It's only doing it when playing a game through Bluestacks Android emulator.  Must be something to do with it grabbing the GPU?  I diable Boinc and Folding when running the game.  But Boinctasks is showing the other computers running.

Event viewer shows:

Boinctasks occasionally crashes and silently restarts, no big deal, but recently it's doing it every few minutes, and when it restarts, Windows stupidly puts it in focus, so it interrupts what I'm typing.  It might be only when I'm playing Dust Lands on the Bluestacks android emulator.  How do I go about troubleshooting this?

According to what I read, the file name should work, like FahCore_a7.exe

Thanks, I see you use Folding too.  It's what I needed it for!

Likely here, since I've cobbled together loads of old monitors (5).  Combinations of VGA, DVI, HDMI, DP, and even USB,  with many adapters!  Just ordered a new graphics card with 6 outputs, so I don't have to use USB which is very flaky.  The adapters burn out every 6 months!

So I'd have to add the full location, since the other options are referring to this computer, not the remote one?

Not sure how to select the app when I'm on computer 1 with boinctasks, and computer 2 is what I need to put an exclusive app for.

I'm using Windows 11, have I still got 10 in some info somewhere in my profile?

Just tested, and it does remember if I go back to the same dialog immediately.  Not if it's been a day.  I guess in that time Boinctasks has crashed (it does that a lot).  Boinctasks needs to write the position now, not wait until just before exiting.

I'm on 21H2, only just noticed Windows has given up giving me updates because I refuse to buy a TPM on 10 machines just for them.  I used Rufus to bypass on the original install.  I can't be bothered going through it again.  M$ can go intercourse itself.  I gather Windows 12 will require an AI capable CPU!  "Oh but doesn't everyone use a computer less than a year old?"

Boinc's exclusive applications, I enter one thing, I don't know what to put in three fields in boinctasks.

P.S. over here SWRI is "Scottish Whisky Research Institute" !!

How do I open a group of tasks?  I double click in Boinctasks.  This doesn't work in cloud.

If possible can you make it remember just by finishing with the dialog box?  I have it running all the time, so probably the next time Boinctasks is closed will be a crash of Boinctasks (I see it silently restart sometimes), or me using windows shutdown or restart command, but the computer tends to run for about 6-9 months between restarts.

How do I use it?  There are three blank fields with no description.  I'm expecting to enter one piece of info, the exe name.

I attempted to put in an exclusive application for a remote computer using Boinctasks.  Firstly, what on earth are the three fields for?  There is only one piece of information Boinc needs - the name of the executable.  Secondly, when I browse for the file, it uses the folders on my local machine, not the remote one.  Thirdly, it didn't save it (this may be because I don't know which field to put what in, they're not labelled!)

Perhaps exacerbated by me having multiple monitors, Boinctasks doesn't remember where for example the boinc preferences dialog was last used.  In my case it's going to monitor 1 even though boinctasks is on another screen.  Please either make it remember the last position of the dialog, even remember globally for every dialog, or make it appear somewhere in the Boinctasks main window area, say the middle.

I just tried it with the screen set to one monitor size.  On the projects tab, with all computers displayed, I scrolled down to Rosetta, and tried to highlight all the computers on Rosetta, using a click, then a shift and click.  The page moved back up to the top (it's in alphabetical order of project name).  I retried this and it only does it sometimes.
