And "Failed to initialize the CUDA platform: CudaError: Could not initialize the NVML library" on Win 10.
For the issue about "Could not initialize the NVML library": From what I've seen, Bminer tries to load 'nvml.dll' from the folder 'C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVSMI\'.

Older nVidia drivers used to install nvml.dll in this folder, but with more recent nVidia drivers, the file nvml.dll is only installed to the folder 'C:\Windows\System32\'. If you manually copy
'C:\Windows\System32\nvml.dll' to the folder 'C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVSMI\', Bminer should work.

@realbminer: The preferred solution would be to update Bminer to look for the file in the correct location. Thanks!

This works! Thank you.
