XMRig — High-performance cross-platform miner RandomX, CryptoNight and Argon2 CPU / GPU open source, with official support for Windows.
November 30, Monero (XMR) will work hard on block 1978433 to switch to a new algorithm. The upcoming fork will change the current CryptoNight R mining algorithm to the new Random X PoW algorithm, essentially transferring the coin mining to the CPU.
There are already several miners mining coins using the RandomX algorithm, one of which is XMRig v5.1.0, which you can download from the links below.

XMRig setup
The preferred way to configure the miner is the JSON configuration file, as it is more flexible and user-friendly. The command line interface does not cover all functions, such as mining profiles for various algorithms. Important parameters can be changed at runtime without rebooting the miner by editing the configuration file or making API calls.
An example of a batch file for processors:
:start xmrig -a randomx -o pool.supportxmr.com:5555 -u 44tLjmXrQNrWJ5NBsEj2R77ZBEgDa3fEe9GLpSf2FRmhexPvfYDUAB7EXX1Hdb3aMQ9FLqdJ56yaAhiXoRsceGJCRS3Jxkn.5d3c802ee0f8e12e4eb9792722b7816a42178aa29ef7477c138ddb940c55648d.rig1 -p x --donate-level=1 goto start
