To find a memory leak with the PoolMon utility, follow this procedure: Sorts tags by the difference between allocations and frees.
Repeatedly pressingĬycles through each of these options, in that order.Ĭauses the display to include the paged and non-paged totals across the bottom. Limits the tags shown to nonpaged pool, paged pool, or both. Nonpaged pool is therefore always kept present in physical memory and nonpaged pool virtual memory is assigned physical memory. Where is nonpaged pool virtual memory assigned?.(HKLM\system\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\NonPagedPoolSize) May be because that key name is wrong? Common answers on the internet don't seem to work when tested with Notmyfault.exe. Is there a way to limit the max nonpaged pool memory in windows 10? It doesn't appear to be limited.
Is there a way to limit nonpaged pool memory in Windows 10?.The pool manager operates in kernel mode, using regions of the system’s virtual address space (described in the Pushing the Limits post on virtual memory) for the memory it sub-allocates. Paged and nonpaged pools serve as the memory resources that the operating system and device drivers use to store their data structures. On the right-hand panel, right-click on NonPagedPoolSize and press Modify 5. Non-paged pool is used by drivers to allocate memory which they need and cannot be used when Windows runs out of free physical memory.
