Windows Unified Write Filter

A modern interface for Windows UWF

Bring live state, next-session configuration, staged changes, validation, and overlay monitoring into one workspace—without assembling command output by hand.

Windows 10 / 11 · GPL-3.0

Core capabilities

Unified operational view

Correlate live state, next-session configuration, pending edits, and overlay usage; keep key status available from the taskbar or floating hub.

Stage, validate, review

Stage all changes without writing to the system immediately. Validate constraints and review each operation before applying the batch as a whole.

Commit changes at any time

Use the file and registry selectors to prepare commit operations. Confirm commit or deletion scope and capability limits before execution, then receive an itemized result.

Single-file, portable operation

! UWF Manager does not create files to persist its own state during normal operation. In the unlikely event that an unhandled exception terminates the program, it writes a .txt crash report and a .dmp minidump beside the executable for diagnostics. If that directory is not writable, it uses UWF-CrashDumps under the Windows temporary directory.

Distributed as a single executable and creates no configuration files. Only the optional file-staging feature stores its path list in the registry; runtime logs remain in memory and are discarded on exit. The application itself initiates no internet connections.
