Im having problem with setup of miners on windows 10 laptop. I followed several setup guides, downloaded the drivers, edited my pool address and clicked Start Moonlander 2 file. Terminal opens and miner is not recognized and not auto-start. My terminal screen lists my pool and then after that it says hit key to continue. If I touch any key, the terminal screen disappears. Anyone have this problem? I have tried it several times with different miners as I have six. Any real help would be appreciated.
By the sound of what you are describing windows defender has removed bfgminer.exe, check if it is in the installation directory!!! If not, then there are MANY posts discussing this and what to do (you must let defender ignore the bfgminer directory). BTW, it is ALWAYS good to check that windows has recognized all your MLD2s: goto --> device manager --> COM & LPT ports --> check for "Silicon labs USB to UART bridge (COM ##)" --> there should be one line for each MLD2, each assigned a different com port. If there are none, or fewer lines with this then MLD2s than bfgminer won't find some or all. But I think your problem is that defender removed your bfgminer.exe
