Hi,

Still trying to understand the various elements of MW@H
Is it normal for 1 Task, per my Title to be the only running Task/WU..??
It appears the WU's of Type "Milkyway@Home N-Body Simulation.. " do this, on 3 PC's
When it starts the other 7 change to "waiting to run"

We all are.

For n-body units, as you have here, yes. I suggest you uncheck n-body work in your preferences, that will make things settle out.

That's because n-body units require the entire CPU to run, whether the n-body app actually appears to be using all cores or not is irrelevant. Again, go to your preferences and uncheck the n-body and uncheck the send work for other applications box.
