Any idea why BOINC would stop processing everything?
I was gone for a month and left the pc running so BOINC could do its thing. My settings don't let the computer go to sleep, BOINC just runs and runs. When I got back home, I checked BOINC manager to see its progress. Apparently, the first 2 weeks it ran as usual, but then it stopped all processes and transfers. So basically it's just been sitting here, turned on, idle, and doing nothing for the last 2 weeks. Once I logged in, it picked up where it left off. Any clue why? Thanks! |

If I assume that the operating system is Windows and you do not run BOINC as a service, I can suggest a possible reason.
The 12th March was a 'patch Tuesday' for Windows OS updates. Allow a day for automatic checking before doing its restart the following morning at 03:00. Windows is now running, you are not logged in and therefore BOINC is not running. Is the above a possible scenario? |

Is the above a possible scenario? It is October 15, 2019, a tuesday. I have 5 computers, and two of them ended everything abruptly, uploaded them all and downloaded new tasks. I wouldn't have cared, except that I lost several hard-to-find help stop TB that never finished. Do I need to suspend all Help Stop TB tasks each Monday night? "Patch Tuesday is the second tuesday and sometimes the fourth tuesday." This was the third tuesday. Go figure.

Have the same thing since the last Windows 10 update... all tasks running or ready to start get eaten and the garbage disposal run is started by the client, new work is fetched and all is fine again, except it needs a bunch of validations before quorum 1 is allowed again. Now it happens each boot, so I disabled the service and switched to manual start. Did find that the D:\BOINC virus scan exclusion line had disappeared, so I'm hoping that was the cause. Will see at next boot and manual start of the client.

If you can disable Automatic Windows Update, and make it a weekly automatic update at your convenience, mine is every monday @0:45:0. What I did was to go to Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Task Scheduler -> TSL -> Microsoft -> Windows -> Windows Update -> AUScheduledInstall, exported to a file.xml and then imported so I have a copy and don't mess with WU functioning, I rename it to AUScheduledInstall2 and set it up with the weekly schedule, the patches are not that important really. I run Win 8.1 64-bit and don't use a login screen, avoid it if you can, and if you're going for a long time, reinstall as a service
