- Right-click the storage device for which Windows write caching will be disabled.
- Select Properties, then click the Hardware tab.
- Click the Properties button.
- Click the Policies tab.
- Clear the Enable write caching on the disk check box.
- Click OK, then click OK again.
- Close the Computer Management window, then the Administrative Tools window.
- Right-click the Provisioning Server node in the Console, then click Restart service. Alternatively, you can also rerun the Configuration Wizard to restart the services, or manually restart the services through theWindows Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Serviceswindow. (At the Services window, right-click on the Stream Service, then select Start from the shortcut menu.)
