• Improved console performance.
• Enhancements to prevent longer system startup on Advanced Format (AF) 4k sector hard drives (up to 2X faster boot time).

• Windows Update Enhancements
  To address changes in the way Anniversary Update handles automatic Windows Updates, Deep Freeze will take extra measures to ensure that the Windows Updates will not be triggered outside of the scheduled Windows Update Task on Windows 10 machines. This is achieved by disabling the Windows update service.

• Officially supported on Windows Server 2008 R2.
• Maintenance Mode is now compatible with the Enable Deep Freeze Maintenance ModeCompatibility feature of Faronics Anti-Executable v3.4 (or later).

• Officially supported on Windows Server 2008 R2.
• The Embedded Events Scheduler now combines all possible Embedded Events onto a single configuration tab and allows for multiple events to be scheduled on a single day.

• Users can optionally be allowed to cancel any Embedded Event (Maintenance, Restart, Shutdown, or Idle Time) prior to execution from the workstation.- Windows Updates that are applied via Deep Freeze are now logged to a log file.- Multiple ThawSpaces (up to eight) can be created.- ThawSpace(s) can individually be specified as Visible or Hidden.- Integrated Console Customizer: Customized copies of the Enterprise console with limited features can be created for distribution in your organization.

• Remote Execute: Remotely execute an executable file on a computer. Administrators do not have to visit each workstation to install a program, and reliance on third party management solutions is reduced.
• Push and Install MSI: Push and install a .msi file on a computer. This allows administrators to use the Enterprise console to install applications rather than scripting, GPOs, or using third party tools.
• Integrated Action Files: Action Files call an external program or script through the Enterprise console to reduce the need for third party tools. Administrators can use any scripting language that can be called through command line.
