Hi, so I saw a thread and solution for Linux but I am getting this error on Windows when I try and mine:

  msr      to access MSR registers Administrator privileges required.

  msr      FAILED TO APPLY MSR MOD, HASHRATE WILL BE LOW

I can't seem to give XMRig admin privileges unless I right click to open, which doesn't help if trying to mine through WOWlet.

Is there a simply fix for this on Windows or should I just go the Linux route?

Thanks

windows sucks use linux

You should just go the linux route, however.
Right click the XMRIG exe, click properties, click compatibility, check run as administrator.
Then run wowlet as admin.
profit.

Thanks, this worked. Will checkout Linux.

The Linux route is preferred as others have stated. If you have can Linux before it will be fairly easy to get up and running.

If not, try what @thebuzzing said about running Wowlet as admin. The reason being that learning anything new has a curve. No use in trying to learn two things at onec.
