Confirmed!!
Good point, Jacob.
I have tried it both on Win 10 x64 (Insider) and Win 7 x64 ,
and the DIFFERENCE is:
When I try to close it on Win7 x64 , it properly asks for the
changes in Computer ..... admin rights , to close the service.
On Win 10 , *it does NOT ask for this!* So thats the source
of the problem, se it seems to me. :)

> > > * client and API: pass list of app version files in init_data.xml
> > > * client: fix bug where elapsed time increased while suspended
> > > * Manager: display total credit with thousands separators
> > > * client: if app reports frac done outside [0,1] write message
> > > * client: if a GPU exclusion refers to non-existent device num, ignore

> > > * client: change cpu_sched_debug log messages to show job's GPU type
> > > * client: if app reports fract done > 1, use asymptotic formula
> > > * Mac uninstaller: Fix a hang bug on some older versions of OS X
> (including 10.6.8.)
> > > * Mac installer: attempt to prevent a rare installer crash when system
> is set for a language other than English.
> > > * client: On Macs, fix failure to recognize CUDA devices when BOINC is
> launched automatically at login before CUDA has initialized at system boot.
> > > * lib: add function for formatting numbers w/ digit grouping
> > > * client: if app reports fraction done outside 0..1, truncate
> > > * Mac installer: Fix bug introduced in my commit 3e1428c which
> prevents installing on OS X older than OS 10.9 unless BOINC users and
> groups already exist (i.e., which causes a clean install to fail.)
> > > * client: Avoid kernel panics at system boot when running as a service
> / daemon under Mac OS 10.10.4.
> > > * Manager: use lighter red for error fields
> > > * MGR: in Advanced Preferences dialog highlight textedit field with
> illegal value by setting its background to red.
> > > * Manager: in prefs dialog, buffer size limits are 10, not 100
> > > * client: fix job scheduling bug that starves CPU instances
> > > * Manager: string tweaks
> > > * Manager: typo fix
> > > * Manager: show executable filename in task properties
> > > * MGR: Make the average and total credit strings translatable and add

> > > * Manager: reorder items in simple view prefs
> > > * Manager: show last RPC time in project properties
> > > * client: parse ARM CPU model
> > > * LIB: setbuf() only disables the CRT buffer and flush only works
