Description
It has been found that some Windows GDI functions don't support all types of Java heap memory allocation schemes. This problem can cause repaint issues and printing bugs. Affected JVM flags: -XX:+UseLargePages and -XX:+UseNUMAInterleaving. The problem can be worked around by turning off the listed flags.

Comments
Not sure why this was assigned to me. Seems to be just a case of delivering a copy of the 11u note ?? Also I presume these notes for older releases would become "obsolete" if https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8240654 were ever to be backported.
