Computer is noisy, had to take a phone call. In boinc manager, selected projects, then suspend, and bada bing bada boom, computer is quiet. All tasks say 'Suspended - user request' . So far, so good. In trying to resume all tasks, selected projects, then select/highlight my account name, the select resume. All tasks are still in 'Suspended - user request'.
In highlighting an individual task, all I can do is toggle between 'Suspended - user request' and 'task suspended by user'.

How do I get back to running?

Just an idea: In Boinc Manager, under the Activity tab, does it show Run Always, Run Based on Preferences, or Suspend?
