Boinc continues to run the simap on 3 different computers and two accounts. This is a serious bug for laptop users! Update: This applies to all projects. Definitely a problem with the new Boinc release. ID: 4633 ·

And which BOINC version is this for? If lower than 5.4.9, try to upgrade to 5.4.9, edit your preferences on one of the projects again, save the changes even if there are none with the button at the bottom of the site and then Update that project through Boinc Manager, Projects tab, highlight the project you edited the preferences of and click Update.

Hi, This started happening after I upgraded 3 laptops to 5.4.9. I went to the project page, saved the changed like you said, and then told each Boinc client to Update the project. That worked. Thank you for the workaround. Definitely a bug they need to fix, as one of my laptops went dead running full speed on a project while using batteries. ID: 4636 ·

Boinc is not detecting the move back to being plugged in. I click the Update button for the project and it starts. As I go back and forth with the power supply, Boinc only behaves correctly part of the time. Oh well, as long as it doesn't run projects on batteries, it's not so bad. ID: 4637 ·

That's something you can set through your preferences as well: Do work while computer is running on batteries? set it to No. (default setting) ID: 4638 ·
