Having memory leak with A7000 driver version 1.0.0.11

Question

Hi I am currently having some major driver leak errors originating from the A7000 drivers version 1.0.0.11. I had seen in a previous thread someone was having similar issues being reported by poolmon, and the only given solution was to uninstall the 1.0.0.15 driver and switch over to that one. But this issue hasnt removed the memory leak problems. This has happened to me on before and after fresh installling windows 10. Bit lost where to go from here

yeah I've had the same issue. I usually keep my PC on and has leaked ~2GB in about 3 days. It's been up to ~5GB when I've had it on for weeks.

I know it is because I can uninstall the A7000 driver and the memory is freed.

Do you have NETGEAR Genie installed?&nbsp;

Have you tried installing the stand-alone driver version?&nbsp;

Yes I have tried both ways with all 3 driver versions avaliable on your support tab for the A7000

Hello!&nbsp;I am having a similar issue / memory leak with 1.0.0.15, and was considering testing 1.0.0.11 until running into this thread.&nbsp;I am just curious, is there a beta driver or other recommendation to resolve this issue?&nbsp;Thank you!
