Pooler's CPUMINER (minerd.exe) 64 bit and Windows 8.1

[ganth]

Anyone successfully running minerd.exe on Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 operating systems?  Since I upgraded my OS's I can no longer run minerd.exe.  I've tried compatibility mode and various tweaks with no success.  I receive no errors to screen or event logs.  Machines just shutdown in a minute or two like the power plug was pulled.  If I boot off an image with Windows 7 it runs fine.

In this case you should downgrade your operating system from "Windows 8.1" to seven.

There's a CPU/GPU miner on the Windows 8 store by "GroupFabric". I registered here to thank them for making a Windows RT version.

Thanks.  I checked it out but it appears it only supports SHA256/Bitcoin mining and not alternate Scrypt based currencies where my interest lies.
