failed to start WinRing0 driver: "WinRing0x64.sys not found"

DeanLemans commented 1 month ago

OS & Version:

Windows 11, Gupax v1.4.2

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

If Gupax is crashing, please paste the file here: Gupaxx is not crashing

when starting xmrig I get a message that winring0 is not found. I am using version 1.4.2 and I used the gupaxx-v1.4.2-windows-x64-bundle.zip

and yes I ran it as administrator, on the gupaxx.exe in the folder. and I also added the folder to the windows firewall exceptions.

reinstalled the zip again and extracted it for the second time. I still get the same error.

This issue comes from xmrig. There are some results for it. https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/issues?q=is%3Aissue+WinRing+

Possible solutions:

put the file https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/blob/master/bin/WinRing0/WinRing0x64.sys in the same directory as xmrig binary.
install Open Hardware Monitor
disable secure boot

Please try.

tested on: windows 11

can confirm that downloading and copying the https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/blob/master/bin/WinRing0/WinRing0x64.sys into the gupaxx-v1.5.1-windows-x64-bundle\XMRig folder fixes the issue.

but why isnt the WinRing0x64.sys file included by default? is this a XMRig issue?

and if so can you maby consider including it by default? https://github.com/Cyrix126/gupaxx/issues/21
