Re: BOINC system tray icon and service question

Thank you all for your help to answer RishonLeZion's question precisely.

tonyh205's answer is the correct way to know what BOINC is or is not doing.
Although in most cases Scribe's suggestion can show a high probability that will still be only a probability. If there is some CPU intensive application running, or a hidden process, or whatever worse swallowing all cycles, 100 % will just be misleading.

Re: BOINC system tray icon and service question

Why can't you look at the "Services" tab in Windows Task Manager to see if BOINC is running as a service?
And/Or look in Performance > Resource Monitor > CPU > Services in Windows Task Manager?

I don't run BOINC as a service because it prevents BOINC from accessing the GPU, and I have no reason to conceal BOINC.

Running BOINC 7.2.47 on Windows 7 Pro and when I hover over the new WCG icon I get:
Computing is enabled
GPU computing is enabled
Network is enabled
