01 — SOUND FAMILIAR?
Doors open at 10.
What if a screen goes black?
Visitors are arriving. Your team needs to know the experience is ready to welcome them.
The event is live.
Who is watching the machines?
From setup to the last visitor, you have more to do than keep checking whether an application is still responding.

ONE TOOL. THE WHOLE OPERATION.
Beyond monitoring.
Ready for everything around it.
01 / APPLICATION MONITORING
Keep the experience
responding.
Monitor your applications and check whether they are responding. Restart them when they stop working, with the recovery rules you configure.
02 / KIOSK MODE
The experience.
Front and centre.
Configure the computer to start without the Windows desktop. Switch between kiosk and desktop when your team needs to work on the equipment.
03 / POWER MANAGEMENT
Stay awake.
Stay on display.
Keep the computer and screen on. Prevent automatic sleep, hibernation and display timeout caused by inactivity, so the installation stays ready for visitors.
04 / SCHEDULED RESTARTS
A fresh start.
On your schedule.
Choose the days and local time for weekly restarts. Plan them around your opening hours. The schedule continues to work when the WD-U interface is closed.
05 / AUTOMATIC SIGN-IN
Power on.
Step into the experience.
Configure Windows autologon so the computer can sign in automatically. Combine it with your startup applications and kiosk settings to prepare the opening sequence.
06 / FALLBACK SLIDESHOW
Apps fail.
The screen keeps telling a story.
If all configured applications fail, show your fallback slideshow of images and videos. Keep content on the screen while your main experience is unavailable.
