Re: FltMgr: FLT_INSTANCE_CONTEXT ref. leak in InstanceSetup on Windows 10 1709

Hi.

A small update for this issue. Before updating Windows 1709 I’ve tested
with a 16299.371 version and there was a hang on a mini-filter unload (like
with any previous 16299.x). But after upgrading to 16299.402 (KB4093105)
the issue is now fixed.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4093105
“Addresses an issue that may cause a file system mini-filter to fail to
unload because of a leak in Filter Manager, which requires a restart.”

Regards,
Krystian Bigaj
