PrimoCache 2.5.0 doesn't work in Windows 10.0.14393 with UWF enabled

Post by hank0113 »

PrimoCache version: 2.5.0
Cache Settings: No cache enabled and any other settings
Windows OS: Windows 10.0.14393
Hardware Information (CPU/Motherboard/Memory/Harddisks):
QuadCore AMD Phenom II X4 830, 2800 MHz (14 x 200)
Foxconn 2AA9, AMD 760G, AMD K10
1xCorsair Value Select VS2GB1333D4 (2GB), 3xSamsung M378B5673FH0-CH9 (2GB)
ST3500630AS (500 GB, 7200 RPM, SATA-II)
Description:
I used to be able to use PrimoCache with Unified Write Filter(UWF) enabled. After the latest Windows annivesary update (version 10.0.14393, fresh install with no 3rd-party software installed), if I don't enable the UWF protection (by using command "uwfmgr filter enable"), PrimoCache totally works fine. However, once I enable the UWF, my computer becomes unable to boot into Windows and stucks at the inital screen as the image below shows. Also, I can't even boot into safe mode.

After many tries, I found that every version of PrimoCache (2.0 - latest) works with any version of Windows 10 prior to 10.0.14393 with UWF eabled. However, no version of PrimoCache would work with 10.0.14393 with UWF enabled. The issue also occurs in Virtualbox with the same setup, so this must be an issue of software conflict and has nothing to do with hardware.

I hope this issue can get resolved asap because I rely on PrimoCache and UWF working together a lot. If you need further information, just let me know.

We have released the version 2.6.0 which fixes this issue. You may try it.
Please note that you need to enable the UWF protection first and then install the PrimoCache 2.6.0. Otherwise, there will be problems when target volumes have EFS or Bitblocker enabled.
