i applied both the ctrl+c and made the wait time longer, now it just takes longer to crash. I have found that i can manually "x" close t-rex with A.M. open and all is well, a.m. just sees it as a "miner not running" and will restart it. so its def something in the "stop" command causing the crash. Again, as long as i dont use a.m. to "stop" it, it never blackscreen reboots.
There is likely a small difference between the behavior when the mining software notice you close the mining console window compared to when Awesome Miner sending the close signal to the mining software.

I assume you run T-Rex as Administrator in order to get the LHR unlock feature. Do you get the same crash behavior if you uncheck the box for Administrator and also try with the Ctrl+C mode enabled?

I tried to uncheck "run as admin" but trex just errors out asking to be run as admin to unlock gpu.
There is actually one more scenario that would be of interest to test here. What happens if you first click the Stop button in Awesome Miner, then click the X-button to close the T-Rex mining within within the next 1-2 seconds. Do you still get the same issue?

Was it only with T-Rex you run into this issue?

rig did not crash after hitting "stop" then jumping right over and clicking the "x". Have not tried with other miners.
There will be a new implementation for the close down behavior of mining software running with Admin permissions in the next release. Once available, please enable the "Ctrl+C mode" in the Options dialog, Mining Settings section, and give it a try.

While i am very appreciative to have seen the update notes about terminating the mining process, unfortunately it is still crashing.
