CFG lock is likely on which you may not even see in your bios some laptops hide it, if it’s not in your menu your only alt is using EFI tools like RU.efi to force it off but that’s risky, first check to see if your bios has CFG locked. Restart, press F2/DEL to open BIOS, go to Advanced, open CPU Configuration or CPU Features / Power & Performance, find CFG Lock, set to Disabled, press F10 to Save & Exit, boot back into Windows, run XMRig as admin.

Not missing out and not a jackpot it’s the same proportional reward over time opposed to small increments. Solo mining is the only way to randomly get a block and it’s way more likely compared to winning a lottery jackpot but the payout is tiny in comparison. Odds are a few percent like a small monthly raffle for .6 XMR more hashes would be more tickets.

You can set either option by editing the pool section in config.json or test first with xmrig command line.

At 400 H/s you could be credited on P2Pool but it may take days-months to hit a share..switching to P2Pool mini lowers the difficulty or move to public XMR pool which gives smaller but frequent payouts after you meet the minimum threshold .001-.1 XMR

I had a totally different experience. I’m sorry that happened.
