After successfully running the GUI-miner a couple of days, suddenly after a restart I am not able to open the miner. After double clicking I see the Koinos Miner processes appearing in Task Manager under Background Services, but the app doesn't open up in desktop.

Also in the Event Log the following Warning is being raised each time I try to open the miner app: The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID {2593F8B9-4EAF-457C-B68A-50F6B8EA6B54} and APPID {15C20B67-12E7-4BB6-92BB-7AFF07997402} to the user DESKTOP-xxxx\xxxx SID (xxxx) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC) running in the application container Unavailable SID (Unavailable). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.

System: Windows 10 Pro

Expected Behavior

GUI-Miner application opening up

Actual Behavior

Steps to Reproduce

1- Install the GUI miner 2- Double click the app to open 3- Check Task manager to see if the processes are running 4- Check Event Log if there is a warning raised

Looks like the issue gets resolved if you completely remove Koinos Miner from Software and also remove the Koinos Miner folder in APPDATA folder.

Complete reinstall worked.
