I have a strange problem in a couple of hosts:

- different boinc version (7.6.22 & 7.12.1)
- different hardware (i7-860 & i7-3770)
- different GPU (R9 270X Pitcairn & 7870XT Tahiti LE)
- different windows Version (Windows 7 x86 & Windows 8.1 x64)
- different GPU drivers
Both installed as user (no service mode)

This problem is a bit strange.. if i run in "hidden" mode with registry key (but also typing the command) c:\BOINCPATH\boinc.exe --detach (--detach_console is the same) boinc fails to recognize GPU and gives the error "No usable GPU found"

If I run the boinc GUI boincmgr.exe GPU is successfully recognized and works flawlessly..

Really i can't understand what is wrong.. all my hosts are configured almost the same but i can't understand what the cmd can fail.

i'll attach the logs in next messages

BOINCMGR.EXE (WORKING)

There is a known problem in this area, which is being worked on at the moment.

If you allow BOINC Manager to start the client (the standard, recommended, way), GPUs should be detected as normal. Any problems in this area, especially with Windows 10, are usually to do with Microsoft updates installing cut-down drivers, with crucial parts - CUDA, OpenCL - missing.

Staring the boinc client from the command line should be possible, but is subject to problems requiring workrounds.

Older versions of BOINC - up to and including v7.8.3 - had a bug which caused GPU detection to fail if you typed "c:\BOINCPATH\boinc". The workround for this bug is to type "c:\BOINCPATH\boinc.exe", with the filename extension explicitly included.

This bug was fixed from v7.10.2, but a replacement bug was introduced during the fix. The problem in the later BOINCs occurs if the command line is invoked from a batch file in some other location than c:\BOINCPATH\. The workround here is to place the commands you want in a batch file, and place that batch file in c:\BOINCPATH\. Then, you can run the batch file from a shortcut in another part of the system, and it should work.

This is the first time I've read about anybody trying to start the client directly from the registry, so I can't be certain that "batch file in the program directory" will work - I haven't tested it myself - but it's worth a try. Please let us know how you get on.

Further discussions on these related bugs can be found in the GPU area - Has BOINC 7.12.1 broken NVIDIA detection? - and in Github issue #2657.

BOINCCMD.EXE --DETACH

The Boinccmd tool is just a command line tool that allows for easier commanding of the client. The client needs to be running already. I don't think boinccmd.exe --detach does anything, or is even an option.

Make sure you start the boinc.exe from within the BOINC Programs directory, or add the path to the BOINC Programs directory into your environment path. The BOINC Programs directory is the directory where the BOINC executables live, not the directory where the data and project executables live. Default in Windows 8.1 x64 at C:\Program Files\BOINC\

Also, you can enable the coproc_debug flag in BOINC Manager->Options->Event Log options. Then when BOINC doesn't find the GPU, it'll give additional information why not.

And the rest, what Richard said.

Thanks for prompt answer.. Yes sorry.. i wrote boinccmd but it's boinc.exe

Just to clarify.. installation directory is the boinc default

Registry key is only for autostart in HKLM/Software/Microsoft/WindowsNT/Currentversion/Winlogon/Run.. it's not different from che common boinc autostart.. it's simply done manually

i'll try this workaround.. the only thing it matters is the boinc client and gpu start and crunch properly

I have got a shortcut to my BOINC Client on my desktop, perhaps easier for you to use:
1. Right click anywhere on the desktop and choose New->Shortcut.
2. For the item location type "C:\Program Files\BOINC\boinc.exe" --detach_console->Next.
3. For the name of the shortcut, I named it boinc.exe->Finish.

The item location uses quotes because there is a space in the path that Windows otherwise cannot compute. So do type in the quotes as well.

I manage a network with more or less 60 hosts + virtual machines + dedicated rigs.. running manually every day, every host with users rebooting randomly could be a nightmare.. i need to automate as much as possible.. :)

but i'll keep you updated.. it's the first time i have this kind of problems, and with only 2 specific hosts.. maybe my mixed enviroment (XP-VISTA-7-8-10-2003-2008-2012-2016-DEBIAN-VMWARE x86/x64) can help to fix or to define some kind of rule to solve/workaround the issue

I think this is specifically a Windows issue, because of the comment at https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/blob/master/client/main.cpp#L447:

// This bit of silliness is required to properly detach when run from within a command
// prompt under Win32. The root cause of the problem is that CMD.EXE does not return
// control to the user until the spawned program exits, detaching from the console is
// not enough. So we need to do the following. If the -detach flag is given, trap it
// prior to the main setup in init_core_client. Reinvoke the program, changing the
// -detach into -detach_phase_two, and then exit. At this point, cmd.exe thinks all is
// well, and returns control to the user. Meanwhile the second invocation will grok the
// -detach_phase_two flag, and detach itself from the console, finally getting us to
// where we want to be.

But I don't think it's specific to any single version of Windows.

The check for usable GPUs happens under the control of yet a third invocation of the program, and under the second bug (the current BOINCs) the location of the program to be re-invoked isn't being passed round correctly.

GPU detection works in 7.10/12 provided that when the client is started the current directory is the same as where the boinc.exe is. When you start programs from registry you don't have control over the current directory.

You could try a batch file, just have it cd to right directory first. Or you could try something silly like "%systemroot%\system32\cmd.exe /c cd c:\boincexes && boinc.exe --yada --yada" in registry. Or use earlier version, just remember to add .exe to the command line.

Somewhat related. Does logging to std{out,err}dae.txt work when you use --detach_console? It doesn't appear to be working on Windows 10 but I'm curious if it used to work.

Somewhat related. Does logging to std{out,err}dae.txt work when you use --detach_console? It doesn't appear to be working on Windows 10 but I'm curious if it used to work.

As noted in the GPU area thread, I have a batch file set up to invoke {use,test} a secondary boinc client instance.

Both stdoutdae and stderrdae are correctly updated in the secondary data directory, but I do have "--redirectio --detach_console" (both entries, in that order) on my command line. This is Windows 7.

Thanks. Looks like this changed in Windows 8.
