Hot fix replacement information

Question













These two hot fixes are for issues in the same file "fltmgr.sys"

KB2575077

KB2710594

The support links both state that neither fix is a replacement.  Does this mean I have to choose?

This MS field engineer implied that the newer hot fix superseded the older hot fix on this blog link:

Which is true?

Answer 1

Unless I am missing something, they address different issues.

KB2575077 - "Computer randomly stops responding because of a deadlock situation in Windows Server 2008 R2 or in Windows 7 "

KB2710594 - "Memory leak when a file system minifilter driver calls the FltCreateSystemVolumeInformationFolder function in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2"

I agree, the real question is which problem are you experiencing?
