BOINC and Windows 10 Creator edition = No Working ScreenSaver and much more

First read about this at Berkeley, but the BOINC SS really does not work with the W10 Creator (Release Preview) edition, in fact this RC is so bad, you can lose functionality of all your apps, your MS Office [from that same house], may get troubling, so much so that MS suggests to then ['very easily' they brag] roll back to the 1607 anniversary release... which then in my case lost working keyboard and mouse-pad [irreparably], internal or external by USB port, to the extend that the only way to get access again was via TeamViewer. On trying Creator a second time [via TeamViewer remote control], things were better, BOINC kept crunching, but still no BSS, and TeamViewer wont autostart, which would have 'creatored' a dead developer system for me had the keyboard/mousepad not recovered... The message being: YOU'RE WARNED!

not talking

Re: BOINC and Windows 10 Creator edition = No Working ScreenSaver and much more

Sek,

Thanks for starting this thread, was getting ready to post something. There are reports that if the Boinc client is set to suspend work while computer is in use that the failure of the screen saver results in the computer being in use and therefore work will be suspended. It is recommended that if you are running the Windows 10 Creator update you disable the Boinc screensaver especially if you use this setting.

Thanks,
armstrdj
