at some windows 10 users, it may be that the "webchaind.exe" is recognize as a virus. but it isn't a virus that was already explained by albertod.
i had the problem: when i start the new wallet update it will be installed without any problems but if I start the wallet it wants to extract the new updated "webchaind.exe" and then it pops up a bug screen while trying to syncronize. something with java error has been showen. i think its because the "webchaind.exe" gets blocked by windows 10.
i checked the folder in user/appdata/local/webchainwallet and i realize that the "webchaind.exe" was missing in the folder. so it was automatically deleted by windows 10 without any information given.
if u have the same problems just make sure your anti-virus real-time scanner is turned off while installing the new "webchainwallet.exe" and after you installed, don't start the wallet directly, just make sure you add an exception rule for the executable "webchaind.exe" to your anti-virus tool! you can also add all ".exe files of webchain to have a safe mining success. but be sure u have the right files from webchain github.
after u added "webchaind.exe" as a non virus to your antivirus tool or windows defender, you can enable your anti-virus real-time scanner again and everything works fine. no worries and good luck by the way
Awesome, thank you this fixed my weird wallet issues.
i'm glad that i could help you.
and btw. i forget to say for the people who are totally new to mining: the folder AppData is an hidden folder!
windows hides many files and folders by default, preventing users from deleting or modifying files they shouldn’t touch. but you can make windows show these hidden files by changing a single setting.
Windows 10:Click the “View” tab on File Explorer’s ribbon and click the “Hidden items” checkbox in the Show/hide section. File Explorer will immediately show hidden files and will remember this setting until you change it.
after this step you will be able to see the AppData folder.
Show Hidden Files on
Windows 7:This option is a little more hidden on Windows 7, where it’s buried in the Folder Options window.
Click the “Organize” button on Windows Explorer’s toolbar and select “Folder and search options” to open it.
Click the “View” tab at the top of the Folder Options window.
Select “Show hidden files, folders, and drives” under Hidden files and folders. Click “OK” to save the new setting.
This options window is also accessible on Windows 8 and 10 just click the “Options” button on the View toolbar in File Explorer. But it’s quicker to easily toggle hidden items on or off using the ribbon.
This window is also accessible via the Control Panel on any version of Windows. Head to Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Folder Options. On Windows 8 and 10, it’s named “File Explorer Options” instead.
example: C:\"YOUR WINDOWSNAME"\AppData <-- hidden folder
it's always good to know how things works
