Issue with xmrig Compilation and Execution Stability on windows

[makalamaba]

I am writing to report two persistent issues that I have encountered while compiling and running the xmrig application. Despite updating dependent libraries, these problems continue to affect the program's functionality across different compilers.

Issue 1: After successfully compiling and running xmrig, the program consistently hangs following the display of its version information. The duration of this hang varies significantly, ranging from approximately one minute to indefinite periods exceeding ten minutes or more. This unexpected freeze prevents the application from proceeding with its intended operation.

Issue 2: In instances where the application manages to progress beyond the version info stage, it displays successful allocation of memory pages and creation of processes but abruptly terminates abnormally. Initially, I suspected compatibility issues or bugs in external dependencies such as openssl, libuv, and hwloc. However, even after updating these libraries to their latest versions, the problem persists.

Furthermore, I have recompiled the software using both Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC 2022) and the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC 13.2.0), yet the aforementioned issues remain unresolved under both environments.

Could you kindly look into these matters to help identify the root cause and provide guidance on potential solutions? Detailed log files or any additional diagnostic information can be furnished upon request.

Thank you for your attention and assistance with this issue.

I tried changing CMAKE options like ASM, MSR and some algorithms but the problem still exists

You need to set WITH_ASM to ON, because right now it forces RandomX to not use JIT (you have -JIT in red in XMRig log).

@makalamaba did that resolve your issue?
