Miner doesn't start

Mining

Hi all,

I’m trying to start mining Zcash on my laptop as a test, but the miner doesn’t start. I mined some other coins witout any trouble, but with Zcash it’s not working.
I have a Windows 10 laptop with a Nvidia 940MX GPU, and tried the EWBF Zcash Miner and Claymore miner.
I tried to join the Flypool. After filling in the settings (with the right servers, wallet address etc.) in the flypool.bat file and want to execute it the file opens and turns off immediately.
I excluded the maps of the miner in my antivirus software, tried different intensity levels and changed the virtual memory settings, but same result all the time.
Does anyone has an idea what the issue could be and have suggestions what I could try more?

Thanks in advance!

try the DSTM miner is simpler and faster, and post your start.bat config

I get the error message:
nvml.dll failed.
I have the newest Nvidia software for my graphic card installed and also installed Visual C++ Redistributable for visual studio.
Any idea what it could be?
