probably a user error - bashcat190 - 05-17-2024

I am a first time user just messing around and when I attempt to start hashcat on windows 11 then I get the following message:

hashcat (v6.2.6) starting

* Device #1: WARNING! Kernel exec timeout is not disabled.
            This may cause "CL_OUT_OF_RESOURCES" or related errors.
            To disable the timeout, see: https://hashcat.net/q/timeoutpatch

I did the wddm_timeout_patch.reg steps and still get the same error

What is your command you're entering? Also please post hashcat -I

Not sure if you just wanted me to put in "hashcat -I" but when I did it only replied "starting in backend information mode"

If it isn't starting your attack or even producing any information I'd say you have an issue with your drivers. What is your PC's hardware? I would start by installing any GPU drivers and see if hashcat -I produces any results. It is detecting 2 devices but obviously crashing by the looks of things.

I just updated the NVidia drivers that were updated as of 9 May and I have this machine
MSI - Infinite RS Gaming Desktop - Intel Core i9-13900KF - 32GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 - 2TB SSD + 2TB HD

You have any ideas on anything I could try?

It's the stupid Windows 10/11 OpenCL runtime they are bundling into DirectX now. It causes a crash on launch that isn't resolved yet. Adding --backend-ignore-opencl to your command and just using CUDA will allow hashcat to function fine until we figure out how to avoid or perhaps uninstall the conflicting runtime.
