deployment steps for Windows To Go set the NO\_DEFAULT\_DRIVE\_LETTER flag on the Windows To Go drive. This flag prevents Windows from automatically assigning drive letters to the partitions on the Windows To Go drive. That’s why you can’t see the partitions on the drive when you plug your Windows To Go drive into a running computer. This helps prevent accidental data leakage between the Windows To Go drive and the host computer. If you really need to access the files on the Windows To Go drive from a running computer, you can use diskmgmt.msc or diskpart to assign a drive letter. - -**Warning**   -It is strongly recommended that you do not plug your Windows To Go drive into a running computer. If the computer is compromised, your Windows To Go workspace can also be compromised. - - - -## I’m booted into Windows To Go, but I can’t browse to the internal hard drive of the host computer. Why not? - - -Windows To Go Creator and the recommended deployment steps for Windows To Go set SAN Policy 4 on Windows To Go drive. This policy prevents Windows from automatically mounting internal disk drives. That’s why you can’t see the internal hard drives of the host computer when you are booted into Windows To Go. This is done to prevent accidental data leakage between Windows To Go and the host system. This policy also prevents potential corruption on the host drives or data loss if the host operating system is in a hibernation state. If you really need to access the files on the internal hard drive, you can use diskmgmt.msc to mount the internal drive. - -**Warning**   -It is strongly recommended that you do not mount internal hard drives when booted into the Windows To Go workspace. If the internal drive contains a hibernated Windows 8 or later operating system, mounting the drive will lead to loss of hibernation state and therefor user state or any unsaved user data when the host operating system is booted. If the internal drive contains a hibernated Windows 7 or earlier operating system, mounting the drive will lead to corruption when the host operating system is booted. - - - -## Why does my Windows To Go drive have an MBR disk format with a FAT32 system partition? - - -This is done to allow Windows To Go to boot from UEFI and legacy systems. - -## Is Windows To Go secure if I use it on an untrusted computer? - - -While you are more secure than if you use a completely untrusted operating system, you are still vulnerable to attacks from the firmware or anything that runs before Windows To Go starts. If you plug your Windows To Go drive into a running untrusted computer, your Windows To Go drive can be compromised because any malicious software that might be active on the computer can access the drive. - -## Does Windows To Go work with ARM processors? - - -No. Windows RT is a specialized version of Windows designed for ARM processors. Windows To Go is currently only supported on PCs with x86 or x64-based processors. - -## Can I synchronize data from Windows To Go with my other computer? - - -To get your data across all your computers, we recommend using folder redirection and client side caching to store copies of your data on a server while giving you offline access to the files you need. - -## What size USB flash drive do I need to make a Windows To Go drive? - - -The size constraints are the same as full Windows. To ensure that you have enough space for Windows, your data, and your applications, we recommend USB drives that are a minimum of 20 GB in size. - -## Do I need to activate Windows To Go every time I roam? - - -No, Windows To Go requires volume activation; either using the [Key Management Service](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=619051) (KMS) server in your organization or using [Active Directory](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=619053) based volume activation. The Windows To Go workspace will not need to be reactivated every time you roam. KMS activates Windows on a local network, eliminating the need for individual computers to connect to Microsoft. To remain activated, KMS client computers must renew their activation by connecting to the KMS host on periodic basis. This typically occurs as soon as the user has access to the corporate network (either through a direct connection on-premises or a through remote connection using DirectAccess or a virtual private network connection), once activated the machine will not need to be activated again until the activation validity interval has passed. In a KMS configuration the activation validity interval is 180 days. - -## Can I use all Windows features on Windows To Go? - - -Yes, with some minor exceptions, you can use all Windows features with your Windows To Go workspace. The only currently unsupported features are using the Windows Recovery Environment and PC Reset & Refresh. - -## Can I use all my applications on Windows To Go? - - -Yes. Because your Windows To Go workspace is a full Windows 10 environment, all applications that work with Windows 10 should work in your Windows To Go workspace. However, any applications that use hardware binding (usually for licensing and/or digital rights management reasons) may not run when you roam your Windows To Go drive between different host computers, and you may have to use those applications on the same host computer every time. - -## Does Windows To Go work slower than standard Windows? - - -If you are using a USB 3.0 port and a Windows To Go certified device, there should be no perceivable difference between standard Windows and Windows To Go. However, if you are booting from a USB 2.0 port, you may notice some slowdown since USB 2.0 transfer speeds are slower than SATA speeds. - -## If I lose my Windows To Go drive, will my data be safe? - - -Yes! If you enable BitLocker on your Windows To Go drive, all your data will be encrypted and protected and a malicious user will not be able to access your data without your password. If you don’t enable BitLocker, your data will be vulnerable if you lose your Windows To Go drive. - -## Can I boot Windows To Go on a Mac? - - -We are committed to give customers a consistent and quality Windows 10 experience with Windows To Go. Windows To Go supports host devices certified for use with Windows 7 or later. Because Mac computers are not certified for use with Windows 7 or later, using Windows To Go is not supported on a Mac. - -## Are there any APIs that allow applications to identify a Windows To Go workspace? - - -Yes. You can use a combination of identifiers to determine if the currently running operating system is a Windows To Go workspace. First, check if the **PortableOperatingSystem** property is true. When that value is true it means that the operating system was booted from an external USB device. - -Next, check if the **OperatingSystemSKU** property is equal to **4** (for Windows 10 Enterprise) or **121** (for Windows 10 Education). The combination of those two properties represents a Windows To Go workspace environment. - -For more information, see the MSDN article on the [Win32\_OperatingSystem class](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=619059). - -## How is Windows To Go licensed? - - -Windows To Go allows organization to support the use of privately owned PCs at the home or office with more secure access to their organizational resources. With Windows To Go use rights under [Software Assurance](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=619062), an employee will be able to use Windows To Go on any company PC licensed with Software Assurance as well as from their home PC. - -## Does Windows Recovery Environment work with Windows To Go? What’s the guidance for recovering a Windows To Go drive? - - -No, use of Windows Recovery Environment is not supported on Windows To Go. It is recommended that you implement user state virtualization technologies like Folder Redirection to centralize and back up user data in the data center. If any corruption occurs on a Windows To Go drive, you should re-provision the workspace. - -## Why won’t Windows To Go work on a computer running Windows XP or Windows Vista? - - -Actually it might. If you have purchased a computer certified for Windows 7 or later and then installed an older operating system, Windows To Go will boot and run as expected as long as you have configured the firmware to boot from USB. However, if the computer was certified for Windows XP or Windows Vista, it might not meet the hardware requirements for Windows To Go to run. Typically computers certified for Windows Vista and earlier operating systems have less memory, less processing power, reduced video rendering, and slower USB ports. - -## Why does the operating system on the host computer matter? - - -It doesn’t other than to help visually identify if the PC has compatible hardware. For a PC to be certified for Windows 7 or later it had to support booting from USB. If a computer cannot boot from USB there is no way that it can be used with Windows To Go. The Windows To Go workspace is a full Windows 10 environment, so all of the hardware requirements of Windows 10 with respect to processing speed, memory usage, and graphics rendering need to be supported to be assured that it will work as expected. - -## My host computer running Windows 7 is protected by BitLocker Drive Encryption. Why did I need to use the recovery key to unlock and reboot my host computer after using Windows To Go? - - -The default BitLocker protection profile in Windows 7 monitors the host computer for changes to the boot order as part of protecting the computer from tampering. When you change the boot order of the host computer to enable it to boot from the Windows To Go drive, the BitLocker system measurements will reflect that change and boot into recovery mode so that the computer can be inspected if necessary. - -You can reset the BitLocker system measurements to incorporate the new boot order using the following steps: - -1. Log on to the host computer using an account with administrator privileges. - -2. Click **Start**, click **Control Panel**, click **System and Security**, and then click **BitLocker Drive Encryption**. - -3. Click **Suspend Protection** for the operating system drive. - - A message is displayed, informing you that your data will not be protected while BitLocker is suspended and asking if you want to suspend BitLocker Drive Encryption. Click **Yes** to continue and suspend BitLocker on the drive. - -4. Restart the computer and enter the firmware settings to reset the boot order to boot from USB first. For more information on changing the boot order in the BIOS, see [Tips for configuring your BIOS settings to work with Windows To Go](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=618951) on the TechNet wiki. - -5. Restart the computer again and then log on to the host computer using an account with administrator privileges. (Neither your Windows To Go drive nor any other USB drive should be inserted.) - -6. Click **Start**, click **Control Panel**, click **System and Security**, and then click **BitLocker Drive Encryption**. - -7. Click **Resume Protection** to re-enable BitLocker protection. - -The host computer will now be able to be booted from a USB drive without triggering recovery mode. - -**Note**   -The default BitLocker protection profile in Windows 8 or later does not monitor the boot order. - - - -## I decided to stop using a drive for Windows To Go and reformatted it – why doesn’t it have a drive letter assigned and how can I fix it? - - -Reformatting the drive erases the data on the drive, but doesn’t reconfigure the volume attributes. When a drive is provisioned for use as a Windows To Go drive the NODEFAULTDRIVELETTER attribute is set on the volume. To remove this attribute, use the following steps: - -1. Open a command prompt with full administrator permissions. - - **Note**   - If your user account is a member of the Administrators group, but is not the Administrator account itself, then, by default, the programs that you run only have standard user permissions unless you explicitly choose to elevate them. - - - -2. Start the [diskpart](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=619070) command interpreter, by typing `diskpart` at the command prompt. - -3. Use the `select disk` command to identify the drive. If you do not know the drive number, use the `list` command to display the list of disks available. - -4. After selecting the disk, run the `clean` command to remove all data, formatting, and initialization information from the drive. - -## Why do I keep on getting the message “Installing devices…” when I boot Windows To Go? - - -One of the challenges involved in moving the Windows To Go drive between PCs while seamlessly booting Windows with access to all of their applications and data is that for Windows to be fully functional, specific drivers need to be installed for the hardware in each machine that runs Windows. Windows 8 or later has a process called respecialize which will identify new drivers that need to be loaded for the new PC and disable drivers which are not present on the new configuration. In general this feature is reliable and efficient when roaming between PCs of widely varying hardware configurations. - -In certain cases, third party drivers for different hardware models or versions can reuse device ID’s, driver file names, registry keys (or any other operating system constructs which do not support side-by-side storage) for similar hardware. For example, Touchpad drivers on different laptops often reuse the same device ID’s, and video cards from the same manufacturer may often reuse service names. Windows handles these situations by marking the non-present device node with a flag that indicates the existing driver needs to be reinstalled before continuing to install the new driver. - -This process will occur on any boot that a new driver is found and a driver conflict is detected. In some cases that will result in a respecialize progress message “Installing devices…” displaying every time that a Windows to Go drive is roamed between two PCs which require conflicting drivers. - -## How do I upgrade the operating system on my Windows To Go drive? - - -There is no support in Windows for upgrading a Windows To Go drive. Deployed Windows To Go drives with older versions of Windows will need to be re-imaged with a new version of Windows in order to transition to the new operating system version. - -## Additional resources - - -- [Windows 10 forums](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=618949) - -- [Windows To Go Step by Step Wiki](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=618950) - -- [Windows To Go: feature overview](windows-to-go-overview.md) - -- [Prepare your organization for Windows To Go](prepare-your-organization-for-windows-to-go.md) - -- [Deployment considerations for Windows To Go](deployment-considerations-for-windows-to-go.md) - -- [Security and data protection considerations for Windows To Go](security-and-data-protection-considerations-for-windows-to-go.md) - - - - - - - - - +--- +title: Windows To Go frequently asked questions (Windows 10) +description: Windows To Go frequently asked questions +ms.assetid: bfdfb824-4a19-4401-b369-22c5e6ca9d6e +ms.reviewer: +manager: laurawi +ms.author: greglin +keywords: FAQ, mobile, device, USB +ms.prod: w10 +ms.mktglfcycl: deploy +ms.pagetype: mobility +ms.sitesec: library +audience: itpro +author: greg-lindsay +ms.topic: article +--- + +# Windows To Go: frequently asked questions + + +**Applies to** + +- Windows 10 + +>[!IMPORTANT] +>Windows To Go is no longer being developed.

It is just like a laptop hard drive with Windows 8 that has been put into a USB enclosure. + +## Who should use Windows To Go? + + +Windows To Go was designed for enterprise usage and targets scenarios such as continuance of operations, contractors, managed free seating, traveling workers, and work from home. + +## How can Windows To Go be deployed in an organization? + + +Windows To Go can be deployed using standard Windows deployment tools like Diskpart and DISM. The prerequisites for deploying Windows To Go are: + +- A Windows To Go recommended USB drive to provision; See the list of currently available USB drives at [Hardware considerations for Windows To Go](windows-to-go-overview.md#wtg-hardware) + +- A Windows 10 Enterprise or Windows 10 Education image + +- A Windows 10 Enterprise, Windows 10 Education or Windows 10 Professional host PC that can be used to provision new USB keys + +You can use a Windows PowerShell script to target several drives and scale your deployment for a large number of Windows To Go drives. You can also use a USB duplicator to duplicate a Windows To Go drive after it has been provisioned if you are creating a large number of drives. See the [Windows To Go Step by Step](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=618950) article on the TechNet wiki for a walkthrough of the drive creation process. + +## Is Windows To Go supported on both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 drives? + + +No. Windows To Go is supported on USB 3.0 drives that are certified for Windows To Go. + +## Is Windows To Go supported on USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports? + + +Yes. Windows To Go is fully supported on either USB 2.0 ports or USB 3.0 ports on PCs certified for Windows 7 or later. + +## How do I identify a USB 3.0 port? + + +USB 3.0 ports are usually marked blue or carry a SS marking on the side. + +## Does Windows To Go run faster on a USB 3.0 port? + + +Yes. Because USB 3.0 offers significantly faster speeds than USB 2.0, a Windows To Go drive running on a USB 3.0 port will operate considerably faster. This speed increase applies to both drive provisioning and when the drive is being used as a workspace. + +## Can the user self-provision Windows To Go? + + +Yes, if the user has administrator permissions they can self-provision a Windows To Go drive using the Windows To Go Creator wizard which is included in Windows 10 Enterprise, Windows 10 Education and Windows 10 Professional. Additionally, System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SP1 and later releases includes support for user self-provisioning of Windows To Go drives. Configuration Manager can be downloaded for evaluation from the [Microsoft TechNet Evaluation Center](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=618746). + +## How can Windows To Go be managed in an organization? + + +Windows To Go can be deployed and managed like a traditional desktop PC using standard Windows enterprise software distribution tools like System Center Configuration Manager. Computer and user settings for Windows To Go workspaces can be managed using Group Policy setting also in the same manner that you manage Group Policy settings for other PCs in your organization. Windows To Go workspaces can be configured to connect to the organizational resources remotely using DirectAccess or a virtual private network connection so that they can connect securely to your network. + +## How do I make my computer boot from USB? + + +For host computers running Windows 10 + +- Using Cortana, search for **Windows To Go startup options**, and then press Enter. +- In the **Windows To Go Startup Options** dialog box, select **Yes**, and then click **Save Changes** to configure the computer to boot from USB. + +For host computers running Windows 8 or Windows 8.1: + +Press **Windows logo key+W** and then search for **Windows To Go startup options** and then press Enter. + +In the **Windows To Go Startup Options** dialog box select **Yes** and then click **Save Changes** to configure the computer to boot from USB. + +> [!NOTE] +> Your IT department can use Group Policy to configure Windows To Go Startup Options in your organization. + + + +If the host computer is running an earlier version of the Windows operating system need to configure the computer to boot from USB manually. + +To do this, early during boot time (usually when you see the manufacturer’s logo), enter your firmware/BIOS setup. (This method to enter firmware/BIOS setup differs with different computer manufacturers, but is usually entered by pressing one of the function keys, such as F12, F2, F1, Esc, and so forth. You should check the manufacturer’s site to be sure if you do not know which key to use to enter firmware setup.) + +After you have entered firmware setup, make sure that boot from USB is enabled. Then change the boot order to boot from USB drives first. + +Alternatively, if your computer supports it, you can try to use the one-time boot menu (often F12), to select USB boot on a per-boot basis. + +For more detailed instructions, see the wiki article, [Tips for configuring your BIOS settings to work with Windows To Go](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=618951). + +**Warning**   +Configuring a computer to boot from USB will cause your computer to attempt to boot from any bootable USB device connected to your computer. This potentially includes malicious devices. Users should be informed of this risk and instructed to not have any bootable USB storage devices plugged in to their computers except for their Windows To Go drive. + + + +## Why isn’t my computer booting from USB? + + +Computers certified for Windows 7 and later are required to have support for USB boot. Check to see if any of the following items apply to your situation: + +1. Ensure that your computer has the latest BIOS installed and the BIOS is configured to boot from a USB device. + +2. Ensure that the Windows To Go drive is connected directly to a USB port on the computer. Many computers don’t support booting from a device connected to a USB 3 PCI add-on card or external USB hubs. + +3. If the computer is not booting from a USB 3.0 port, try to boot from a USB 2.0 port. + +If none of these items enable the computer to boot from USB, contact the hardware manufacturer for additional support. + +## What happens if I remove my Windows To Go drive while it is running? + + +If the Windows To Go drive is removed, the computer will freeze and the user will have 60 seconds to reinsert the Windows To Go drive. If the Windows To Go drive is reinserted into the same port it was removed from, Windows will resume at the point where the drive was removed. If the USB drive is not reinserted, or is reinserted into a different port, the host computer will turn off after 60 seconds. + +**Warning**   +You should never remove your Windows To Go drive when your workspace is running. The computer freeze is a safety measure to help mitigate the risk of accidental removal. Removing the Windows To Go drive without shutting down the Windows To Go workspace could result in corruption of the Windows To Go drive. + + + +## Can I use BitLocker to protect my Windows To Go drive? + + +Yes. In Windows 8 and later, BitLocker has added support for using a password to protect operating system drives. This means that you can use a password to secure your Windows To Go workspace and you will be prompted to enter this password every time you use the Windows To Go workspace. + +## Why can’t I enable BitLocker from Windows To Go Creator? + + +Several different Group Policies control the use of BitLocker on your organizations computers. These policies are located in the **Computer Configuration\\Policies\\Administrative Templates\\Windows Components\\BitLocker Drive Encryption** folder of the local Group Policy editor. The folder contains three sub-folders for fixed, operating system and removable data drive types. + +When you are using Windows To Go Creator, the Windows To Go drive is considered a removable data drive by BitLocker. Review the following setting to see if these settings apply in your situation: + +1. **Control use of BitLocker on removable drives** + + If this setting is disabled BitLocker cannot be used with removable drives, so the Windows To Go Creator wizard will fail if it attempts to enable BitLocker on the Windows To Go drive. + +2. **Configure use of smart cards on removable data drives** + + If this setting is enabled and the option **Require use of smart cards on removable data drives** is also selected the creator wizard might fail if you have not already signed on using your smart card credentials before starting the Windows To Go Creator wizard. + +3. **Configure use of passwords for removable data drives** + + If this setting is enabled and the **Require password complexity option** is selected the computer must be able to connect to the domain controller to verify that the password specified meets the password complexity requirements. If the connection is not available, the Windows To Go Creator wizard will fail to enable BitLocker. + +Additionally, the Windows To Go Creator will disable the BitLocker option if the drive does not have any volumes. In this situation, you should initialize the drive and create a volume using the Disk Management console before provisioning the drive with Windows To Go. + +## What power states does Windows To Go support? + + +Windows To Go supports all power states except the hibernate class of power states, which include hybrid boot, hybrid sleep, and hibernate. This default behavior can be modified by using Group Policy settings to enable hibernation of the Windows To Go workspace. + +## Why is hibernation disabled in Windows To Go? + + +When a Windows To Go workspace is hibernated, it will only successfully resume on the exact same hardware. Therefore, if a Windows To Go workspace is hibernated on one computer and roamed to another, the hibernation state (and therefore user state) will be lost. To prevent this from happening, the default settings for a Windows To Go workspace disable hibernation. If you are confident that you will only attempt to resume on the same computer, you can enable hibernation using the Windows To Go Group Policy setting, **Allow hibernate (S4) when started from a Windows To Go workspace** that is located at **\\\\Computer Configuration\\Administrative Templates\\Windows Components\\Portable Operating System\\** in the Local Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc). + +## Does Windows To Go support crash dump analysis? + + +Yes. Windows 8 and later support crash dump stack analysis for both USB 2.0 and 3.0. + +## Do “Windows To Go Startup Options” work with dual boot computers? + + +Yes, if both operating systems are running the Windows 8 operating system. Enabling “Windows To Go Startup Options” should cause the computer to boot from the Windows To Go workspace when the drive is plugged in before the computer is turned on. + +If you have configured a dual boot computer with a Windows operating system and another operating system it might work occasionally and fail occasionally. Using this configuration is unsupported. + +## I plugged my Windows To Go drive into a running computer and I can’t see the partitions on the drive. Why not? + + +Windows To Go Creator and the recommended deployment steps for Windows To Go set the NO\_DEFAULT\_DRIVE\_LETTER flag on the Windows To Go drive. This flag prevents Windows from automatically assigning drive letters to the partitions on the Windows To Go drive. That’s why you can’t see the partitions on the drive when you plug your Windows To Go drive into a running computer. This helps prevent accidental data leakage between the Windows To Go drive and the host computer. If you really need to access the files on the Windows To Go drive from a running computer, you can use diskmgmt.msc or diskpart to assign a drive letter. + +**Warning**   +It is strongly recommended that you do not plug your Windows To Go drive into a running computer. If the computer is compromised, your Windows To Go workspace can also be compromised. + + + +## I’m booted into Windows To Go, but I can’t browse to the internal hard drive of the host computer. Why not? + + +Windows To Go Creator and the recommended deployment steps for Windows To Go set SAN Policy 4 on Windows To Go drive. This policy prevents Windows from automatically mounting internal disk drives. That’s why you can’t see the internal hard drives of the host computer when you are booted into Windows To Go. This is done to prevent accidental data leakage between Windows To Go and the host system. This policy also prevents potential corruption on the host drives or data loss if the host operating system is in a hibernation state. If you really need to access the files on the internal hard drive, you can use diskmgmt.msc to mount the internal drive. + +**Warning**   +It is strongly recommended that you do not mount internal hard drives when booted into the Windows To Go workspace. If the internal drive contains a hibernated Windows 8 or later operating system, mounting the drive will lead to loss of hibernation state and therefor user state or any unsaved user data when the host operating system is booted. If the internal drive contains a hibernated Windows 7 or earlier operating system, mounting the drive will lead to corruption when the host operating system is booted. + + + +## Why does my Windows To Go drive have an MBR disk format with a FAT32 system partition? + + +This is done to allow Windows To Go to boot from UEFI and legacy systems. + +## Is Windows To Go secure if I use it on an untrusted computer? + + +While you are more secure than if you use a completely untrusted operating system, you are still vulnerable to attacks from the firmware or anything that runs before Windows To Go starts. If you plug your Windows To Go drive into a running untrusted computer, your Windows To Go drive can be compromised because any malicious software that might be active on the computer can access the drive. + +## Does Windows To Go work with ARM processors? + + +No. Windows RT is a specialized version of Windows designed for ARM processors. Windows To Go is currently only supported on PCs with x86 or x64-based processors. + +## Can I synchronize data from Windows To Go with my other computer? + + +To get your data across all your computers, we recommend using folder redirection and client side caching to store copies of your data on a server while giving you offline access to the files you need. + +## What size USB flash drive do I need to make a Windows To Go drive? + + +The size constraints are the same as full Windows. To ensure that you have enough space for Windows, your data, and your applications, we recommend USB drives that are a minimum of 20 GB in size. + +## Do I need to activate Windows To Go every time I roam? + + +No, Windows To Go requires volume activation; either using the [Key Management Service](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=619051) (KMS) server in your organization or using [Active Directory](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=619053) based volume activation. The Windows To Go workspace will not need to be reactivated every time you roam. KMS activates Windows on a local network, eliminating the need for individual computers to connect to Microsoft. To remain activated, KMS client computers must renew their activation by connecting to the KMS host on periodic basis. This typically occurs as soon as the user has access to the corporate network (either through a direct connection on-premises or a through remote connection using DirectAccess or a virtual private network connection), once activated the machine will not need to be activated again until the activation validity interval has passed. In a KMS configuration the activation validity interval is 180 days. + +## Can I use all Windows features on Windows To Go? + + +Yes, with some minor exceptions, you can use all Windows features with your Windows To Go workspace. The only currently unsupported features are using the Windows Recovery Environment and PC Reset & Refresh. + +## Can I use all my applications on Windows To Go? + + +Yes. Because your Windows To Go workspace is a full Windows 10 environment, all applications that work with Windows 10 should work in your Windows To Go workspace. However, any applications that use hardware binding (usually for licensing and/or digital rights management reasons) may not run when you roam your Windows To Go drive between different host computers, and you may have to use those applications on the same host computer every time. + +## Does Windows To Go work slower than standard Windows? + + +If you are using a USB 3.0 port and a Windows To Go certified device, there should be no perceivable difference between standard Windows and Windows To Go. However, if you are booting from a USB 2.0 port, you may notice some slowdown since USB 2.0 transfer speeds are slower than SATA speeds. + +## If I lose my Windows To Go drive, will my data be safe? + + +Yes! If you enable BitLocker on your Windows To Go drive, all your data will be encrypted and protected and a malicious user will not be able to access your data without your password. If you don’t enable BitLocker, your data will be vulnerable if you lose your Windows To Go drive. + +## Can I boot Windows To Go on a Mac? + + +We are committed to give customers a consistent and quality Windows 10 experience with Windows To Go. Windows To Go supports host devices certified for use with Windows 7 or later. Because Mac computers are not certified for use with Windows 7 or later, using Windows To Go is not supported on a Mac. + +## Are there any APIs that allow applications to identify a Windows To Go workspace? + + +Yes. You can use a combination of identifiers to determine if the currently running operating system is a Windows To Go workspace. First, check if the **PortableOperatingSystem** property is true. When that value is true it means that the operating system was booted from an external USB device. + +Next, check if the **OperatingSystemSKU** property is equal to **4** (for Windows 10 Enterprise) or **121** (for Windows 10 Education). The combination of those two properties represents a Windows To Go workspace environment. + +For more information, see the MSDN article on the [Win32\_OperatingSystem class](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=619059). + +## How is Windows To Go licensed? + + +Windows To Go allows organization to support the use of privately owned PCs at the home or office with more secure access to their organizational resources. With Windows To Go use rights under [Software Assurance](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=619062), an employee will be able to use Windows To Go on any company PC licensed with Software Assurance as well as from their home PC. + +## Does Windows Recovery Environment work with Windows To Go? What’s the guidance for recovering a Windows To Go drive? + + +No, use of Windows Recovery Environment is not supported on Windows To Go. It is recommended that you implement user state virtualization technologies like Folder Redirection to centralize and back up user data in the data center. If any corruption occurs on a Windows To Go drive, you should re-provision the workspace. + +## Why won’t Windows To Go work on a computer running Windows XP or Windows Vista? + + +Actually it might. If you have purchased a computer certified for Windows 7 or later and then installed an older operating system, Windows To Go will boot and run as expected as long as you have configured the firmware to boot from USB. However, if the computer was certified for Windows XP or Windows Vista, it might not meet the hardware requirements for Windows To Go to run. Typically computers certified for Windows Vista and earlier operating systems have less memory, less processing power, reduced video rendering, and slower USB ports. + +## Why does the operating system on the host computer matter? + + +It doesn’t other than to help visually identify if the PC has compatible hardware. For a PC to be certified for Windows 7 or later it had to support booting from USB. If a computer cannot boot from USB there is no way that it can be used with Windows To Go. The Windows To Go workspace is a full Windows 10 environment, so all of the hardware requirements of Windows 10 with respect to processing speed, memory usage, and graphics rendering need to be supported to be assured that it will work as expected. + +## My host computer running Windows 7 is protected by BitLocker Drive Encryption. Why did I need to use the recovery key to unlock and reboot my host computer after using Windows To Go? + + +The default BitLocker protection profile in Windows 7 monitors the host computer for changes to the boot order as part of protecting the computer from tampering. When you change the boot order of the host computer to enable it to boot from the Windows To Go drive, the BitLocker system measurements will reflect that change and boot into recovery mode so that the computer can be inspected if necessary. + +You can reset the BitLocker system measurements to incorporate the new boot order using the following steps: + +1. Log on to the host computer using an account with administrator privileges. + +2. Click **Start**, click **Control Panel**, click **System and Security**, and then click **BitLocker Drive Encryption**. + +3. Click **Suspend Protection** for the operating system drive. + + A message is displayed, informing you that your data will not be protected while BitLocker is suspended and asking if you want to suspend BitLocker Drive Encryption. Click **Yes** to continue and suspend BitLocker on the drive. + +4. Restart the computer and enter the firmware settings to reset the boot order to boot from USB first. For more information on changing the boot order in the BIOS, see [Tips for configuring your BIOS settings to work with Windows To Go](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=618951) on the TechNet wiki. + +5. Restart the computer again and then log on to the host computer using an account with administrator privileges. (Neither your Windows To Go drive nor any other USB drive should be inserted.) + +6. Click **Start**, click **Control Panel**, click **System and Security**, and then click **BitLocker Drive Encryption**. + +7. Click **Resume Protection** to re-enable BitLocker protection. + +The host computer will now be able to be booted from a USB drive without triggering recovery mode. + +> [!NOTE] +> The default BitLocker protection profile in Windows 8 or later does not monitor the boot order. + + + +## I decided to stop using a drive for Windows To Go and reformatted it – why doesn’t it have a drive letter assigned and how can I fix it? + + +Reformatting the drive erases the data on the drive, but doesn’t reconfigure the volume attributes. When a drive is provisioned for use as a Windows To Go drive the NODEFAULTDRIVELETTER attribute is set on the volume. To remove this attribute, use the following steps: + +1. Open a command prompt with full administrator permissions. + + > [!NOTE] + > If your user account is a member of the Administrators group, but is not the Administrator account itself, then, by default, the programs that you run only have standard user permissions unless you explicitly choose to elevate them. + + + +2. Start the [diskpart](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=619070) command interpreter, by typing `diskpart` at the command prompt. + +3. Use the `select disk` command to identify the drive. If you do not know the drive number, use the `list` command to display the list of disks available. + +4. After selecting the disk, run the `clean` command to remove all data, formatting, and initialization information from the drive. + +## Why do I keep on getting the message “Installing devices…” when I boot Windows To Go? + + +One of the challenges involved in moving the Windows To Go drive between PCs while seamlessly booting Windows with access to all of their applications and data is that for Windows to be fully functional, specific drivers need to be installed for the hardware in each machine that runs Windows. Windows 8 or later has a process called respecialize which will identify new drivers that need to be loaded for the new PC and disable drivers which are not present on the new configuration. In general this feature is reliable and efficient when roaming between PCs of widely varying hardware configurations. + +In certain cases, third party drivers for different hardware models or versions can reuse device ID’s, driver file names, registry keys (or any other operating system constructs which do not support side-by-side storage) for similar hardware. For example, Touchpad drivers on different laptops often reuse the same device ID’s, and video cards from the same manufacturer may often reuse service names. Windows handles these situations by marking the non-present device node with a flag that indicates the existing driver needs to be reinstalled before continuing to install the new driver. + +This process will occur on any boot that a new driver is found and a driver conflict is detected. In some cases that will result in a respecialize progress message “Installing devices…” displaying every time that a Windows to Go drive is roamed between two PCs which require conflicting drivers. + +## How do I upgrade the operating system on my Windows To Go drive? + + +There is no support in Windows for upgrading a Windows To Go drive. Deployed Windows To Go drives with older versions of Windows will need to be re-imaged with a new version of Windows in order to transition to the new operating system version. + +## Additional resources + + +- [Windows 10 forums](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=618949) + +- [Windows To Go Step by Step Wiki](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=618950) + +- [Windows To Go: feature overview](windows-to-go-overview.md) + +- [Prepare your organization for Windows To Go](prepare-your-organization-for-windows-to-go.md) + +- [Deployment considerations for Windows To Go](deployment-considerations-for-windows-to-go.md) + +- [Security and data protection considerations for Windows To Go](security-and-data-protection-considerations-for-windows-to-go.md) + + + + + + + + + diff --git a/windows/deployment/planning/windows-to-go-overview.md b/windows/deployment/planning/windows-to-go-overview.md index 3ed1e2e88c..14a975949c 100644 --- a/windows/deployment/planning/windows-to-go-overview.md +++ b/windows/deployment/planning/windows-to-go-overview.md @@ -1,284 +1,285 @@ ---- -title: Windows To Go feature overview (Windows 10) -description: Windows To Go is a feature in Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows 10 Education that enables the creation of a Windows To Go workspace that can be booted from a USB-connected external drive on PCs. -ms.assetid: 9df82b03-acba-442c-801d-56db241f8d42 -ms.reviewer: -manager: laurawi -ms.author: greglin -keywords: workspace, mobile, installation, image, USB, device, image, edu -ms.prod: w10 -ms.mktglfcycl: deploy -ms.pagetype: mobility, edu -ms.sitesec: library -audience: itpro author: greg-lindsay -ms.topic: article ---- - -# Windows To Go: feature overview - - -**Applies to** - -- Windows 10 - ->[!IMPORTANT] ->Windows To Go is no longer being developed.

Windows To Go workspaces can use the same image enterprises use for their desktops and laptops and can be managed the same way. Windows To Go is not intended to replace desktops, laptops or supplant other mobility offerings. Rather, it provides support for efficient use of resources for alternative workplace scenarios. There are some additional considerations that you should keep in mind before you start to use Windows To Go: - -- [Differences between Windows To Go and a typical installation of Windows](#bkmk-wtgdif) -- [Roaming with Windows To Go](#bkmk-wtgroam) -- [Prepare for Windows To Go](#wtg-prep-intro) -- [Hardware considerations for Windows To Go](#wtg-hardware) - -**Note**   -Windows To Go is not supported on Windows RT. - - - -## Differences between Windows To Go and a typical installation of Windows - - -Windows To Go workspace operates just like any other installation of Windows with a few exceptions. These exceptions are: - -- **Internal disks are offline.** To ensure data isn’t accidentally disclosed, internal hard disks on the host computer are offline by default when booted into a Windows To Go workspace. Similarly if a Windows To Go drive is inserted into a running system, the Windows To Go drive will not be listed in Windows Explorer. - -- **Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is not used.** When using BitLocker Drive Encryption a pre-operating system boot password will be used for security rather than the TPM since the TPM is tied to a specific computer and Windows To Go drives will move between computers. - -- **Hibernate is disabled by default.** To ensure that the Windows To Go workspace is able to move between computers easily, hibernation is disabled by default. Hibernation can be re-enabled by using Group Policy settings. - -- **Windows Recovery Environment is not available.** In the rare case that you need to recover your Windows To Go drive, you should re-image it with a fresh image of Windows. - -- **Refreshing or resetting a Windows To Go workspace is not supported.** Resetting to the manufacturer’s standard for the computer doesn’t apply when running a Windows To Go workspace, so the feature was disabled. - -- **Upgrading a Windows To Go workspace is not supported.** Older Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 Windows To Go workspaces cannot be upgraded to Windows 10 workspaces, nor can Windows 10 Windows To Go workspaces be upgraded to future versions of Windows 10. For new versions, the workspace needs to be re-imaged with a fresh image of Windows. - -## Roaming with Windows To Go - - -Windows To Go drives can be booted on multiple computers. When a Windows To Go workspace is first booted on a host computer it will detect all hardware on the computer and install any needed drivers. When the Windows To Go workspace is subsequently booted on that host computer it will be able to identify the host computer and load the correct set of drivers automatically. - -The applications that you want to use from the Windows To Go workspace should be tested to make sure they also support roaming. Some applications bind to the computer hardware which will cause difficulties if the workspace is being used with multiple host computers. - -## Prepare for Windows To Go - - -Enterprises install Windows on a large group of computers either by using configuration management software (such as System Center Configuration Manager), or by using standard Windows deployment tools such as DiskPart and the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool. - -These same tools can be used to provision Windows To Go drive, just as you would if you were planning for provisioning a new class of mobile PCs. You can use the [Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=526803) to review deployment tools available. - -**Important**   -Make sure you use the versions of the deployment tools provided for the version of Windows you are deploying. There have been many enhancements made to support Windows To Go. Using versions of the deployment tools released for earlier versions of Windows to provision a Windows To Go drive is not supported. - - - -As you decide what to include in your Windows To Go image, be sure to consider the following questions: - -Are there any drivers that you need to inject into the image? - -How will data be stored and synchronized to appropriate locations from the USB device? - -Are there any applications that are incompatible with Windows To Go roaming that should not be included in the image? - -What should be the architecture of the image - 32bit/64bit? - -What remote connectivity solution should be supported in the image if Windows To Go is used outside the corporate network? - -For more information about designing and planning your Windows To Go deployment, see [Prepare your organization for Windows To Go](prepare-your-organization-for-windows-to-go.md). - -## Hardware considerations for Windows To Go - - -**For USB drives** - -The devices listed in this section have been specially optimized and certified for Windows To Go and meet the necessary requirements for booting and running a full version of Windows 10 from a USB drive.

It also requires a specific type of USB that is no longer supported by many OEMs. + +Windows To Go is a feature in Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows 10 Education that enables the creation of a Windows To Go workspace that can be booted from a USB-connected external drive on PCs. + +PCs that meet the Windows 7 or later [certification requirements](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=618711) can run Windows 10 in a Windows To Go workspace, regardless of the operating system running on the PC. Windows To Go workspaces can use the same image enterprises use for their desktops and laptops and can be managed the same way. Windows To Go is not intended to replace desktops, laptops or supplant other mobility offerings. Rather, it provides support for efficient use of resources for alternative workplace scenarios. There are some additional considerations that you should keep in mind before you start to use Windows To Go: + +- [Differences between Windows To Go and a typical installation of Windows](#bkmk-wtgdif) +- [Roaming with Windows To Go](#bkmk-wtgroam) +- [Prepare for Windows To Go](#wtg-prep-intro) +- [Hardware considerations for Windows To Go](#wtg-hardware) + +> [!NOTE] +> Windows To Go is not supported on Windows RT. + + + +## Differences between Windows To Go and a typical installation of Windows + + +Windows To Go workspace operates just like any other installation of Windows with a few exceptions. These exceptions are: + +- **Internal disks are offline.** To ensure data isn’t accidentally disclosed, internal hard disks on the host computer are offline by default when booted into a Windows To Go workspace. Similarly if a Windows To Go drive is inserted into a running system, the Windows To Go drive will not be listed in Windows Explorer. + +- **Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is not used.** When using BitLocker Drive Encryption a pre-operating system boot password will be used for security rather than the TPM since the TPM is tied to a specific computer and Windows To Go drives will move between computers. + +- **Hibernate is disabled by default.** To ensure that the Windows To Go workspace is able to move between computers easily, hibernation is disabled by default. Hibernation can be re-enabled by using Group Policy settings. + +- **Windows Recovery Environment is not available.** In the rare case that you need to recover your Windows To Go drive, you should re-image it with a fresh image of Windows. + +- **Refreshing or resetting a Windows To Go workspace is not supported.** Resetting to the manufacturer’s standard for the computer doesn’t apply when running a Windows To Go workspace, so the feature was disabled. + +- **Upgrading a Windows To Go workspace is not supported.** Older Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 Windows To Go workspaces cannot be upgraded to Windows 10 workspaces, nor can Windows 10 Windows To Go workspaces be upgraded to future versions of Windows 10. For new versions, the workspace needs to be re-imaged with a fresh image of Windows. + +## Roaming with Windows To Go + + +Windows To Go drives can be booted on multiple computers. When a Windows To Go workspace is first booted on a host computer it will detect all hardware on the computer and install any needed drivers. When the Windows To Go workspace is subsequently booted on that host computer it will be able to identify the host computer and load the correct set of drivers automatically. + +The applications that you want to use from the Windows To Go workspace should be tested to make sure they also support roaming. Some applications bind to the computer hardware which will cause difficulties if the workspace is being used with multiple host computers. + +## Prepare for Windows To Go + + +Enterprises install Windows on a large group of computers either by using configuration management software (such as System Center Configuration Manager), or by using standard Windows deployment tools such as DiskPart and the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool. + +These same tools can be used to provision Windows To Go drive, just as you would if you were planning for provisioning a new class of mobile PCs. You can use the [Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=526803) to review deployment tools available. + +> [!IMPORTANT] +> Make sure you use the versions of the deployment tools provided for the version of Windows you are deploying. There have been many enhancements made to support Windows To Go. Using versions of the deployment tools released for earlier versions of Windows to provision a Windows To Go drive is not supported. + + + +As you decide what to include in your Windows To Go image, be sure to consider the following questions: + +Are there any drivers that you need to inject into the image? + +How will data be stored and synchronized to appropriate locations from the USB device? + +Are there any applications that are incompatible with Windows To Go roaming that should not be included in the image? + +What should be the architecture of the image - 32bit/64bit? + +What remote connectivity solution should be supported in the image if Windows To Go is used outside the corporate network? + +For more information about designing and planning your Windows To Go deployment, see [Prepare your organization for Windows To Go](prepare-your-organization-for-windows-to-go.md). + +## Hardware considerations for Windows To Go + + +**For USB drives** + +The devices listed in this section have been specially optimized and certified for Windows To Go and meet the necessary requirements for booting and running a full version of Windows 10 from a USB drive.

This means that the next version of the application will not have the compatibility fix automatically applied. This is important, because it allows you to continue to use your application, but it also encourages the vendor to fix the application. ## Support for Compatibility Fixes - Compatibility fixes are shipped as part of the Windows operating system and are updated by using Windows Update. Therefore, they receive the same level of support as Windows itself. You can apply the compatibility fixes to any of your applications. However, Microsoft does not provide the tools to use the Compatibility Fix infrastructure to create your own custom fixes. ## Related topics + [Managing Application-Compatibility Fixes and Custom Fix Databases](managing-application-compatibility-fixes-and-custom-fix-databases.md) diff --git a/windows/deployment/planning/viewing-the-events-screen-in-compatibility-administrator.md b/windows/deployment/planning/viewing-the-events-screen-in-compatibility-administrator.md index 6759684011..e6d35d3d8f 100644 --- a/windows/deployment/planning/viewing-the-events-screen-in-compatibility-administrator.md +++ b/windows/deployment/planning/viewing-the-events-screen-in-compatibility-administrator.md @@ -11,7 +11,6 @@ ms.pagetype: appcompat ms.sitesec: library audience: itpro author: greg-lindsay -ms.date: 04/19/2017 ms.topic: article --- @@ -29,14 +28,14 @@ ms.topic: article The **Events** screen enables you to record and to view your activities in the Compatibility Administrator tool, provided that the screen is open while you perform the activities. -> [!IMPORTANT]   -> The **Events** screen only records your activities when the screen is open.

The fix transforms the API calls so that the current version of the operating system supports the application in the same way as previous versions of the operating system. This can mean anything from disabling a new feature in the current version of the operating system to emulating a particular behavior of an older version of the Windows API. ## Searching for Existing Compatibility Fixes - The Compatibility Administrator tool has preloaded fixes for many common applications, including known compatibility fixes, compatibility modes, and AppHelp messages.

By default, hibernation is disabled when using Windows To Go workspace, so enabling this setting explicitly turns this ability back on. When a computer enters hibernation, the contents of memory are written to disk. When the disk is resumed, it is important that the hardware attached to the system, as well as the disk itself, are unchanged. This is inherently incompatible with roaming between PC hosts.

The Sleep state also presents a unique challenge to Windows To Go users. When a computer goes to sleep, it appears as if it is shut down. It could be very easy for a user to think that a Windows To Go workspace in sleep mode was actually shut down and they could remove the Windows To Go drive and take it home. Removing the Windows To Go drive in this scenario is equivalent to an unclean shutdown which may result in the loss of unsaved user data or the corruption on the drive. Moreover, if the user now boots the drive on another PC and brings it back to the first PC which still happens to be in the sleep state, it will lead to an arbitrary crash and eventually corruption of the drive and result in the workspace becoming unusable. If you enable this policy setting, the Windows To Go workspace cannot use the standby states to cause the PC to enter sleep mode. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the Windows To Go workspace can place the PC in sleep mode. **Settings for host PCs** -- **Windows To Go Default Startup Options** +- **Windows To Go Default Startup Options** This policy setting controls whether the host computer will boot to Windows To Go if a USB device containing a Windows To Go workspace is connected, and controls whether users can make changes using the **Windows To Go Startup Options** settings dialog.

If you disable this policy setting, booting to Windows To Go when a USB device is connected will not be enabled unless a user configures the option manually in the firmware. If you do not configure this policy setting, users who are members of the local Administrators group can enable or disable booting from USB using the **Windows To Go Startup Options** settings dialog. - > [!IMPORTANT]   - > Enabling this policy setting will cause PCs running Windows to attempt to boot from any USB device that is inserted into the PC before it is started. - - + >[!IMPORTANT]   + >Enabling this policy setting will cause PCs running Windows to attempt to boot from any USB device that is inserted into the PC before it is started. ## Supporting booting from USB - The biggest hurdle for a user wanting to use Windows To Go is configuring their computer to boot from USB.

After a single Windows To Go workspace has been created, it can be duplicated as many times as necessary using widely available USB duplicator products as long as the device has not been booted. After the Windows To Go drive is initialized, it should not be duplicated.
