1) Message boards : News : WU size and credits are doubled now (Message 2053) Posted 5 Apr 2025 by Key Post: Update: Things got weirder! So, having cleaned and restarted my PC as per my last post I watched a few GPU tasks finish in 'normal' speed and posted the message above thinking all was fine. However, I have since discovered that if the BOINC Task Manager is Maximised then GPU tasks run at the 'normal' speed, BUT if I Minimise the Task Manager then every task takes 50% longer. Note that this behaviour only happens with my GPU tasks, the CPU tasks from another project run at their normal speed regardless. Any clues as to what's happening? Has a recent Windows update caused this? I have only noticed the increased run-times in the last few days. My system has remained unchanged through this period: Windows 11 (24H2), i7, RTX3060, 32GB RAM.

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.
3) Message boards : News : WU size and credits are doubled now (Message 2048) Posted 2 Apr 2025 by Key Post: Same issue here: tasks on my RTX3060 normally complete in around 8 minutes, but over last few days most are taking around 12 minutes. Occassionally I get a run of 'normal' times again for a few hours - are there some longer batches being released? No known changes to my hardware or software running during this time.
