Description

hi professor

Greeting from Dorian

Recently, I ran into a major issue.
Windows 26200.9445
Codex 26.903.8094.0
Pool Tag: NtFC
Increased from 0.95 GB to 1.53 GB in approximately 90 seconds
NtFC reached ~616 MB with approximately 5.1 million unreleased allocations
Reproducible after C/H drive migration, Repair, Reset, clearing the cache, and uninstalling Huorong.

I would like to know how to fix it
Thank you so much

Kind regards

Research direction

No repository file or test is named in the report. Start by reproducing the leak with Windows 26200.9445 and Codex 26.903.8094.0 while monitoring NtFC allocations; done means identifying the cause and verifying that nonpaged-pool usage no longer grows.
