I'm glad to hear that! Now, we also know what could be preventing other customers from mining when they encounter this issue as well.FDDanny wrote: ↑Tue Jun 29, 2021 8:29 pm Thanks Steve, after digging in a lot more it was a two fold issue.
Norton had to be completely shutdown despite configurations to exempt the mining software that would have done CPU mining. Note Symantec now has an Early Adopter Program and they have added crypto mining data to their platform. So my GPU mining is running no issues with Norton 360.
The second culprit was Malwarebytes. That had to be uninstalled and stripped with an uninstaller tool. Only then could I run CPU mining with xmrig.
Until I work out the issues with Norton hating XMrig ill stick to GPU mining for now. It was just an added way to keep my system working at its peak capacity.
Thanks for following up! The good news is my official mining rig is here so soon I will switch over from playing around on my laptop to a dedicated multi card gpu miner.
