Ver, 7.83 (x64)
Windows 10, all available updates,
Running Seti@home, Einstein@home, Climate prediction.net
Sometime today, instead of the screensaver running, all I get is the "BOINC Screensaver is Loading" screen, I have reinstalled boinc, my drivers are all up to date, Windows 10 is up to date. Have rebooted numerous times, anyone have any thoughts on what might be going on? Thanks for any help.

I think that's been reported on the BOINC testing group and it's something under investigation so you're not alone. Beyond that, I don't have any more info beyond it's some weird idiosyncrasy with Windows.

I think I fixed the problem, the other day when done using my web cam, I just unplugged it, without shutting the app down first. Today I shut the app down first then unplugged the Webcam, Screensaver is now back.

I also just see "screen saver loading" and that has been going on for years. I thought that was the normal behavior!
