My BOINC screen saver (Einstein@Home) has stopped working in Windows 11. In Screen Saver Settings it just shows a blank screen and the BOINC Screen Saver never starts. Other Screen Savers such as Mystify preview properly and start. I also noticed that after installing boinc-buda-runner-wsl-installer that there is a PBOINC screen saver option that also doesn't work. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling BOINC, but that didn't solve the problem.

Any ideas on what the problem is?

Thanks.

I installed the new 8.2.11 version and it fixed the problem. Thanks again.

I have the problem with 8.2.11, so I will leave the ticket I opened open for now.
