Having issue after windows update, miner can no longer restart itself when thread crash or manual restart time. Miner shows restarting waiting 15s but after 15s CMD closes. I also have had random CMD closure after a few days or sometimes less than 12hours of running.

Anyone with the same issues? Or know a fix ?  (its getting annoying waking up or coming home to find no errors messages in windows or in the miner log, but the program had just turned off and will not restart.)

   This seems like Windows Defender issue. Turn off Windows Defender completely (it can be done with gpedit.msc) and see if the issues go away.



Dear developers. Do you know why every month the ETH hashrate decreases a bit on 1070-1080Ti video cards? About 2-3 MX per year. On AMD cards and on 1066 - this does not happen, everything is ok there. Thank you in advance!

I also wants to know answer this question. In the first half of this year my 6 1070 have 192Mh. Now they have 183.8Mh. Moreover I decreased MC, because with MC I used before, hashrate is even less. But there is nothing incorrect shares, so looks like hardware works good.

   This is a long-standing problem with Nvidia 10x0 cards. As it started above certain size of DAG and gradually lowers the hashrate with each new epoch, it seems to be related to the TLB size (yes, TLB strikes again). At this point the only workaround is to increase the power limit (and thus indirectly the core clock) but whether it is worth it depends on your electricity prices. We are testing some theoretical fixes for this problem but the results are not very encouraging. Nvidia could probably fix this with driver update by increasing the page size as AMD did in the past but it is not very likely that they will bother to do it.


Thank you for the suggestion, I tried it, disabled defender, ran program, no restart, same issue no change. I also went through disabled all other types of software and network related policies, tried again, no change. I guess ill bite the bullet and do a full wipe and reinstall of windows.
