There was a mistake in the build of v7.48 and it did not pick up the latest code.

I have the same problems on a machine where I used WSL. I don't get Theory's even not from the LHC-production server on that machine.
BOINC requests work, but always get the reply: "No tasks are available for Theory Simulation", although I get tasks on a machine where I never had WSL activated.
Even disable WSL in Windows features does not help.
Maybe Laurence could try to add "Run test applications" to the preferences again, because that disappeared at the same time as Theory's docker app.

Had AMD-V disabled and Theory Task started, but of course with message Hardware-Acceleration is not enabled.
Yes, it‘s better to have an venue for this.

Did you set '<dont_use_vbox>1</dont_use_vbox>' in cc_config.xml?

To get vbox tasks this must be removed or set to
<dont_use_vbox>0</dont_use_vbox>

A new version was created v7.51, but the VM contains remnants of an old job

===> [runRivet] Wed Apr 16 12:54:58 PM UTC 2025 [boinc pp jets 13000 280 - pythia8 8.306 eetherm 100000 42] ................ up to 69500 events

Please create a new clean vdi to start new jobs with.

Version 7.50 was running perfectly from my point of view.
