Freeze system state instantly. Revert to a clean configuration after every reboot — automatically, completely, silently.

Faronics Deep Freeze is a system integrity utility that completely freezes the operating system state at the block level. After you install and configure Faronics Deep Freeze, every system restart restores the computer to the exact frozen configuration — no manual cleanup, no scripts, no background agents consuming resources.

The problem Faronics Deep Freeze solves is simple: unwanted permanent changes. Users install toolbars, malware corrupts files, configuration drifts, or accidental deletions break critical workflows. Traditional antivirus or backup solutions require constant updates, signature databases, or manual restore procedures.

Faronics Deep Freeze eliminates all that. Once frozen, the system discards every change — every file written, every setting modified, every application installed — during reboot. The frozen state persists across power cycles, OS updates, and even low-level disk operations.

Whether you manage a university computer lab, a public library kiosk, a corporate training room, or a hospital information terminal, Faronics Deep Freeze guarantees that the system always returns to your approved master configuration. No surprises. No gradual degradation. Just pure, repeatable system state after every single restart.

Faronics Deep Freeze works silently in the background without consuming CPU cycles, without interfering with user sessions, and without requiring administrators to re-image machines weekly. Set it once, freeze it forever.

Complete System Freeze
Faronics Deep Freeze redirects all disk writes to a temporary overlay. On reboot, the overlay is discarded. The original frozen partition remains untouched. No files survive the restart unless explicitly thawed.

Instant Rollback on Every Restart
Unlike snapshot tools that require manual activation, Faronics Deep Freeze automatically restores the frozen system state during the boot cycle. Users cannot bypass or disable this behavior without administrative credentials.

Zero Maintenance After Freeze
Once you deploy Faronics Deep Freeze, the system no longer accumulates temporary files, registry leftovers, browser cache, or application cruft. Every restart performs a full cleanup automatically.

Thawed Space Support
Faronics Deep Freeze allows you to designate specific folders or drives as "thawed" where user data (documents, profiles, logs) can persist across reboots. The rest of the system remains frozen.

Stealth Operation
Faronics Deep Freeze runs below the operating system level. No tray icon appears by default. No notifications interrupt users. The frozen state remains invisible until a restart reveals its effect.

Multi-OS Compatibility
Faronics Deep Freeze supports legacy and modern environments equally — from older Windows builds to the latest Windows releases, including embedded and IoT editions.

Educational institutions with shared computer labs
Every student session starts clean. No residual files, no changed settings, no persistent malware. Faronics Deep Freeze eliminates the need to reimage lab machines every semester.

Public access kiosks and libraries
Patrons cannot permanently install software, alter system configuration, or leave browser history. Faronics Deep Freeze restores pristine state after each patron session.

Corporate training and exam environments
All candidates receive identical frozen system configuration. No test answers saved. No environment drift. Faronics Deep Freeze guarantees fairness through deterministic system state.

Healthcare and point-of-sale terminals
Regulatory compliance requires that systems return to a known good state. Faronics Deep Freeze prevents unauthorized configuration changes without blocking necessary application writes to thawed areas.

IT administrators managing remote sites
Reduce helpdesk tickets about "my computer is slow" or "settings are wrong." Faronics Deep Freeze eliminates configuration drift across hundreds of endpoints with zero daily maintenance.

Step 1 — Obtain Faronics Deep Freeze
Acquire the official distribution package. Both enterprise deployment MSI and standalone installer variants are available depending on your management needs.

Step 2 — Install and Choose Drive to Freeze
Run the setup for Faronics Deep Freeze. Select the system drive you intend to freeze. The installation wizard guides you through configuring the initial frozen state.

Step 3 — Set Administrator Password
Define a strong password for Faronics Deep Freeze administration. This password controls thawed access, configuration changes, and temporary uninstall operations.

Step 4 — Configure Thawed Spaces (Optional)
Designate folders or entire secondary drives where data survives reboots. Log files, user documents, or application caches can persist while the rest of the system remains frozen.

Step 5 — Freeze the System
Boot into the frozen state using Faronics Deep Freeze boot control or management console. The system now discards every change on every restart automatically.

Step 6 — Test the Frozen Behavior
Make any changes — delete system files, install software, modify registry. Restart. The system returns exactly to the state when Faronics Deep Freeze was activated.

• Faronics Deep Freeze operates at the disk driver level — no kernel hooks that destabilize the OS
• No administrator privileges required for standard frozen operation — only for configuration changes
• Faronics Deep Freeze fully supports high-DPI displays and per-monitor DPI scaling in its management console
• Completely telemetry-free: Faronics Deep Freeze makes no external network requests except for optional enterprise management communication
• Updates to Faronics Deep Freeze require temporary thawing; the update process preserves your frozen configuration
• Boot control allows temporary thaw mode for maintenance windows without uninstalling Faronics Deep Freeze
