Hi,
Never had this:
Boinc launches and the tasks show up as running, yet nothing progresses and Boinc sits at 0.4% Cpu usage... ;-(
Tried a reinstall, no change...

Here the Log:

Your preferences are set to only use the GPU when the computer is not in use (aka idle). So any tasks running on the Intel GPU will suspend as long as you're on the keyboard or mouse.

From the messages we cannot see if you also allow the CPU to be used.

Furthermore, you have at least one task that's past the deadline and still not finished:

This may cause BOINC to stop asking for work, because there is no sense in asking for work if the system is not capable of returning it within the deadline. So either abort the task or finish it, then report it and see what BOINC does next.

If it's allowed to use both the CPU and GPU and ask for work for both, that'll show.
