Thanks for sharing. One final request on this. Did you try to run the mining process as Administrator? Right click on the miner and select Properties. Go to the Environment section and check "Run mining process with Administrator privileges". Please let me know and then I will try to reach out to the Gminer developer about what their "Anti-hacking" system is doing here.
if you mean that I do that from Windows File Explorer - set the properties of the miner.exe file, then with admin privileges it dosn't start from Awesome Miner at all (both in diagnostics mode and mining mode):
