Hi. I recently made a clean Windows install and something weird is happening with BOINC after I installed it onto the new system. When I close the Manager (boincmgr.exe is no longer running according to Windows' Task Manager), the tasks that were in progress continue to run, along with boinc.exe.
Please help if you encountered the same problem. It's driving me nuts.

// The version is 7.0.28 for Windows & x86_64.

Oh, the bloody ticker dialog. I unticked it in the option, therefore I never got asked to stop the computations. A thousand thanks to you.
