Keep MAX Settings on write protected volume

[Peter_S]

Hi,

I use a system volume which is write protected by the Unified Write Filter (UWF) in Windows 10 LTSB Enterprise. To allow changes on activated UWF in the MAX Settings I have to define a write through exclusion for the folder of the daqmx database. If I change some settings in MAX the file "c:\ProgramData\National Instruments\MAX\Data\config3.mxs" is changed.

It is enough to add an  exclusion for c:\ProgramData\National Instruments\MAX with sub folders: Data, Data Dictionaries, Logs ?

Or is something stored in other location (ie. Registry)?

Hello,

Hard to say for sure without looking under the hood, your assumption may be a good direction (excluding whole ProgramData\National Instruments\MAX). Is there anything that doesnt work for you here?

The other hint of course would be to consider excluding also Program Files\National Instruments\MAX directory.

Hello,

I excluded ProgramData\National Instruments\MAX which contain the MAX database Data\config3.mxs.

Up to now I have no problem.
