Have you removed the option to change the refresh rate in the tasks view?  I've looked everywhere!

I'm using 1.96

Extra -> BoincTasks settings -> View -> Refresh rate -> Normal or manual

Great that you finnally go this working.

Go to the computers tab and add the password.
That should work just fine.
If you still get a password error after restarting the computer or the Boinc client.
Change the password into something simple without any special characters and try again.

This is weird, BOINC and BoincTasks didn't change the connecting for ages.
Another thing I can think about is the Virus scanner / Firewall that blocks BoincTasks.

You can update to the latest Beta version, that way you have the same version I use.

OK it seems BoincTasks doesn't have permission to access that file.
You are sure the file C:\ProgramData\BOINC\\gui_rpc_auth.cfg is present?
There should be Unable to read gui_rpc_auth.cfg, is there such file? in the logging file.
Probably happened while installing BOINC.
I think there is an option to allow access to all users while installing BOINC

To be sure, you restarted the BOINC client after changing the password.
In logging check Enable debug mode.
Select debug setup and check connecting.
Exit BoincTasks and start it again.
Look for 01 September 2025 - 09:21:08 Computers ---- localhost get local password: (C:\ProgramData\BOINC\\gui_rpc_auth.cfg) that should give you the BOINC Password

Did you see this line?
31 August 2025 - 14:54:03 Computers ---- localhost get local password: (C:\ProgramData\BOINC\\gui_rpc_auth.cfg) passwordname

You can download an older version by changing the version number in the link.
https://efmer.eu/download/boinc/boinc_tasks/unified/setup_32_64_boinc_tasks_1_93.exe

*** XP Use V 1.49
**** Vista Use V 1.81
32 bit use V 1.91 or below.

Versions are here:

I only test the latest Win 11 versions.

[scheduler request host ID doesn't match authenticator (Password)]

31 August 2025 - 01:52:17 Connect, password ---- Host: Franciss-THINK, IP: localhost, Port: 31416, scheduler request host ID doesn't match authenticator (Password)

The localhost is a special case, you fill in an empty (NO) password.
The password is read from the local password file.
That said I tested it on my computer and filling in a password works just fine.

Should give you a log line:
31 August 2025 - 14:54:03 Computers ---- localhost get local password: (C:\ProgramData\BOINC\\gui_rpc_auth.cfg) passwordname

the boinc client is running because I'm looking at the remote computer with remote utilities, and anyway it says "password".  if it's not running it can't connect and displays this differently.

The password only changes when the Boinc client restarts.
Find computers reads the password from the local machine, but the toolbox can read and restart the BOINC client.

The most likely cause is that the BOINC client did not restart.

Strange, it shows a password error, make sure you have the right password.
Maybe enter the password in BoincTasks again.
Otherwise a security tool on you pc like a virus scanner may block the connection.

Or maybe the computer is too old, I haven't tested it on Win 10 for a long time.

I would like to get it off the graph, is there a way to make it blank or have the graph not show it

C:\Program Files\eFMer\TThrottle\examples tthrottle.xml

Adjust the affected core by -15 (degrees) and the graph should be at 0.

make tthrottle.xml and paste:
<TThrottle>
  <PROCESSOR>
    <core_adjust>-15;0;0;0</core_adjust>
  </PROCESSOR>
</TThrottle>

Place the correct tthrottle.xml in C:\Program Files\eFMer\TThrottle\

Core 1 is always 15 °C
Core 0 & Core 16 are  68 °C which correct
The rest of the cores are blank,
I hope that helps

That's strange. I would say the Core 1 sensor isn't working properly.
However, I don't think it will affect anything because the other sensors are correct.

Hi,
I have a AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5995WX with 64 cores and 128 threads. It only sees two core temperatures, it does show 32 cores.
I use HWiNFO to get the actual temperatures which works fine and corrects the Core 0 temperature
My problem if the temperature reading for core 0 is correct the reading for core 1 is incorrect.
Does anyone know how I fix it or remove it

Is the core temperature wrong or has it an offset, like alwasy xx degrees off.

Isn't this a BoincTasks request.
You can add a rule to suspend tasks when they reach more than % or stall.
