Set up Windows write protection

Write protection allows you to lock the system and protect it against changes. When write protection is set up, the system resets itself to the saved state each time it is restarted.

This protects against unintentional changes, manipulation attempts and problems with updates and is ideal in combination with an automatic restart.

This function is only available for Windows 10/11 Enterprise versions.

The following settings are only recommended for experienced persons.
