Nevermind, I found the fix when browsing in this forum: I just had to suspend task, restart BOINC and unsuspend task as described in problem with de_nbody tasks never finishing. The remaining time is now at 2 hours. Next time I'll browse the forums more before asking.

"Have you tried turning it off and on again?" proven true once more ...

That did not work unfortunately: I suspended all other tasks and set them to no new tasks. I also closed every other application that used significant amounts of RAM (Browser, Spotify etc.). It (the process milkyway_nbody_1.76_windows_x86_64__mt.exe ) still uses 0% when supposedly running.

Here is the task and memory usage log of that try:

I have suspended the task for now since running it prevents other tasks from using my CPU.

Hi,

This task for 4 CPUs: https://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/workunit.php?wuid=2000974954 even when suspending all other tasks, does not use my CPU at all anymore and appears stuck .

But it somehow got to 17.188%. Is my CPU too old for the rest of the task?

Should I cancel it?
