Normally I use Linux distros, but for the life of me I've tried everything!
 YES, for months I've searched in here unsuccessfully, different coins/ and tried ALL of youtube's methods configuring even a fresh install (UN-updated) only downloading VB after first trying in install latest attempt ccminer2.2.5 for pirl.

What happens:
- my command prompt will pop up for a split second only, acting like somethings still mis-configured (my guess) or defender kills it (tried adding folders/files/.exe's as exclusions too).

What I've tried:
- run as admin; disable firewall & defender; re-formatting & installing fresh licensed copy no updates - after updates; different GPU's with device drivers installed of course only to watch wonderful windows' new policy circumvent ALL win 10 PRO services I'd disabled be re-enabled and gtx installed drivers auto-replaced with microsofts proprietary vers. ... ...

Mobo= z270
ram=4g
GPU= 1060 6g zotac, or MSI, or whatever's laying around doesn't matter.

Plz help, I'd like to test-drive on my desktop b4 switching the rigs to un-tested stuff - Thnks in advance!
