Huh, I had no idea that UFW was a feature of Windows and I'm kind of surprised to not see more widespread adoption for workstation rollouts. DeepFreeze was great (excepting updates and other minor issues) and actively reduced a lot of nuisance issues that we might otherwise have to deal with when I worked for a school.

UFW has a nicer admin automation "story" than Deep Freeze (for which I have a decent amount of experience), in my opinion. "Unfreezing" UFW volumes for updates (known as "Servicing Mode") via script isn't hateful.
