i left my miner running yesterday after the update to 0.8.54 when i returned today the miner had stopped being responsive to commands and it had lost sync with the network at somepoint yesterday.
upon closing and restarting it said i needed to recompile so i deleted all in the appdata folder and tried to resync
i tried reloading but no connections found in about 5 mins so i restarted a couple more times then just left it open ...
after about 20 mins of no connections and it being 3 days behind i have just seen it change i have 2 connection and its resyncing slowly in case anyone has had same problem you just need to be patient it will resync slowly
Hopefully i will be back on soon hunting for my first reward
