Or just type BOINC in search. Apparently Windows removes the pinned icon when you update BOINC, because the installer will uninstall the previous version. Not much that can be done about that, other than laboriously pinning BOINC Manager to the task bar again. ID: 2029570 ·

That one will still be present, but hidden. Can be configured. ID: 2029582 ·

Lying in bed, listening to the wind battering my window, pondering if I should get up to close it. But I'm just warm. Besides, didn't you just ask him that? 😁 ID: 2029583 ·

I needed it when I noticed that work was not suspended when I was using the machine as seti taking up 99% of cpu. ID: 2029664 ·
