I'm trying to use Windows 10 to mine with one RX 580 MSI Armor OC video card. The card is recognized in device manager and GPU-Z. I downloaded both PhoenixMiner and Lolminer. I modified both batch files. Yet, when I double-click on either one it asks me to "press any key to continue," instead of mining.

Any reason why this isn't working?

1. Remove miner from Quarantine your OS defender.
2. Add a folder with miner to antivirus and firewall exclusions.
3. Change GPU Workload from Graphics to Compute mode in 'Radeon Software - Settings - Graphics - Advanced' to raise the hash from 7 mh to 25+.

Why not use NBminer and connect to any pool of your choice? This miner have no problems with any antivirus you may have running on your PC,it gives me no problem that phoenix miner is giving me before

Your anitvirus or defender deleting miner files allow access for miner then it should work. Download again and try again. if miner files all in one place and if you still getting that then there is error in your bat file. also dont forget run as administrator.

Use these settings, just install your wallet and you can change the name of the mining farm
The bat file must be located in the same folder as the PhoenixMiner.exe file
Perhaps your antivirus is deleting or blocking this file, change the antivirus settings
"
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

REM IMPORTANT: Replace the ETH address with your own ETH wallet address in the -wal option (Rig001 is the name of the rig)
PhoenixMiner.exe -pool ssl://eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -pool2 ssl://us1.ethermine.org:5555 -wal 0x123456789XXX.farm1

pause

Now I have tried putting the lolminer.exe file and.bat file for ETH into the Windows\System32 folder and running it from the cmd.exe prompt, but that's not working either. It just keeps showing my average speed at 7.74 mh/s. Doesn't look right at all. It just stays at an average speed of 7.73.

This makes zero sense. I watched about five different videos on YouTube and they all have their miners start no problem.

I did edit the existing file that came with the miner, and The same problem occurs when "pause" is there at the end.

A CMD.EXE window pops up and says, 'lolMiner.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Press any key to continue.

-- If I go to my lolMiner folder and click on the.exe application file, I get the same message. My batch file ends in .bat.

IF the window closes right after you open it its because the program has either exited or there was some error. Most like some command error. Your directory also can have a typo in it, won't find the executable file and it will just close.

Do what the above poster says, edit the BAT file and add PAUSE to the very end of the file. So put it on the last line, this time when you run it, even if there is an error it won't close the window and you can read what you are doing wrong.

Also check the directory because there could be some BAT file provided by the software that you can use, just need to edit the pool data. Most people do this instead of creating their own BAT file from scratch.

edit the batch file. Add "pause" in the next line.
Work in the error you now see.
