For new altcoin miners don't forget to do this:

1) Turn off Window Defender
if ON, some cases of hashrate dropped when WinDef doing scans and the software miner as a detected virus, it is a false alarm.

2) Don't forget to increase Virtual Memory size at least 16 GB, bigger is better
some low VM cases can make a crash or freeze for software miner even Window

3) Turn off sleep mode in the Window
if sleep mode in "ON" setting can make the software miner stop when "sleeping".

It is also worth to disable all updates and disable Windows recovering so that in the event of failures with electricity the system continues to boot up on its own.
