APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Windows CE .NET 4.1
SYMPTOMS
If networking is enabled on your device, the device may stop responding for up to approximately 19.5 minutes.
CAUSE
The NdisStallExecution function provides network device drivers with a short delay (50 microseconds or less), but the function may not correctly look for a rollover condition in the counter that the function uses for the delay. When the counter-rollover condition occurs, the counter takes approximately 19.5 minutes to reach the end value.
