A possible solution, given through the thread on the BOINC forums
(https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=10422):

"May sound daft, but win 10 has two settings in Personalization; Lock Screen.
One is screen timeout settings and the other Screen saver settings.

I had set the screen to turn off and set the screen saver to BOINC and
whilst the preview worked it never started.

I then changed the Screen timeout to never and it seems to work."
