How can I tell if my minifilter driver is being shut down

Is there an On_Unload event or anything I can attach to that lets me know the minifilter driver is going to be shut down so I can do some cleanup work?

    • There are three callbacks (two pre, one post) to do with instance tear down where you should do most of the work.
    • There is MJ_SHUTDOWN for OS shutdown
    • And there is unload for driver state tear down

    You should check the fine manual (starting here )
