As the screenshot (see attachments) shows, I want to use hashcat on Windows, but hashcat has stucked on self-test for a long time. The benchmark (hashcat -b) didn't work too. Hashcat will also stuck on "Initialized device kernels and memory" if I use "--self-test-disable". I used The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) linux (Virtual machine) on VMware and hashcat worked properly. How can I use hashcat on Windows?

As the error says, you should install the CUDA toolkit.

It didn't work although I installed CUDA. I submitted the same issue on github. I added "-d 1" to command line and hashcat ran properly.

every cuda version needs specifc minimum nvidia driver versions, update your graphicsdriver to a recent one or downgrade your cuda as your MX150 is quite old (if no newer driver is available, see
https://docs.nvidia.com/deploy/cuda-comp...patibility)
thats whats the yellow part tells, that your installation is not correct
-D1 tells hashcat to use CPU instead of GPU
