handle leak
About this tag
A handle leak occurs when a program fails to release system handles, causing resource exhaustion and potential application crashes. On WindowsForum.com, discussions cover handle leaks in various Windows components, including Svchost.exe triggered by WMI queries, the Perflib.lib component during performance data collection, COM clients on Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2, and the MPEG-2 Audio Decoder when playing videos repeatedly in Windows Media Player. Users also report symptoms like most applications failing to run, often linked to specific triggers such as plugging in an Xbox 360 controller. Microsoft has released hotfixes for several of these issues, which are referenced in the threads.
