BOINC Screen Saver Still NO GOOD after Win 10 Fall Edition of Creators Update !!
Thursday November 16 2017, 10:27 AM (GMT -7)[/b]

Hi All,

The long awaited Win 10 Fall Edition Creators Update, which was SUPPOSED to SOLVE the problem with the best screen saver in the world, the BOINC Screen Saver, has FAILED MISERABLY.

My Win 10 just completed its full up-date and I anxiously was awaiting the outcome!

When all was done and my screen was back to normal, the first thing I did was to right-click and click on 'Personalize.' From there I checked my BOINC settings. I had given it a 3 minute 'wait time' before activating the screen saver.

I held my breath. After 3 or so minutes up popped the "BOINC Screen Saver Loading" msg below a 1/3 sized BOINC icon. I thought it was doing what it said LOADING, but NO, it didn't load !! Dammit !! (Forgive my foul and un-lady-like language), plz?

I continued to watch the screen for several minutes. The aforementioned loading icon slowly rotated around the screen as in the many months past since M$ DESTROYED BOINC. Thinking I was too impatient, and the problem needed time to "settle in," I counted 107 iterations of the "loading message" before giving up.

In regard the Win 10 Fall Edition Creators Update FIXING the problem, IT IS JUNK. So sad to say! Can't M$ EVER get it RIGHT? Won't ANYONE at Berkeley or the SETI orgainzation CONTACT M$ about a proper FIX?

Now, I must ADD the following: The BOINC Screen Saver DOES work, on occasion. For some reason, sometimes, but rarely. It wiII load and work properly ONCE in a while, just not MOST of the time. It is badly intermittant,

I will cease my RANT and step off the soap box. Anyone wanna be next?
