Re: Suggestion - new option on 'Activity' - SUSPEND for 1 hour.

If you click on the WCG icon at the taskbar, where all the other icons are (Internet, Sound, Antivirus, etc), you get those options? I'm thinking you right-clicked an opened WCG window at the taskbar, and not the taskbar icon.

This is the icon I am referring to https://imgur.com/vAayzTK
Since you use the WCG version, it will have the WCG icon, not the Yellow and Blue BOINC icon.

A right-click on it and "Temporarily Suspend Computation" will pause BOINC for 60 minutes.

Just updated my original post in reply to your OP and for other readers that get stuck on tabs and don't look up at the menu bar.

A former friend of Willy is sorry it is not a solution for you. Can think of a refinement to Exclusive, when not minimized, but not going to propose it to the developers.

Re: Suggestion - new option on 'Activity' - SUSPEND for 1 hour.

The "System Tray" is the collection of app icons in the lower right corner of the screen and is the right-most portion of the Windows taskbar. We're not talking about the WCG application button in the taskbar but the icon in the System Tray.

If you right-click on it, there is a "Snooze" option that pauses computation for 1 hour I believe. That's an easy option that applies for anything without having to configure exclusive applications (although that is more ideal long-term).

Thank you! This 'System Tray' is exactly what I needed, I found the snooze (finally) and will be using it now. (not the icon that shows when the GUI is running).
