Re: WinMiner v1.75a - auto switch windows app for multi miner optimization
Some additional feedback: just FYI, the past two days the miner has shut down overnight and requires a full shutdown and restart to resume. I am running the latest version, Windows 10, two dual-xeon boxes, CPU only, mining XMR...
EDIT/UPDATE: It just happened again. It (the app) stopped reporting hashrate but was still using my CPUs as if it were running at 100%. And the "Live" page showed no hashrate running for my account. Deleting app for now. Need better assurance that my hashrate is not being lost and/or hijacked and a more detailed explanation why it must be run in admin mode.

Really sorry for your inconvenience, would be great if you can send us the logs so we can get to the bottom of this and fix. Without the logs its really hard to put a finger on the possible cause (dual CPU or operating system compatibility could be on the list to name a few..), were you mining in all coins mode or did you choose specific coins?
What happens when WinMiner is down
We have built WinMiner in a way that in a case it ceases to operate (e.g. a crash) for whatever reason, the miners can continue to work and they do so for the benefit of the user. Therefore, in the situation you described, your CPU was working to increase your profits even though WinMiner was not running.
(BTW You dont have to take our word for it, you can simply run a test, kill WInMiner, then let the miners continue to work and check the balance after 10 minutes)
Live dashboard
This was released a few days ago and like any infant has to walk before it can run J That means that there are still issues in its operation and sometimes it may report an online rig as being offline. We are ironing out the issues with the dashboard but in the meantime, when in doubt check the WinMiner app window for the real data.
Admin mode
Some miners require admin mode to be run effectively, so to get best performance we recommend running WinMiner in admin mode.
Hope this addresses your questions and concerns - let us know if you need further clarifications.
Looking forward to having you back on WinMiner
