One of the options within BOINC is "suspend while on battery", make sure that isn't ticked.
Or, if it isn't see what happens when you plug a PSU in.

I do have it suspend while on battery. I'm only crunching when plugged into the PSU, whether docked or undocked.

For those of us who have upgraded to v1903 (build 18362.116), have you noticed that the system requires more CPU usage? Prior to the upgrade I was running BOINC at 80% (4 GPU & 2 CPU) with the total system usage at 89 - 92 %). Immediately after the upgrade using the same BOINC settings, the total system usage went to and stayed at 100%. Everything was running okay until this morning while playing Solitaire and system hung up twice. After the last time I had to reduce the BOINC settings to 70 % ( 2 GPU & 3 CPU) to get the total system usage back to the original total system usage of 89 - 92%. The question -- Is anyone else experiencing the same approx. conditions, and what did you do to resolve it?

Hi Cliff,

I don't have 1903 yet. Have you checked what Task Manager has to say about the added CPU usage? That would be my first look; see what it is that is hogging the CPU.

Have a great day! :)

The only thing that really stands out is that all of my SETI tasks went from 12% CPU to bouncing between 12.9 - 14%. Until the upgrade they pegged at 12% and stayed there.

Hi Cliff,

Ok, so it's not Windows that is using more CPU, but the SETI WUs that are using more than before the upgrade to 1903. Hmmm... That's weird. I just looked at mine in Task Manager and all 9 of mine are using an avg. 9.5 each. I'll have to see if mine does the same thing when 1903 hit's my PC. I have no suggestions beyond this point. :( Perhaps others might.

Have a great day! :)

[edit]
Something else I noticed. I have a system monitor gadget on my desktop and it says that CPU usage is avg. 77%, but Task Manager tells me that 88% is used. I'll have to check into this difference between them.

the -nobs argument is not printed in the stderr.txt file.

the only way to see it, is to look at the run time vs cpu time for your tasks. with -nobs, the run times end up being roughly equal.

i looked at your most recent tasks and can tell you have -nobs added.

S@H boards are a simple microcosm of life on planet earth hosting 7.5 billion people. Of them, BOINC users of distributed computing are about 4.5 million, and of S@H active users 93,000. Those actively complaining maybe 1 dozen at most.

Is it any wonder that people take no notice.
