Hi,

After installing boinc on two desktops (thinkstation P310, thinkcentre M720Q tiny), the start menu on win10 v1809 stops working correctly.
When pressing win-key, the start menu appears, but you cannot search anything. Pressing any alphabetical key will grey up the start menu.
I tried uninstalling boinc client and the problem went away. Start meny worked fine for couple of weeks until I reinstalled boinc client.

Running world community grid ver 7.14.2 (x86) widget version 3.0.1. Boinc has been installed as a service.
Other computer has been set to run always, other suspends when there's user activity on computer.

I normally use the installer on the wordcommunitygrid.org , but as a test I used a installer on boinc site (not sure if there's any difference but the skin). The problem usually appears on day or two, I'll report back later.

E: after reboot, the problem usually goes away for a while

Same behavior with installer downloaded from boinc site.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Anyone?

Does this happen if you don't install it as a service? Just a thought, - I haven't used Windows on my own machines since 99 so am very out of date on it!

Problem "solved" by decreasing amount of CPUs to be used by boinc.

Probably the best way to get this sorted is for you to report your findings to Microsoft. I think the Feedback Hub in Windows is what Microsoft instructs people to use.
