I have Asteroids@home, Einstein@home, and Milkyway@home running. I have run Boinc for most of 20 years so it has few mysteries.
Yet apparently you missed out on that the projects you run, do not use VirtualBox. (See the supported platforms at the supported projects)
Also, tasks run through VirtualBox run only on the CPU, they do not use the GPU, because of driver restrictions. The same driver restrictions you run into when using a virtual desktop, running BOINC as a service, or connect via remote desktop.

So, since your projects don't use VB, it's not needed to install the BOINC version with VB included.

I stumbled over yet another interesting Youtube channel.

This site was down for at least an hour, as well. So probably something happening over there. Server movement?
I can't get http://ucbsystems.org/ to load anything useful, either.
26) Message boards : Questions and problems : Where is the cc_config.xml file suppose to live? (Message 113540)

Tried setting prefferences again and it doesn't change the file.
Which preferences did you try to change?
cc_config.xml holds debug flags and advanced options for running of apps, making log files and steering of GPUs. It does not hold the preferences from the preferences menu or the website. Those are stored in global_pref.xml (for preferences from the website) and global_prefs_override.xml (for preferences from BOINC Manager).

If it's anything like Android, BOINC will only use the efficiency cores, not the performance cores as these are reserved for the operating system. You'd have to take that up with Intel and Microsoft to get that changed.

As for your other problem, we do have some rules around here for when it comes to the user asking for help, that they give all the information they can to get the helpers going. Looks like no one was interested.

Actually, the first thing to do, is to check with the projects you run, that:
1) they have support for your GPU
2) you chose to run the right applications for this GPU
3) that they have work for these applications

Second thing is to check drivers. Maybe Windows in its overzealous desire, installed newer drivers without cuda or opencl support, or your system is waiting for a reboot for these drivers to take on.

The cc_config.xml setting is only used when you have two different models of the same brand GPU in your system, that you both want to use.

The rest of the time, these problems come down to drivers, project support and availability of tasks.

Please post the first 30-40 lines of your BOINC Event Log (CTRL+SHIFT+E) after a BOINC client start.
Also, check that your client (boinc.exe) starts up without any command line attributes added.

Do you have a cc_config.xml file and if yes, what's in it?
If it doesn't have the <use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus> option enabled in the <options> section, make sure it is enabled.
See https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Client_configuration for more information about this file.

If you do not have a cc_config.xml file, you can make a fully filled one by going BOINC Manager, Options menu, Event Log options, and without changing anything, click Save.
A full cc_config.xml file with the <use_all_gpus> option pre-enabled (<use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus>) will be added to your data directory. All you now have to do is restart your BOINC client, and all your GPUs will be available for use.

Windows 10 lovers, better watch out. Microsoft released an update which won't download and install, because it installs to the Windows Recovery partition, which is too small for the update. So Microsoft wants you - the end-user- to manually increase the size of your WinRE partition, even if your company has 1,000s of computers. No mentions of what could go wrong, no mentions of backing up your data. Best not do anything, let them fix it themselves. So, if you see KB5034441 sit there, don't worry. Don't do anything about it!

This is not a BOINC problem but a crash of the wrapper app that SiDock uses. You're better off reporting it on their forums.
