Use the exclusive applications option to set that BOINC is completely paused as long as program X is in memory.



Thanks yeah, I added the Steam VR Client.

However, BOINC is doing it again today, staying in an active state even though I'm using the keyboard and mouse.

I suspect now it's related to having another Windows 10 user signed onto the machine, but I need to do some experiments to verify this.

I had my "In Use" to three minutes, but it was still running even if I typed or moved the mouse.

However, it seems to be OK today and is paused as expected, although I absolutely shut my machine done between it not working properly.

I noticed the other day my computer hitting the fans heavily whilst I was using it and then I noticed that BOINC was running stuff in the background.

This is despite me having Run Based on Preferences set and Suspend when computer is in use set.

Has anything changed here recently?

Boinc manager version 7.167 x86 for running on Windows 10.
