I'm wondering if anyone has experienced a similar problem. The fact that the leak only occurs in certain versions of Windows implies that it mi...

A new connection seems to be made with each WQL query. Despite limited trial and error, I haven't found any big wins yet in improving the performance of the WMI ...
