Did you adjust the gpedit.msc settings with Lock Pages as the config.txt suggests?

Same on Mac can someone help me?

[puchat3k]

I have same issue. Windows 10, 32GBs of RAM. I did adjust the Lock Pages policy.

[imrecsoka]

I have noticed that by the time the benchmarking is done for multipool miner or nicehash miner then i get the MEMORY ALLOC FAILED: VirtualAlloc failed. errors and then the results are skewed. How is it possible to completely always lock the memory or whatever the term is ? I have allocated my user access to this i the local policy editor area... its just that after a few attempts of benchmarks runs then the errors come through almost as if there is a memory leak.

not help me ntrights -u %USERNAME% +r SeLockMemoryPrivilege

TRY

"use_slow_memory" : "warn" or "use_slow_memory" : "always"

^^

thx me => Wms22R5oyfhBseVksNMNAtGxUs9zJRdk4Z2gwmopsu3yAiAAabcUvyYh4tGtH1Zy2xSBsmBZdAQck669zt5kJ7vS2vVQ4qmm6

[ZombiePm]

"use_slow_memory" : "always" helps me

[ReekoD]

Я молю тебя, мой друг

[alextrezvy]

I have the same warning: "MEMORY ALLOC FAILED: VirtualAlloc failed". I've verified the user is allowed to lock pages in 'gpedit' console. 2ReekoD: bad joke.

1: disable user account control setting by sliding the slider to the bottom, available from control panel/user accounts. 2: run nicehashminerlegacy.exe and bin\xmr-stak\xmr-stak.exe as administrator by selecting properties of those executables and clicking the run as administrator checkbox in the compatibility tab voiala, works.
