Troubleshoot in layers: file integrity, Windows security, application startup, device detection, network connection, accepted work, and long-term
Troubleshoot in layers: file integrity, Windows security, application startup, device detection, network connection, accepted work, and long-term stability.
Check the exact Windows Security event, file source, signature, required runtime, permissions, and log location. Re-download only from a verified source.
Practical note: Do not solve an unknown detection by disabling all protection.
Restart, verify Device Manager, return clocks to default, update to a supported driver, and confirm the selected engine supports the device.
Practical note: Test one device at a time when multiple GPUs are installed.
Confirm date and time, DNS, firewall rules, address format, algorithm, endpoint, and network stability. Read the server message in the log.
Practical note: Persistent rejection can indicate wrong parameters, excessive tuning, latency, or an incompatible job.
The worker may not be submitting accepted work, or the dashboard may not have updated yet. Check the log first.
Mining behavior can trigger detections, but every alert still requires source and file verification.
Power delivery, heat, drivers, memory instability, or aggressive tuning are common possibilities. Return to defaults and test systematically.
This page has one primary intent: unMineable Troubleshooting for Windows. Download verification, Windows preparation, first setup, field-by-field configuration, safety assessment, and fault diagnosis are maintained as separate guides so that each change can be tested independently.
A mining result must be interpreted with local logs, accepted work, hardware temperature, total system power, network state, service terms, and payout-network details. A displayed hashrate alone does not establish stability or profitability.
Keep the Windows version, driver version, mining engine, algorithm, worker name, test duration, accepted and rejected work, temperatures, clock behavior, and error lines. Remove or mask wallet and account details before sharing a log.
Important: Never place a wallet seed phrase or private key in mining software, a configuration file, screenshot, or support message.
The unMineable Software Guides Editorial Team separates documented facts from observations made during a limited Windows test. Changing details such as supported assets, algorithms, fees, thresholds, endpoints, and versions are checked against current first-party pages rather than frozen into unsupported claims.

Read the log in chronological order. First locate the engine version and detected device, then the selected algorithm and endpoint, followed by authorization and share messages. A local hashrate line only proves that a calculation loop is running; an accepted-work message shows that the remote endpoint recognized useful work. Rejected, stale, authorization, DNS, timeout, memory-allocation, and device-reset messages describe different failures and should not be treated as one generic connection problem.
Copy only the few lines surrounding the first error. Remove payout addresses, account aliases, local user names, folder paths, IP addresses, and tokens before sharing diagnostics. Never post a seed phrase or private key; legitimate mining configuration does not require either secret.
Before starting, know how to close both the graphical wrapper and its child mining engine. After stopping, verify in Task Manager that sustained CPU or GPU activity has ended. If the system remains unstable, return clock and power settings to defaults, restart Windows, review protection history, and confirm that no scheduled task automatically relaunches the process.
After uninstalling or ending a test, review startup entries, scheduled tasks, download folders, extracted miner directories, firewall changes, and antivirus exclusions. Keep a file only when its purpose and origin are known. A broad exclusion that survives after the associated program is removed creates unnecessary exposure.
No fixed earnings, payback period, safe temperature, hashrate, payout time, or electricity result applies to every machine. Hardware revisions, cooling, ambient temperature, driver versions, algorithms, service rules, asset prices, fees, and local energy tariffs change independently.
Use the official service pages for current supported assets, networks, thresholds, algorithms, endpoints, and fees. Use the CPU, GPU, motherboard, and power-supply manufacturers for device limits. This explains a verification workflow; it cannot certify a third-party file or replace financial, electrical, legal, or hardware advice.
Recheck the file and effective settings after every update. Keep the original test notes so a later change in behavior can be compared with a known baseline instead of memory.
