Frequently Asked Questions

Is PoolMon compatible with Windows 8 64-bit?

Yes, PoolMon works on both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 8, including Windows 8.1.

How do I interpret the PoolMon output data?

Look for processes with continuously increasing 'Bytes' values, which indicate potential memory leaks. Sort by 'Bytes' column to identify top memory consumers.

Can PoolMon help identify specific memory leaks in applications?

PoolMon shows which processes are allocating memory but doesn't identify specific leaks within applications. For detailed application-level analysis, use additional debugging tools like Visual Studio's memory profiler.
