title: Named Event exists even though its creator doesn't
body: <p>Any ideas why:</p>
  
  <pre><code>HANDLE hEvent = OpenEvent(EVENT_MODIFY_STATE, FALSE, L"Global\\MyEventName");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Succeeded opening the event even though the process which created the event is no longer running ? </p>
  
  <p>The only reason I can think about is that the process which created the event, didn't close it when it terminated, BUT, I was under the assumption that if the process which created the named event terminated without closing the event, then the event is closed by OS, Is this a wrong assumption ? </p>
  
  <p>What is the status of named event if its creator terminated without closing it ?</p>
  
  <p>I'm testing on Windows 10 x64, both processes (Creator / OpenEvent) are running as system windows services so privilege issues are out of the game.</p>
