Try the following:

-Right click and run the application through "run as administrator" option.

-Disable the Windows Defender for some time and see if the miner works when it's disabled.


EDIT: it seems like it's a common issue if you Google it (and it's not just with the miner), you may find possible solutions here as well:

I think you should first try what I suggested (as most probably, running as an administrator should work out fine), if that doesn't work, then look at the solutions provided by Microsoft support.

Running it as admin, made the minier crash for some reason, and yeah I checked the same link before...

Anyways, I was tired of searching for the solution, so reinstalled windows, and all seems fine at the moment. Hopefully, I found a way to disable windows updates too

How is your rig doing now?

and How did you disable windows update?
