   Is there an existing issue for this?

   • I have searched the existing issues

   Current behaviour

   there is an entry indicating there is a heap leak in bitcoin-qt.exe:

   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\RADAR\HeapLeakDetection\DiagnosedApplications\bitcoin-qt.exe] “LastDetectionTime”=hex(b):ce,61,4c,3c,47,bc,da,01

   unfortunately no details, also it could be qt related? i hope so :D

   Expected behaviour

   expected to free memory as soon as it can be freed

   Steps to reproduce

   unfortunately can’t reproduce, though people can check if they have a same entry in their registry

   Relevant log output

   Actually the hex LastDetectionTime translates to:

   LDAP: 133626153101189582 Epoch/Unix time: 1718141710 GMT: 2024. June 11., Tuesday 21:35:10

   so it cannot be v27.1 as it wasn’t released yet, i used v27.0 at that time.

   Not sure what to do here. Given there’s been 0 response, moving to the Gui repo: https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui/issues/845.
