  One possible solution is to try restarting your computer and then launching NiceHash Miner again. Sometimes a simple restart can resolve any temporary issues that may be causing the Excavator server to get stuck. If that doesn't work, you can also try reinstalling NiceHash Miner to ensure that all the necessary files are properly installed. Additionally, make sure that your antivirus software or firewall is not blocking the Excavator server from running. If it is, you may need to add an exception or temporarily disable the antivirus/firewall to allow the server to start successfully.

  I had a similar issue with NiceHash Miner getting stuck on starting the Excavator server, and what worked for me was updating my graphics card drivers. Outdated drivers can sometimes cause compatibility issues and prevent the server from starting. Check the website of your graphics card manufacturer for the latest driver updates and install them. After updating the drivers, try launching NiceHash Miner again and see if the issue is resolved.
