Re: PhoenixMiner 3.0c: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Windows)

Semi related.  I'm still running on 2.9 and I don't see any reason to upgrade to 3.0 yet.  But I face one recurring issue that just won't seem to stop.  It runs best on windows fall creators update.  Problem is, windows continually tries to install spring update where the hashrate on 2.9 tanks by about half.  I have tried to disable update, even to the point of telling it to sign on to a different acct, but it STILL periodically turns itself on, and somehow updates itself.  Any ideas how to disable it once and for all?

Perhaps folks can possibly help me as I'm stumped:
Few months back, I was getting an average of 240-250mhs with my 8 card rig.  Same Bios and setup at the time.  
As of recently though I'm averaging about 18-19 per card with one random gpu showing 30ish.  

I've tried to reinstall windows, turn off auto updates (heard that fall creators update can slow the hashes down).  
I tried the blockchain drivers, was pushing 150mhs for the same 8 card rig, and installed the new adrenaline drivers and enabled compute (that's where I got that extra 10mhs with the one random card).

I thought the difficulty went up and that's why they were running worse, but I'm reading people are still pulling about 30mhs with their Powercolor Red Devil RX580's 8GB models.  (I have 16 with hynix memory and 12 with micron memory.  Both groups have modded bios, which before allowed them to each run around 28-30mhs each).  

Any insight as to why they would've dropped?  I picked Phoenix Miner because I've heard good things about them, and the lower dev fee.  

Here is a pic of one of the 8 rigs for example:

Stupid question, but I just joined today (switched from ethpool), currently supplying around 230 MH.  My question is how long until I see any credit towards my account?  I'm a novice to mining in general, and just wanted to know how long I need to invest into this before I actually see ANY return at all.  Thanks for any help. 

Your balance updates every time a block is hit.  You just happened to join when we are stuck on a difficult block.  We usually hit at least 1 block a day.
That happens to be my luck all the time.  That's fine though, I'll tough it out, and hopefully it'll pick up again.  Thanks for the input Smiley.
