, clearing any orphaned references. 2. Pending File Rename Operations (The "PendingFileRenameOperations" Key) Many WinDivert installers, when upgrading, attempt to replace the existing WinDivert.sys file. Since the running kernel may have locked the old file, Windows instead schedules a replacement for the next boot using the PendingFileRenameOperations registry key (located under HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager ). This is a standard technique for updating in-use system files.
But always try the reboot first. In the world of kernel drivers, it is rarely a placebo.
