RE: [UPDATED 7/6] How-To Mine Steem Power in Windows
Be aware, setting the mining-threads field is not optional to mine. It should be at least set to 1.

Easy to specify on the command line with -t though, which is how I've always done it.
"mining-threads", for the newbies here, is how many "threads" the cpu uses to process instruction sets required by various processes (like running firefox, for instanse!) :)
So basically if you say 0 "mining-threads" you are saying "don't mine".
Doh! I thought it was defaulted to 2, but I set it up from scratch again and see it's not set at all. I will update above.
