Ageing OSR Tools
I had taken a hiatus from the Kernel world for a few years, and now that I am back I want to use those fav OSR tools I used to use. Unfortunately I find that some of them haven't been updated in a while and fail at times. Example the PoolTag tool fails on Win10 19h1 with "Query SystemInformation FAILED!".
Are there any plans to update these well loved tools?

Thanks Peter! Seems I have to re-learn a lot. What modern utility can I use to check poolTags apart from a debugger?
Sorry about that. We use the debugger mostly. But, you can also use the WDK utility PoolMon.
