BOINC Manager has downloaded about nine workunits which disappear after downloading. They are not among the workunits waiting to be completed or actually being worked upon. There is no download error. The workunits have not been completed but there are no errors displayed in the messages.

Are you saying that the 11 "In progress" tasks are not listed in the Tasks tab of BOINC manager? If so, you either have to click the "Show all tasks" button or you're suffering from "ghost tasks".

All is well. I did not notice that the "Show All Tasks" was a toggle with "Show Active Tasks." I must have clicked on it when I click on the BOINC Manager window to bring it to the front when it was covered by the browser window.

Actually, the default start-up position for the Show Active Tasks/Show all tasks button when you first start up BOINC Manager in Advanced view is "Show active tasks".
