Changes in the pre-installed Windows system
If changes are made to the pre-installed Windows system, 
HEIDENHAIN does not guarantee that this will have no negative 
effects on the function of the control software, and therefore on the 
quality of the parts produced.
Changes to the system settings, installation of updates or installation 
of additional software in particular can have a lasting effect on the 
control software. HEIDENHAIN has tested important Windows 
security updates from Microsoft and integrated them, as far as 
possible, in the pre-installed Windows system. All other modifications 
are the responsibility of the machine tool builder or the user.
To minimize the probability of adverse effects on the machine control 
operation or on the quality of the parts manufactured with it, 
HEIDENHAIN recommends observing the following rules regarding 
such modifications and, in particular, the operation of the Windows 
system.
Before you do any extensive work, always put the 
machine in EMERGENCY STOP condition. See also the 
information on the installation of additional software (see 
“Logging on as a local administrator” on page 630). Even 
the change or modification of shared components (DLL, 
Registry settings, etc.) can lead to undesired impairments 
at completely unexpected locations.
Never do any extensive work on the Windows system 
while machining parts! This includes in particular 
operations that require a considerable portion of operating-
system resources (computing time, RAM, accesses to the 
hard disk, network traffic, etc.).
Do not run any automatic updates, neither of Windows nor 
of any other software, as the implemented changes can 
impair the overall system both during the update itself and 
during further operation.
Do not start any additional software during start-up! This 
applies in particular to services such as the real-time scan 
components of virus scanners.
Network connections to non-existing drives can lead to an 
increased system load under Windows. Do not connect 
network drives automatically but only if required!
