Anyone having issues with Awesome Miner not showing up after this new Nvidia update?

As soon as I updated Nvidia, I went to restart Awesome Miner and it pops up in my taskbar at the bottom of the screen but no app ever shows up. Did a few reboots, uninstalled and reinstalled but the problem persists.

Thought maybe its my system but I went ahead and tried to manually run T-REX but that is also having issues with this driver from the forum thread and error reports I just seen. Seems I can only get NBMiner running manually for ETH mining but no Awesome Miner at all or many other standalone miners.
I've tried out the latest nVidia 460 drivers and at least Awesome Miner starts and shows nVidia GPU's.
1) Which nVidia GPU do you have? I've only tried with a 2000-series GPU so far.
2) Can you please send me the Awesome Miner log file?
%localappdata%\AwesomeMiner\AwesomeMiner.log
You can send me via:

At the moment I am just running 1x 2080ti and 2x 1080ti's. I am having all kinds of issues with other software since this update, basically some apps....Awesome Miner included will load but not draw on the screen. So basically you can see it in the taskbar load, see it also over in the quick launch bar on the right but you click on them and nothing pops up. I am running on the latest Windows 10 20H2 version, could also be the issue, I figured try it out but maybe as usual this is another bugged out windows deployment.

Let me grab the log and I will send it to you guys, appreciate the help. Looking at it...seeing a bunch of failures but I am not up on what could be the cause. Have even my antivirus off in case but its always had an exclusion to all folders AM needs so don't think that could be the issue.

Thanks for the log file - I will get back to you on the support request you sent.

I did notice that Awesome Miner is unable to read the nVidia fan speed on the latest 460.79 drivers. I've made an update for this and a new release will be made available later today.

Appreciate the help, maybe with some hope the new update might set my system right with Awesome Miner. I been with you guys since early 2017 and honestly this is the only time I ever had any issue and I suspect its probably just a combination of updates from Windows mixing with the new Nvidia driver. For the time being I got my miners manually on ETH with NBMiner so I am good for the moment.

If you need any more logs or anything from my end to help out just let me know, I will check here and the email address I attached in my support message. No worries though, always said AM been my best purchase in crypto and still remains that way for me.
