The Notification Database Grows When You Perform a Warm Reset on Your Windows CE Device (811283)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows CE .NET 4.1

SYMPTOMS

When you perform a warm reset on your Microsoft Windows CE-based device, the notification database may grow by two records. This behavior occurs only if the contents of the RAM file system are preserved through the reset (this is known as a warm reset). When the notification database grows because of frequent warm resets, less memory is available for registry entries, files, and program memory.

CAUSE

The Explorer shell for Windows CE adds notification entries for the Time Zone Change event (NOTIFICATION_EVENT_TZ_CHANGE) and the Time Change event (NOTIFICATION_EVENT_TIME_CHANGE). These entries permit the shell to reset reminder and daylight saving time alarms when the system time is changed, or if you change the time zone. The shell does not first determine if the notification entries already exist in the database. The hotfix that is described in this article adds code to the shell initialization that removes the existing notifications before adding new ones.
