I've been using BOINC for many years. I've received multiple certificates for computer usage over the years from BOINC. I just changed to a new computer and went from W10 to W11. I have Boinc installed and it appears to be running, but there is not a BOINC option under screen savers. I also no longer have any idea what my account name is or how to make sure that I am connected to my old account. I can login here on this forum, but I cannot login to any of the account manager websites options on Boinc. I've tried every email that I have and every option that I can think of, but none are found. |

I found an account with your name at WCG https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewmember?member=LHnTX Have you tried to recover your account login there using the forgot password link? https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/login/ |

I had the same problem and in my case it was the Firewall that prevented a proper installation |

The transition might have caused compatibility problems. To resolve this, consider checking BOINC's Compatibility with Windows 11 and try reinstalling the software. MY PROFILE |

There is NO KNOW COMPATIBILITY PROBLEMS with Windows 11 & BOINC. If there was, it would of already been known and reported on the project GitHub development site.. |
