I have no problems getting wu's. All systems are win10 (20H2) 64Bit with at least 8GB Ram, all different NVidia cards.

I'm sorry you're having trouble. BOINC's scheduler can be a bit tempermental. Here a few reasons why a machine won't get GPU tasks:

- You haven't checked the GPU applications in preferences (Project->Preferences at the top of this page), remember that you only get GPU WUs if you're signed up for the GPU app.
- The system doesn't meet the minimum requirements (see https://www.mlcathome.org/mlcathome/forum_thread.php?id=127 , the same cuda and driver requirements exist for Windows).
- There's no GPU WUs available (there are plenty)
- There's a bug on our end/the CDN is messing things up (unlikely as others are not reporting this issue)

There could be other reasons too, but please make sure you check the above first.

Yes this is very strange. Last week I had 48 GPU task on this computer, all ended successfully. Nothing has been changed on this machine since then.
On another machine - see thread https://www.mlcathome.org/mlcathome/forum_thread.php?id=147 - I get GPU task without ending, but ALL fail.
Very strange..

I think I just found the bug. I erased the computer location. So now it has none.
Now I`m also getting GPU tasks again.
Maybe this will work for others with same issue.

Are you running the MLC CPU tasks too? BOINC gets all mixed up in that case. Use separate machines.
