Scanning Kext folder #248

Closed retrohog closed 1 year ago

retrohog commented 2 years ago

A very strange bug whenever I try to scan my kext on windows it started to create so many folders inside the kext folder and after sometimes the windows gets soft reboot. It just keep creating folders and folders.

Can you provide me with the exact steps to follow? Thank you.

OCAT doesn't have the ability to scan kexts, I really didn't understand what you meant, sorry.

retrohog commented 2 years ago

When I select the choose folder in OCAT Kexts menu located in right side bottom ( + ) Symbol button, then it just starts creating multiple folders inside it and stops when windows freeze or crash

For Kext, under Windows, it is a folder, you just need to select this folder with the same name as Kext to add this Kext to the table. If possible, could you record a video file of your operation, I would like to see how it is really a phenomenon?

By the way, under Windows, if you add Kext by "+", only one Kext can be added at a time, it does not support multiple selection. If you want to add more than one Kext, you can multi-select these Kext and drag them directly to the inside of the table.

And, may I ask what version of Windwos you are using, Win7 or Win10 or Win11?

I am really sorry bit busy, I tried on both Windows 11 and 10 the bug persists same, though it limits to creating 256 folders inside every folder which eventually bump up the cpu usage and some unknown tasks run in background i don't remember their names but they microsoft itself tasks and they start increasing cpu usage which in return freezes the windows. Also, you cannot delete those folder, the only possible solution is installing the windows again xD
