Introduction
Wyse Converter for PCs is a stand-alone software that enables you to provide a thin client like experience
on a Windows PC. Wyse Converter for PCs provides a secure, and seamless interface to connect to VDI
sessions.
After you install Wyse Convertor for PCs, the device is referred to as Wyse Software thin client. You can
manage the device using Wyse Management Suite 1.1 and later versions.
Wyse Converter for PCs utilizes the existing Windows operating system on the hardware, and adds the
customization but does not replace the operating system. It only locks down the exiting Windows operating

Key features
Unified Write Filter (UWF) – Windows 10 Enterprise
Unified Write Filter (UWF) is a sector-based write filter that protects your storage media on a Windows 10
Enterprise device. UWF intercepts all write attempts to a protected volume and redirects those write
attempts to a virtual overlay. This feature improves system security, since unauthorized changes to the
system are discarded after a reboot.
After you configure the Wyse Software thin client, to enable the UWF, double-click the Dell Wyse WF
Enable icon on the desktop. This icon enables the write filter and restarts the system. The configurations
on the Wyse Software thin client are saved.
The UWF starts automatically when the system starts. You can add specific files or folders on a protected
volume to a file exclusion list to exclude those files and folders from being filtered by UWF using the Dell
Wyse Unified Write Control tool.
To access the Dell Wyse Unified Write Control tool, click the Unified Write Filter icon in the system tray.
When a file or folder is in the exclusion list for a volume, all writes to that file or folder bypass UWF filtering,
and are written directly to the protected volume and persist after the device restarts.
NOTE: You must log in as an administrator to add or remove file or folder exclusions during run time, and
you must restart the device for new exclusions to take effect.
NetXClean
NetXClean is a cleanup utility that keeps extraneous information from being stored on the local disk. When
multiple users have logon rights to a system, the disk space is used by the profiles stored locally. NetXClean
can be used to automatically cleanup directories used for temporary caching of information. Cleanup is
triggered on either service startup or user logoff. It does the cleanup in the background and is completely
configurable.
NetXClean uses the configuration file to determine which directories and files to purge, and which profiles
not to purge. The utility can be configured to:
• Delete any number of directories and their contents
• Delete just the contents of any number of directories
