You configuration is limited to only OpenPandemics WUs, a project which has been idle for years.

You're getting drip-fed WUs from other project, but I'm guessing you'd get more WUs if you explicitly opted in to their host projects.

This setting is defined in "Profiles & Settings > Devices > Device Profiles", and then whatever device profile your machines are configured to use.

Increase your additional work cache setting to 1-2 days under Options-Computing preferences.

Agreed. MCM and ARP should be selected in your default profile. Make sure Project Limits for all three projects are set to Unlimited.

Re: Not getting enough work
Thank you @William Albert and @AgrFan. I thought that checking "If there is no work available for the project(s) I have selected above, please send me work from another project." would keep the machine busy. I have changed this to also select the other projects. We will see if this makes a difference.

Re: Not getting enough work
Not getting any work. MCM all finished. One ARF completed. I have rebooted. No tasks since yesterday. What's happening?

Were you getting more work after selecting MCM and ARP in your profile?

EDIT: just downloaded 9 new MCM units on two Windows machines.

Re: Not getting enough work
Yes, I received about 24 hours of work, but then it dried up. I have received four (4) MCM tasks which are running now. 28 cores waiting for something to do.
