No I did not, didnt even know there was one as the miner states it auto does it every 30s. where are the commands for this miner listed? I randomly found the watchdog cmd on page 29?

Also, side note. this one a friends miner ive been trying to get running. anyone have this issue ever?
Miner will mine on blockchain driver, but may display hashrate once or none at all. this is on win10 x64 build 1709 or 1809 (doesnt like 1803 at all)
if i load any of the more current driver ie: 18.3.4,18.5.1,18.6.1. miner just hangs when ran, last line seen on the screen is teamredminer.exe, it does the same with other miners. if I DDU and go back to blockchain drivers it still wont mine. I have to either reinstall windows or update windows then recover. this miner was running fine for months, its a dell inspirion 3847 turned 3gpu miner, the pc updated to 1803 and ever since no matter what i do, complete format, delete partitions, start fresh results are identical. ive mixed a matched the riser cables, pluged the gpu directly on the board, updated the bios to latest. ive never had this kind of issue where a fresh install wouldnt fix.

Also i took an image of the PC to revert back to 1709 faster, but i also downloaded the complete 1709 update 3GB file but when ran it auto skips and puts 1809, anyone know how to force an update from a microsoft direct file?
