I just got a new i7 (8 processing threads!!!). It has been two years since I have set up a computer to resume processing if the computer reset to install updates prior to logging in?
----------------------------------------Any instructions for setting up PC or Bonic config to enable would be appreciated.   |

If BOINC is installed as a service it runs at start-up without needing to login.
----------------------------------------You can un-instal and re-instal but may lose tasks in progress. Paul.

It should be an option during BOINC installation.
----------------------------------------If you're running GPU tasks at another project they will not be able to process with BOINC as a service. An FYI.  |

Whatever... If you really want to crunch using GPUs (in other projects), you can configure your system's logon options, and setup automatic login.
Press Win+R to get a Run window, and enter the command:"control userpasswords2":  Uncheck the checkbox on the top:  And enter your autologin credentials after you clicked "confirm".  |

Chinese characters cannot be used in password string (IMEs are unavailable while entering in a password textbox), and I saved the password in my phone's "Notes" app, so it may not be THAT robust as you think  |

I think my max password length is just 13. What you do with ROBUST password is another matter!!!!!!!!!! [Edit 1 times, last edit by dcs1955 at Jan 25, 2019 3:41:09 AM] |
