Well, that's a showstopper.
Can people check if it happens on all Win versions?
Rom, any theories?
What's changed in the Manager since 7.6?

I'm still seeing it on Windows 10, for both regular and service installs.
I thought I gave repro steps before, when 7.7.x was first released.
Install BOINC. Restart PC. Login to Windows. Sometimes Manager shows tray icon and
no window and stops running (leaving stale tray icon the disappears on hover). Other
times, on startup from login, Manager prompts for projects with an empty project
list, and user must click cancel to proceed.
I would think this is reproducible on Windows 7, but I don’t use such obsolete
software anymore..

I couldn't repro this on Win 7.
Anyone else see it? What Win version?
What is exact repro scenario?

Hi David,
Was anything done to fix the 7.7.x+ BOINC Manager issue at Windows login, where
either it doesn't load properly leaving a stale icon in the tray, or loads but
shows a Project Add dialog that requires cancellation? This is the #1 issue I had
with the 7.7.x releases.
Note: This reply is being sent only to you and BOINC Alpha.

I released 7.8.0 for testing (Windows 32 and 64, with and without VBox).
Alpha testers: this is a potential public release candidate;
please test it thoroughly, including the VBox versions.
Changes relative to 7.7.2:
- Vbox installers have Vbox 5.1.22 rather than 5.1.18 (should work on Win 10)
minor changes:
- On startup, show alternate platforms
- On startup, show account manager name if using one
- Don't crash if can't open gui_rpc_auth.cfg
- Fix display of max disk usage
support for future features (not testable at this point):
- Add mechanism for account managers to send opaque data to schedulers
- Include peak FLOPS in GPU descriptions sent to AMs and schedulers
- Add GUI RPCs for read/write app_config.xml files (for BOINCTasks)
