Hi, I have boinc installed with 6 different projects. It has been working for some weeks, but the latest few days the screen saver just starts and then it shows "Boinc is not running" forever.

..I have tried to turn of "turn off boinc when cpu usage is high", no change.

What can be the issue?

Windows I presume?
Have you checked that BOINC is actually running? Windows Task Manager shows a boinc.exe?

Yes, windows 10.

BOINC is running. It starts the screen saver, and then there is a text telling me BOINC is not running.

It looks like this solved the issue, now it is running again:

I increased CPU Usage and time to 50% (was 40%)
I created a daily schedule, compute between 8-17 every day. (was no schedule before)

...Not very easy to configure BOINC, my recommendation is to test away with different settings until it starts to work.
