xorinzor Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Hello, Like many other users on this forum I was having the issue that when downloading a large torrent file on windows 8 it would start using all the memory with a system freeze / hang as result, only to be fixed by rebooting.(which looks like this: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6072059/20140203_174312.jpg) It turns out this has somehow something to do with the Windows Network Data Usage Monitoring Driver (otherwise known as Ndu.sys), what you will have to do to fix this problem is the following: 1. open "regedit"2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Ndu3. Change the "start" value to 4 (this disables it)4. Reboot.5. No more system issues! I hope this will help many other people with the same issue. Regards,Xorinzor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Does it happen with the latest Beta too (link in my sig)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xorinzor Posted May 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 I re-enabled ndu.sys and installed your beta, it looks like it's fixed in that build. Any information on what the fix is? or may have been changed to fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 All the available infos are in the changelog... Maybe one of the fixed memory leaks... And it is not *my* beta... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
