Sometimes it takes a long time before the BOINC program exits screen saver mode after hitting a key. What's wrong, I use Windows 10?

The BOINC screen saver program is run by Windows. Any problems with how long it takes for the screen saver to quit are attributed to Windows. Do you have the same problem with any other Windows screen saver?

Might be a science app, if it is using the GPU it can take a bit, just long enough to irritate a human, to exit and clean up.
