You manage 1500 GPU Rigs and you must weekly reboot windows? you are a really bad miner. My windows10 runs faster then linux (ethos), more stable than linux, i need no reboot for over 2 month (no miner restarts or what ever).

Do the right job, then windows works fantastic. i work with windows 1703, 1803, 1809 and alle works perfect. my windows make no updates, you must find the right solution Wink

Windows Hashrate 185mh with 6x RX 570, no hardware errors
Ethos Hashrate 178mh with 6x RX 570, i must clock down the cards. with the same speed as in windows, the miner stops working after several hours.

This is my opinion and my experience, i am not a linux hater, but i can´t read this shit about windows, from people who do not work properly with windows.

I love all you keyboard warriors that talk shit with no practical experience. Im so bad I run one of the largest crypto fams in North America! Good job with your couple rigs running Windows. Im sorry you dont know enough about linux to tweak and configure it for performance, but you really shouldnt claim something is better just because you dont understand how to use the other product.

Show me your Windows miners that can do this:

LOL yes and you talk shit with no practical experience XD

You need 2 bitcointalk accounts? Lost your password and can´t recover?

245d runtime, my rigs can do that easily, but i update my miners with every new release. so normal runtime is 1 - 2 month easily.

The fix is really easy. Run Linux. Windows is crap for mining and it wont get any better.

You will no longer have:

Driver problems
Reliability problems
Windows update breaking things
Random blue screens
Licensing issues

Example of one of my linux miners:

[/root]:# uptime
14:22:55 up 152 days, 20:40, 2 users, load average: 0.78, 0.80, 1.06
[Agent: 11152 (Running) Total HR: [2.71Kh/s] Miners running [1] GPUs [AAAAAA]]

This list is completely bullshit, but yes you are the man dude lol

And why the hell you know how many rigs i have? I have never write it, in this thread. Oh you didn´t know that? So why you believe i have only a couple?
You say you manage 1500 rigs, but your answers let me think a little bit different XD

I use O&O ShutUp 10 (on 6 rigs) and find it to be very good.

I tried everything. Editing the registry (regedit), changing the policies... Nothing helped.

I'm now using this one:
http://www.site2unblock.com/win-updates-disabler/

Updates stopped so far.

I also faced same problem on my windows 10. But after using is my problem is solved very easily. I was very happy when auto updates is stopped.

my windows 10 is updating itself. and claymore mining isnt working in new version. everytime it is updating i retruned back.

i am closing all updates. i tried to stop services.msc, gpedit.msc. but everytime it finds a way and is starting own by own. i couldnt stop to update it.

is there any way to hardstop it?

or
is there anyway to mining with new version

anyone has with this trouble?

See this link, have tried this and solved in a couple of minutes : Disable Windows 10 Updates

easy answer that worked for me is on the windows update service on the Log On tab you set it to .\guest and make up a wrong pw. everytime it will try to run it will fail logon and not start.

you will no longer have:

less access to windows only software (certain miners, nicehash, etc)

all of the problems you listed for windows are not real problems and easily solved or avoided.

Driver problems --> dont install shit drivers and properly uninstall any old drivers (try and tell me how linux nvidia drivers are in any way better/more stable, I'll hear your response when i'm finished laughing)
Reliability problems --> again none. this only becomes a problem with people who overclock too much or have conflicting driver versions that werent properly uninstalled
Windows update breaking things --> can be turned off without too much trouble. and even ubuntu has pesky update warnings and will auto-install if you dont stop it. linux isnt a magical savior here
Random blue screens --> doesnt happen on stable setups. see the same point about reliability
Licensing issues --> windows 10 is free to use. there is ZERO functional change by simply not activating the software. about the only thing you cant do is change the desktop background. Shocked

and 152 days uptime on a simple system with 1 GPU thats likely stock clocked? Huh

much wow. very impress Roll Eyes

.

Actually I manage about 1500 GPU rigs. 350 of em are Windows. Guess which ones require the most attention and weekly reboots? (hint: its not linux)

My advice comes from having more mining experience than any 500 average people combined on this forum.

lower hashrates - no? Go ahead and try and prove it
poor overclocking tools - My machines are all upclocked via simple scripts
poor bios flashing tools - Polaris BIOS editor works just fine in linux
less access to windows only software (certain miners, nicehash, etc) - Nicehash is for the lazy and ignorant and my linux machines each support at least 18 different miners with the ability to add more. There is nothing useful on Windows that doesnt work in linux.

P.S. Go count the threads of people with windows problems versus linux and tell me windows is the superior choice....

This works for me...
Windows 10 in various scenarios will turn windows update back if all you do is disable the service.
To disable updates in Windows 10 is go to the Windows update Service property window, disable it, then go to the Log On tab at the top and click This account: and type ".\Guest"(no quotes), clear the password fields and click apply.
You will get a message saying Guest has been enabled to do this, but the hitch is that "Guest" doesn't have permission to do it so Windows update is basically disabled no matter what unless you switch it back which is just as easy.

I’ve already seen first hand that hashrates are lower on Linux. My cards are all setup via BIOS and once I find settings that work and are stable, the BIOS gets flashed and I don’t have to mess with software clocks. Cards in windows run 28MH, load the same exact cards up in Linux (ethos or otherwise) and they run 25/26Mh.

Linux is slower for me on ETH. And MANY people will confirm the same.

The main take away from my post is that Windows is not inherently problematic like you suggest. It’s just not. It’s very stable if you don’t do stupid things and know to disable updates and have clean driver installs. I never have to reboot my machines for ANY of the problems you listed. I’ve only had reboots due to power outages, or stopping the miner to try different software or drivers or whatever (I’m a tinkerer). If your windows systems require weekly Trevor’s then you’re doing it wrong and your systems aren’t truly stable. Too much OC, software issues caused by incomplete driver installs/cleans, software issues caused by conflicting software packages, bad hardware, take your pick.

Thx for your input man !

I was looking for someone with exp in massive mining. I run a small farm and win10 is a psycho princess that's constantly in needs of attention. I hate it, my life is hell because of those vision-less and under-competent lobotomized engineers working at M$ !

I am looking for a linux setup, but my main concern is security. It is so easy to hack linux that I'm afraid to wake-up one morning with a farm of zombie rigs, or worst, be clogged with trojans all over the farm...

The minue I feal I can trust Lunix, I will ditch this disease trash of OS that is win 10.

Any input on that would be appreciated.

Had this issue myself too, you don't have the option to disable them through the windows 10 interface. However, you can disable them through windows' services.

This is the guide I followed myself

Looking for campaign manager? Contact icopress!

Windows 10 wants to make sure people does updates, since updates means better safety. Period.
There are in-built ways if you want to avoid this, but they are not easy to find.

I think that easiest way is Pause Updates. At windows updates -> advanced options, you can pause the updates for a month and a bit. After a month you should really do a short maintenance and install those missing updates and Win10 will be happy again. Just make sure you also do an update before doing this.

Another possible option is to declare your connection "metered", but I am not 100% certain if that helps out of the box or you need more settings.

I only have 4 GPUs running, so maybe it's just me...

Driver problems - Never had one.
Reliability problems - Never had one.
Windows update breaking things - The tool fixed it, so.. No problems there.
Random blue screens - Never had one.
Licensing issues - Never had one. Had an unused license.

There's no reason to switch to Linux. For newbies Linux might be even more difficult to understand.
