Folding Forum

Upon installing Win10 Pro update 22H2, the computer now puts itself to sleep when left unattended, whereas it used to run FAH in the background and only turn off the display. None of the sleep settings are changed. What happened, and how do I fix this? The computer is an Early 2008 Apple MacPro Dual...

PantherX, another option would be separate controls for CPU use. Allow "While I'm working" to be "Light," and "On Idle" to be "Full."

Joe_H, Why don't they just fudge the issue of the number of cores available to a WU? Have an optional setting that would always boost CPU use to "Full" temporarily when downloading WUs, then return it to wherever it had been before. I can't believe the WU take long to download. No one woul...

Browser is Firefox. Have cleared caches. "The WU shown in the log was downloaded when your client was set to light, it will never use more than the 3 CPU threads it was set to at assignment time. Once finished the next WU would use more CPU threads." Interesting. The control panel seems to...

Reading the log.txt file: 17:10:57:WU02:FS00:0xa7:Completed 220000 out of 250000 steps (88%) I can see that the current, long project is 88% complete. So, by reading the log, I should be able...

UPDATE:

The two other FAH tasks that initially show in Resource Monitor, but that vanish when I start to use the computer, are:

FahCore_a7.exe
FAHCoreWrapper.exe

UPDATE: The Web-browser based control panel is set to run FAH at "Light Power, While I Am Working." The last time I used it, it was set to "Medium Power, Only When Idle." Upon beginning to use the computer again after a period when it was idle, the Resource Monitor displays: FAHC...

My computer is now displaying the following dialog: -------- Folding@home Disconnected The Folding@home software on your computer has most likely stopped. Please restart it, then reload this page. -------- Not knowing how to restart FAH, I simply deleted it, restarted the computer, and reinstalled a...
