Hi

I dont know how to create a topic on this forum so I post here?

How can I prevent W10 to close my session automatically and doing so prevents Boinc for running?

I'm not sure what you mean by "Closing my session". Do you mean the automatic updates that reboot your computer? If so, I solve that problem by disabling the Windows Update Service. I enable it and run the update check manually when I'm ready to update and then disable it again when it's fully up to date.

I am running SuSE Linux Leap 42.2, the last official release. But I have an icon saying that I have 1318 updates ready to install. Last time I did this I found myself with aTumbleweed Linux that is a bleeding edge release of SuSE Linux and would not boot on my SUN M20 workstation, vintage 2008. So I had to reinstall Leap 42.2.After installing Leap 42.2 I found that a USB cartridge with photos of my sons and grandchildren had been canceled and overwritten with a OS, so I could boot from it. But photos and other personal saved items are gone.
I am afraid SuSE Linux has gone the Microsoft way, the "way of all flesh".

Hi

I solved the problem in the Microsoft account (parameters->account) there is a default option to close the current session after a while (crazy) you have to disable this.

Yeah, who needs antivirus trashing performance? http://arstechnica.com/security/2016/12/fedora-and-ubuntu-0days-show-that-hacking-desktop-linux-is-now-a-thing/

If you run a mainstream distribution of Linux on a desktop computer, there's a good chance security researcher Chris Evans can hijack it when you do nothing more than open or even browse a specially crafted music file. And in the event you're running Chrome on the just-released Fedora 25, his code-execution attack works as a classic drive-by.

The zero-day exploits, which Evans published on Tuesday, are the latest to challenge the popular conceit that Linux, at least in its desktop form, is more immune to the types of attacks that have felled Windows computers for more than a decade and have increasingly snared Macs in recent years.
