Last modified: 6 May 2021, 10:21:32 UTC Does Win+Ctrl+Shift+B not work? I've never heard of it before so googled it and found this: "From a discussion with an AMD Radeon driver engineer, it does NOT restart the graphics driver. It does appear to discard the desktop surface buffer and re-create the allocation from DWM (on a healthy system the desktop goes black for a second). " ID: 3323 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I've been in the tech realm for decades and have never heard of this. Very odd, but I'll try it next time things get wonky. Should I yell, "Hold my beer" first?

It will "...discard the desktop surface buffer and re-create the allocation from DWM" I rather doubt this will affect Boinc much at all, but I'll be curious to tinker with it.
