STATUS_NOTIFY_CLEANUP
Directory notification ended during handle cleanup
This status belongs to directory change notification. It indicates that a pending notify request completed because the handle that requested notification is being cleaned up or closed, not because a directory entry necessarily changed.
Applications and file-system filters should treat it as cancellation or teardown of the watch. If the watch is still required, the caller must establish a new notify request on a valid directory handle.
What to inspect
- Check whether the directory handle was closed, canceled, or torn down by cleanup.
- Do not interpret this as evidence of a real file creation, deletion, or rename.
- For user-mode code, compare with ReadDirectoryChangesW cancellation and handle lifetime.
