Re: MoreEpochs mod v2.5 [Claymore ETH miner 15] Win/AMD+Nvidia. Lowest 0.6% devfee!
If you are using -strap and/or -rxboost command-line options and have problems with miner's strap driver after latest Windows update, here is solution.
You have to remove update KB5004237 (thanks to shadowofthedamn for reporting the issue) that prevent strap driver from starting and disable automatic windows updates to prevent Windows from installing problematic update again.
1) Go to update history, write "update" in search field on taskbar and choose View your update history from the search results:
2) Check if KB5004237 installed on your system and if it is then click on Uninstall updates
3) Select update KB5004237 from list, right click and choose Uninstall. Click Yes, wait update to uninstall and click Restart computer.
4) After restart, download Windows Update Blocker 1.6 from https://www.sordum.org/9470/windows-update-blocker-v1-6/. Scroll down to download section, there are hashes of files inside archive and virustotal report.
Download archive Wub.zip and extract to desktop.
If you have Windows 10 64 bit (most people have 64 bit version of the OS), run Wub_x64.exe as admin and choose to Disable updates, Protect Services Settings and click Apply Now
5) Update Blocker should disable updates and now it's window looks like this. Close Update Blocker by clicking on the cross:
6) Now let's check if windows update services are disabled. Right click on the Start button, and choose Computer Managment:
7) Select Services on the left and scroll down on the right side of the windows to check that both windows update services are not running and disabled:
Close Computer Managment and go to Updates, it now should look like this with "Some setting are managed by your organisation" and "Your organisation has turned off automatic updates":
Done. Problematic update KB5004237 removed and automatic windows updates disabled. This is temporary solution. If I'll find better solution, I'll post information about it in this topic.
