Why doesn't Mutex get released when disposed?

Question

I have the following code:

using (Mutex mut = new Mutex(false, MUTEX_NAME))
{
    if (mut.WaitOne(new TimeSpan(0, 0, 30)))
    {
       // Some code that dea         


        

Answer 1

Be aware: The Mutex.Dispose() executed by the Garbage collector fails because the garbage collection process does not own the handle according Windows.
