When I run BOINC Manager boinc.exe doesn't start and it will hang on "connecting to localhost"

If I start boinc.exe from an elevated command prompt prior to starting BOINC Manager everything works fine.

I'm running the Beta version 7.16.5 but I also had this issue on the "stable" version.

There is a checkbox in recent versions of BOINC Manager - menu Options --> other options, either Manager view - which asks

Run the client?
Please verify that this is checked, and test again.

As far as I can tell on every installation I have done since this was introduced, it has been ticked by default, including on a clean install of ubuntu 19.10 Not sure about on Windows installations as that would have been left in my .wine folder and ready to go once I had installed WINE on new system.

It's always worth checking. Stranger things have happened at sea.
