Hi All

I am using Claymore 12.0 on Windows 10 Pro 64
I have few AMD (RX580) machines and I have few Nvidia (1080ti) machines
I have put a bat file to start Claymore's Miner automatically in:
~\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Some of the AMD and some of the Nvidia miners will not work and will throw the below error when the Claymore's Miner is started in the background (when the monitor is not connected):
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available

If i connect the monitor to that machine and restart the machine, the bat file will execute, Claymore Miner will run and no error messages will be displayed on the screen, so the machine can run for several days with no interruption. However, once the machine is restarted for whatever reason (Temporary electricity outage, windows updates, some GPU crahses, among many other reasons) the miner will never work until i connect the monitor to that machine and restart it while the monitor is connected then it will work. I can disconnect the monitor after that and the machine will stay up and running for a week or so.

Has anyone faced such issues?
How did you solve them?
I tried DDU the existing drivers, and i tried installing the latest ones, it has never helped
Other machines with similar configuration have no issues, but what i notice is that every month one more machine starts to behave in this way, to me it seems something happens after windows updates. I can't uninstall those updates because windows will reinstall them again. Although i have the Pro version i can only postpone the updates up to one month not more, so that wont really help

Any good solution please?
