HP Elite t655 Thin Client (56X62AV)
Microsoft Windows 10 IOT

Hi guys

 

I'm currently working on builds for our T530/T540/T640 and T655 Elite thin clients. All are running Windows 10.

T530 Windows 10 IOT LTSC 2016

T540/640 Windows 10 IOT LTSC 2019

T655 Windows 10 IOT LTSC 21H2

 

All have been patched to April 2024 cumulative updates using the DISM method (That's a nightmare to do in itself, but for another post!!)

 

All come pre-loaded with HP Ram Disk manager, and I am using the latest HP Write Manager version 1.9.50.

 

Anyhow; I have noticed the HP RAM disk for these devices is not working. I have the Z:\ drive set for 768Mb and all the time the HP Write Manager is disabled it shows correctly with no problems...

But as soon as HP write filter is enabled the RAM disk errors and no longer displays correctly.

Looking back this seems to be an ongoing problem as we checked a build from years ago using an un-patched Windows 10 IOT 2019 LTSC with HP write manager 1.7.2 and that had the same issue.

 

In fact I had to go all the way back to a T530 with original 2016 LTSC and HP Write Manager 1.5 to see the RAM disk working as intended with no errors.

 

There is no update for HP RAM Manager in HP update to download, so how do we get this fixed please?
