by Jose Richardson System Admin

A number of users on public access computers accidentally download faulty malwares and viruses through clickbait e-mails. Getting rid of pop-up icons often leads to virus downloads as well. It is imperative that businesses enable an effective system restore software in place, one that helps them deal with such malware and acts as a troubleshooter. Such issues could be resolved by Windows SteadyState before. However, with the software being discontinued, there is a need for an even more robust alternative.

Accidental virus download can often lead to configuration changes in your OS, uninstallation of critical applications, and installation of unwarranted applications. Without a formidable solution, organizations end up losing a lot of time and effort to deal with IT glitches. Such IT issues are commonplace and investing massive hours and resources behind mitigating them isn’t the ideal way out. This is where Deep Freeze, a Windows SteadyState alternative, comes for rescue.

Relied on Windows SteadyState so far? Switch to Deep Freeze

Fixing IT issues quickly and ensuring that your organization benefits from reduced IT issues called for a software like Windows SteadyState. It was a freeware tool being offered by Microsoft. However, Windows SteadyState did not work on Windows OS released after Windows 7. Windows SteadyState worked only on 32-bits Operating Systems. Due to its non-functionality in 64-bits OS, a replacement was in huge demand for organizations heavily relying on public access computers.

Educational institutions used to rely heavily on Windows SteadyState, especially for their libraries. Public access computers face downtime issues because of multiple users relying on them every single day. Windows SteadyState used to be a go-to solution. However, most of the modern day workstation have either Windows 7 or a version higher. Thus, the need for a Windows SteadyState alternative with better capabilities arises. This is why organizations across the globe trust Deep Freeze as the next-generation replacement for Windows SteadyState.
