Won't run as admin

[N6REJ]

I've got permission set to admin and when it does the tuning it says in red that admin is not on?

not sure what to do.

Did you right click on the .bat file and Run As Admin?

I have the same issue when restarting the mining process after previously running it without issue. I've found restarting the system, and then right-clicking and running as admin will work. It seems like it just ends in a weird state if you kill the process, then try to restart with admin privileges again.

I'll try that, nothing else works. @WyvernTKC yes. Even set each .exe to make sure.
it's something to do with winring0

same error.
incase it helps here's the full screen...

This only happens with cpuminer-gr

I have the exact same problem. Windows 10 with Ryzen 5 5600x. XMRig, Nicehash/XMRig have no problems running WinRing0 but could not get it working with cpuminer-gr after tinkering with it for a few hours.

Note: Per #155 as well, I uninstalled any Razer software, and checked via a variety of methods that nothing else was accessing WinRing0. There seems to be something specific to this binary/build that is causing issues.

I've got a solution but I can't figure out how to restart the service... as soon as I can figure that part out I'll post the video & code on how to fix it.
