Hello,

on my old Windows 7 System mlds does not terminate the process even after upload of the workunit. The process remains in the task with zero cpu activity and all old workunits must be removed by hand to free the memory. It appears only in Windows 7, not Windows 10. It's not a problem of BOINC because other project's work units are removed correctly after upload.

With kind regards

RA

Confirmed!
I've seen this reported before, but not narrowed down to Windows 7?
After your post, I re-attached a Windows 7 host to MLC and sure enough, Windows task manager shows 11 instances of mlds.exe that should not be there right now. 0 cpu usage but holding onto memory. The host has many more than 11 completed tasks, so it seems that some tasks terminate do properly.

As per this thread: https://www.mlcathome.org/mlcathome/forum_thread.php?id=235

I also had a Win 8 machine running the app but only on 1 thread, I didn't see any evidence that it was having the same problem but I didn't look that hard and just set NNT and aborted what I had.

Mam problem z GPU. Ustawiony boinc mam na GPU, ale działa tylko CPU. Gdzieś w Internecie jest instrukcja jak odpalić GPU w projektach z GPU?
