Large Page Support crashes with Bluescreen on Windows 10 10.0.14393 (latest Anniversary Upgrade 2016
Hello all,
this is more an informational message for those,who run databases on Windows 10 with enabled Large Page Support. I've just applied the Anniversary Upgrade for Windows 10,after this I can no longer run my database (EE 12.1.02) with LPS enabled - even with mixed mode setting (i.e. when Oracle cannot allocate the requested Large Page memory,it goes back automatically to the default setting)
It crashes at the very beginning of the startup process (bluescreen memory fault),nothing is written to the alertlog. After going back to the default settings all is fine.
I changed nothing in my database settings,so it seems the new W10 version does something different in memory allocation. I used LPS only for testing purposes (I know a desktop OS is not a production environment),this changed behaviour is not really an issue.
