Hi Everyone,
First post on the forum, started mining as a hobby a few months ago.
Changed to PhoenixMiner over the weekend as Claymore crashed out after a few minutes when using the EthLargement pill [I have an 1080TI in my rig].
PhoenixMiner doesn't crash when on the pill and the hashrates are also a bit higher, so far so good [apart from when Windows Defender ignores the fact that PhoenixMiner is added to the exclusions].
The issue I'm having is that every now and then the reported hashrate on nanopool drops to 0 and stays there until I reboot the miner.
The start_miner.bat I'm using looks like below:

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

PhoenixMiner.exe -pool eu1.nanopool.org:9999 -wal 0xe"myethadress"19e2e58/gaming1

Do I miss something from the bat file?

The rig is running windows 10 64 bit.

Any insight as to where I go wrong is appreciated!
