   Moved from https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/30629.

   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

   No response

   What version of Bitcoin Core are you using?

   v27.1 but not sure if entry was created after or before upgrading

   Operating system and version

   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.
