Symptoms
When you create and then delete a Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) miniport driver instance in Windows Embedded Compact 7, this may trigger a memory leak in the NK.exe process.
Note NK.exe is the core process of the Windows Embedded Compact 7 system.
For example, this problem may occur when you repeatedly call one of the following pairs in order to dynamically create and then delete a new NDIS device instance:
-
The NdisRegisterAdapter and NdisDeregisterAdapter functions
-
The IOCTL_NDIS_REGISTER_ADAPTER and IOCTL_NDIS_DEREGISTER_ADAPTER NDIS DeviceIoControl requests
