Development for LHC@home

I have only Windows Defender and I asked Microsoft to notify before installing any update that requires a reboot. But Windows 10 Home edition which resulted from an update of 8.1 has the habit of rebooting without any reason, and this often causes the Virtual Machines to go into Powered off. I then have to restart them manually and if they go in the Unaccessible state I abort them. Tasks with shorter duration like Atlas@home are less affected. This and the fact that RDP does not exist on Windows 10 Home edition while it existed on 8.1 makes impossible to see the consoles (but I see those of the Challenge)so I am flying blind most of the times. Cheers.

I also have Defender on mine but also use a couple other free programs to back that up because Microsoft will even tell you to do that to make sure you don't have a virus problem.

I think you need to do that and if you want some links to good ones to use just send me a pm.

Like I have told you before one of my 6 hosts is basically the same as what you have and it also went from Win8.1 to the same version of Windows 10 as you have and I don't ever have the problem you are having and I alos have 3 others running Win10 so I know yours isn't rebooting all the time because of the Win10 OS

Mine has no problems running CMS,Atlas,and vLHC X2 along with Einstein GPU's X2 all at the same time.

The only errors I ever get is when I happen to reboot when doing other types of reboots for things like new GeForce drivers or my power goes out.

And I have been using the newest versions of Boinc and VB to run all of those VB types of LHC projects with no problems.........even on this laptop I am on right now.

Other than a virus/malware type problem have you checked the CPU/GPU temp to see if it has any over heating problems?

I don't do that "Challange" over at vLHC but I of course run the regular vLHC tasks X12 every day since March 2011

My CPU is perfect and I check it on Task Manager. I can see the consoles on the CERN Challenge but not on the other BOINC projects. On VLHC@home I see the charts, on CMS-dev I see the logs, on Atlas@home I see nothing. I have only Microsoft software on this PC and don't want any antivirus, since I only connect to BOINC servers.
