I am telling you there is a problem with the latest Windows 10 update and BOINC. Look, I am not having a unique problem here. I verified all systems are using the latest Nvidia drivers. In your case, Nvidia and if you use the Intel GPU for driving the monitor, Intel. So always get your drivers from the manufacturer of the videocard/GPU. The Windows installed crap drivers don't include necessary things such as OpenGL (and for calculations on the GPU things like OpenCL and CUDA). As other Windows 10 upgrades have shown, they'll overwrite any and all user installed drivers by crap Microsoft deems more important or better than what you had. The screen saver uses OpenGL on the videocard to show the graphics. While watching Task Manager, when the screensaver timer expires BOINC starts and immediately stops from the Tasks list.

("processing" is done by applications which are started by boinc.exe) "no engaging the screen saver" does not mean BOINC is not running.īOINC screensaver (boinc.scr + boincscr.exe) only shows some pictures, it is not really needed for the processing Updated June 7, 2018: I've refreshed this guide to ensure it still works after the Windows 10 April 2018 Update."BOINC does not start" means "boinc.exe is not in the list of running processes" (as seen in Windows Task Manager, Process Explorer.
