please show output of
hashcat -I
anyway, if possible try running hashcat from another partition, sometimes windows is a little bit bitchy when running such programs from the systemdrive

I'm having the same problem on a laptop with Windows 11 and a RTX 3070 Ti. No output regardless of command. I don't have a second partition so I tried to run it from USB drive with same result.

well this seems more like a driver / software problem
it looks like hashcat isn't really starting, but instantly crashing
first please try latest beta from
https://hashcat.net/beta/ as the original release is quite old
please try installing CUDA SDK all along with a supported driver version (see
https://docs.nvidia.com/deploy/cuda-comp...index.html)
after that reboot and try hashcat -I again

This was after a fresh install of CUDA Toolkit 12.6. I've checked that the NVIDIA driver is compatible and ran commands that seem to verify that CUDA is working as it should. I tried the hashcat beta, but got the same results as before. It doesn't crash instantly though. Both with the stable and beta release, it takes about 10 seconds from entering the command until the prompt is returned.

Just to let you know, I found the solution in this post from last year. Seemed to solve the problem nicely!
