Windows Server 2012 R2 - memory leak SysTrace.sys
Hello,
since last month our server started having issue with memory leak all of sudden where non-paged pool increases in size to about 25GB filling up the whole memory, making the system unresponsive.
I traced it with pooltag, the culprit is in tag "FDRo", searching through sys files it pointed to "SysTrace.sys", which is supposed to be "Microsoft MSN Flight Data Recorder". The server runs normally for about 3-4 days, then within couple of hours the memory gets filled up and server crashes.
Is there any way to disable the Flight Data Recorder or fix the driver? Also it is a VM machine running on Hyper-V
Thank you

Dave Patrick How could I miss this post. Thank you very much. I uninstalled the Software Certification Toolkit and renamed the sys file. Hopefully it will fix the issue.
No worries, glad to hear, you're welcome.
