They (the small expos you tested) were PRP tests with a proof uploaded.

Bad proofs was for 10496897.

preda asked if I still had the proof file. I do. I have placed it where he can download it.

I have upgraded to build 4 just after release. I am doing PRP first time. Since upgrading fro build 3 I have not received any CERT work even though I have set it to 90%, download limit 5000MB/ day and bandwidth 500Mbps. Before used to get CERT work. I have not tried do any modification, just wanted to see how it worked without advanced workarounds. Is this expected?

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I downloaded this latest version (30.3 build 4), and now when I run the .exe I get the attached dialog (not sure if the attachment will show up in this post, so I'll included text here:

"Search for app in the Store?

You need to install an app for this task.
Would you like to search for one in the store?"

If I hit Yes or No nothing happens, but the program seems to work ok regardless.

Not too surprising. Build 4 requests CERT work less often. You can turn on "Debug=1" in the [PrimeNet] section of prime,txt to see every time Prime95 requests CERT work.

How weird. Some Windows malfunction -- anyone else see this?

Fine under Windows 7, isn’t that Windows 10?

I have two Windows 10 computers running 30.3 build 4 and have not seen that screen.

Could it be malware or a virus?

It seems to be a rare, but not-unknown, problem that affects a small number of Windows 10 installations. This guy for example reports (from 2019) pretty much the exact same problem (launch program, get Yes/No dialog that seems to do nothing except go away whether you click yes or no). One possible thing to look at would be to make sure that Start > Settings > Apps > Allow apps from the Store only is not set.

So I got some literally free AWS hardware and over the past week I've been running mprime v30b3 on an m5.12xlarge. The 8 GB disk I gave it filled up at some point during the past week with .residues files. Would it be possible to have mprime/Prime95 configure itself appropriately based on the available disk space at the time a PRP test is started? It would have been fine with a Proof Power of 7 for the two 110M exponents it's working on.

After increasing the disk size to 50 GB, mprime wrote out a 3.3 GB and a 14 GB file. It should have never thought it would be possible to write out a 14 GB file in the first place.

Seems processing was completely stuck for 5 or 6 days. The system has 186 GB of memory free, so it could have kept processing...

Just bugs...
