Hashcat hangs at Initializing backend runtime for device #X... "forever"

[dydx]

Hello,

I am using hashcat on Win10 (I tried in on my linux machine but I have no GPU there and no CPU device if found either). (The Win machine, being an older laptop I know it's not the optimal machine for hashcat but I just need to iterate over a few thousand passwords)


Unfortunately hashcat hangs "forever" at

Code:

Hashcat hangs at Initializing backend runtime for device #X...

"Forever" means 10-15 minutes which feels like an eternity (I have to loop over a bunch of hash modes and --truecrypt-keyfiles so 10 min startup is somewhat problematic). I have two devices (GPU and CPU) and it does not matter which one I pick with "-D".

Is this normal or is something wrong here?

These are my devices:

Code:

hashcat -I
hashcat (v6.1.1) starting...
