NKForceCleanBoot (Windows CE 5.0)

Send Feedback

This function forces the operating system (OS) to boot from a clean object store file system when called from the OEMInit function.

This function can also be called after the OS has started to force the next boot process to start from a clean object store file system.

VOID NKForceCleanBoot(void);

Parameters

None.

Return Values

None.

Remarks

The hardware on some devices accidentally preserves RAM contents after brief power losses due to capacitance.

Unless these devices are intentionally preserving RAM contents using self-refresh, these devices should always call NKForceCleanBoot so the object store does not appear valid at boot time. Otherwise, devices are likely to experience crash problems during boot.

Requirements

OS Versions: Windows CE .NET 4.2 and later.
Header: Pkfuncs.h.
Link Library: Coredll.lib.
