Screensaver loading message appears, then goes away.

I have the screensaver timer set at 1 minute now, and every minute that the system is idle, the Boinc I don't know if it is Boinc or Seti not running, only that Boinc Screensaver does not run and no processing occurs. If Boinc does not start nor can you start in manually it is a Boinc problem not and should be reported on the Boinc forum Boinc Screensaver disappearsįrom the App panel of Task Manager after apparently showing up when the screensaver loading message shows. Boinc client and Boinc System Tray for Windows are running as background processes in Task Managerīoinc Screensaver appears to run as an App for about a second when the screensaver timer value is reached, as theīoinc screensaver loading message appears, then immediately terminates. As much as I want to help BOINC/SETI, this is taking up way too much time.īoinc should be already running before the screensaver starts. The three systems are widely different, the common factors are they all have an Nvidia video subsystem, they all are running BOINC 7.6.33 and they all have the latest Win 10 version 1703 15063.13 installed.

The failures are too exactly similar to be a system problem unique to me.

I am telling you there is a problem with the latest Windows 10 update and BOINC. Look, I am not having a unique problem here. I verified all systems are using the latest Nvidia drivers. In your case, Nvidia and if you use the Intel GPU for driving the monitor, Intel.

So always get your drivers from the manufacturer of the videocard/GPU. The Windows installed crap drivers don't include necessary things such as OpenGL (and for calculations on the GPU things like OpenCL and CUDA). As other Windows 10 upgrades have shown, they'll overwrite any and all user installed drivers by crap Microsoft deems more important or better than what you had. The screen saver uses OpenGL on the videocard to show the graphics. While watching Task Manager, when the screensaver timer expires BOINC starts and immediately stops from the Tasks list.

('processing' is done by applications which are started by boinc.exe) 'no engaging the screen saver' does not mean BOINC is not running.īOINC screensaver (boinc.scr + boincscr.exe) only shows some pictures, it is not really needed for the processing 'BOINC does not start' means 'boinc.exe is not in the list of running processes' (as seen in Windows Task Manager, Process Explorer.
