Funny, so I've installed windows on one rig, Win 10 Pro, especialy for Claymore 8 and my 480's and like 10 years go, Win freezes completely on a random basis

Just one of the many reasons serious miners prefer LINUX.

Why, cause "Linux doesn't freeze"?

1) LINUX is infinitely more stable than Windows (which isn't saying much).
I have LINUX machines that have run with no outages (hardware failure, shut down to physically MOVE the machine, and power outages excluded) since before Windows XP EXISTED - literally.
The only Windows machine I've EVER had go a year without crashing was a NT 3.51 SP5 machine - vs MORE THAN 20 YEARS for some of my LINUX machines that were running the same user programs.

2) If you have a power outage, your miner running under Windows won't restart when power comes back on 'till you LOG IN MANUALLY (I have yet to see any miner program that could be run a a service).
LINUX makes it easy to set up so the miner will restart automatically after a power outage.

IMO the only thing Windows has going for it are that the overclock/fan control programs available for it like Afterburner are a lot better.

This leads me to belive that you have used windows for less then a day...

+1
My Windows account on the rig don't have a password, so no log in requiered.
I have set "bcdedit /set {current} bootstatuspolicy ignoreallfailures" (in cmd as admin) So if the Windows restart, it will not be stuck in the "repair tool' and will boot normally
And I haved added the shortcut to my miner.bat in the "Startup" folder, so it will start automatically
And last thing, If the claymore miner crash, the reboot.bat is "shutdown /r /t 5", so auto restart the whole rig

With that, I never have problem on my windows rig
