Message 114327 - Posted: 24 Jul 2024, 20:23:20 UTC

I have a new Win 11 Pro (clean install) laptop on which I have installed Boinc and BoincTasks. I am using BAM. This same setup is working without issues on 2 other machines (Win 10).

The logs pasted below show that BOINC will not use the onboard hardware due to account manager preferences. However, it does not matter what I change the BAM, project, or local preferences to. BOINC will not pull any work. Does anyone have any idea what the issue could be?

To change which hardware to use, you change the Project preferences under BAM.
Or for a quick test, you can always detach from BAM for now and attach directly to the project(s) you want to run.

Jord, I do not know what type of dark magic you possess. I have disconnected and reconnected to BAM several times, changed the prefs at all levels, disabled / enabled the firewall, etc.
Nothing worked.
After your post, I disconnected BAM, and then BOINC gave a connection error indicating all of the projects were down (progress!?). I disabled the firewall again, no change. I re-enabled the firewall and BOINC was able to get tasks successfully. I then reconnected to BAM and everything still seems to be connecting correctly.

Thanks for the magical assist.

Software is scared of me. 😂
Glad to have nudged your BOINC in the right direction.
