So far as I remember, if I close the client on "X" in upper right corner, client get minimized and continue working in background. That is OK. But if I close it from the menu, i.e. "File->Exit", it should close completly and remove applications from memory. This does NOT work for me with 6.2.18, and it worked for earlier clients. I have boinc running as a service, if that helps troubleshooting the issue. |

I haven't run the 6.x.x variants yet, but with all the 5.x.x ones, if it's running as a service, it should never stop from FILE-> EXIT, it should only stop if you go into the services list an stop it or use one of the command line ways to stop it. -Dave |

Ways to stop BOINC 6.2.x when running as a service: 1) BOINC Manager->Advanced view->Advanced->Shut down connected client->OK->Cancel followed by BOINC Manager->File->Exit. 2) BOINC Manager->File->Exit followed by Windows Start button->Run, type net stop boinc, click OK. 3) BOINC Manager->File->Exit followed by Windows Start button->Run, type services.msc, click OK. Find BOINC in the Services applet. Right click on it, choose Stop from the drop-down menu. To start BOINC and the service again, just go Start->Programs->BOINC->BOINC Manager link. |

Wow, could they have made it more complicated? Anyway, good to know the correct way... I was "killing" all apps and clients from task manager... |

Wow, could they have made it more complicated? We have our friends in Redmond to thank for that, I suspect. |

Wow, could they have made it more complicated? No more complicated than Torvalds' creation. |
