No tasks executing
Hello,

I think something went wrong with my settings. I can't figure out what it is. Previous week my computer executed 50 or 60 tasks and this week it gets none anymore saying "Your current settings do not allow tasks from this project."


  • I reset my project settings ticking any project off and saved and then re-ticked everything and saved again.
  • I created a new profile for my only device and set it to "Maximum Output".
  • I set my client to use the website's settings.


I restarted and even reinstalled the client on my device multiple times but still get the message "Your current settings do not allow tasks from this project.".

My device is definetely capable of doing work for the projects in question.

Re: No tasks executing
Check Advanced Options on the website, especially
"Allow research to run on my CPU?" is Yes.

Check/clear local options in BOINC manager.

Re: No tasks executing
As I've said, I've created a new profile which i set to "Maximum Output". So there where no custom settings made to that new profile by me. I also set my device to use that profile.

Re: No tasks executing
Its just cool how I'm unable to contribute because there is no simple and clear way to reset all settings... Great stuff for a system thats around for so long.

Maximum output on the website does not mean they transfer or are used on the client. The client has a reset too, a button right top of the options, computing preferences that would say "Use Web Prefs", which indicates overriding local prefs are used.
