I'll have to look into that. I have installed BOINC as a service on Windows 10 before, but that was a while ago now.

The main limiting factor I experienced on every Windows OS after Windows XP is that a service install locks BOINC out of using the GPU. This is due to Windows, so nothing the BOINC team can fix or change...

hm.. maybe it was on more Wins, I don't know. Could well be an update that was also for the older OSes. It worked 2 years ago, I know that :D
