Morning,
Anyone installed this update recently? I've put it on one machine, an old 4th generation i5, with 16Gb RAM that normally ticks over fine on Amicable numbers (15,000+ credits a day) and Milkyway (9,000+ a day) but since the update the returns have dropped. Logged in to check what's going on and BOINC is as good as suspended, all active running tasks, according to the Client, are having their remaining time increased while the actual CPU usage is under 5% - so effectively BOINC is suspended.
I've been through and changed the "new" options in the Computing preferences so it uses more CPU and no longer suspends if non-BOINC usage is above a certain percentage - made no difference.
I've changed the Activity option to "Run always" this also made no difference.


Started writing the above while still looking into the isssue, left it in just in case anyone else found the same as it may help.
Several reboots later, the PC only runs on cheap electricity so starts and stops on a daily schedule, it seems to be back to normal usage now and the BOINC computing preferences are also back to what they were as well.
