Hashcat stuck at "Initialized device kernels and memory"

[ztilB]

Hi, I'm using hashcat in command prompt as administrator in Windows 10.

When I enter the following line in version 6.2.6:

Code:

hashcat.exe -a 3 -m 9400 -o pass.txt hash.txt ?a?a?a?a --increment

...it runs for a very short while and just stops at initiating self-test. Here's the command prompt:

Code:

hashcat.exe -a 3 -m 9400 -o pass.txt hash.txt ?a?a?a?a --increment

Starting self-test. Please be patient...

When pressing a key, the menu

Code:

appears but nothing happens no matter what I do.

To counter this I added the

Code:

--self-test-disable

option, but this time it gets stuck at

Code:

Initialized device kernels and memory

! I've also tried the command in version 6.2.5, and the exact same thing happens.

Here's the command prompt for detail:

Any help would be VERY appreciated, thank you!
