Getting too many tasks, have to keep aborting hundreds, even while running 24x7

Hello,

Problem: BOINC keeps giving me way way too many tasks, machine cannot possibly do them all and I have to keep killing them.

I am wasting a bunch of my time periodically checking this machine a few times a week and aborting HUNDREDS of tasks.

BOINC version 7.16.11 x64, running under Windows 10 Pro. Machine basically dedicated to Einstein@home. Runs 24x7.

Older HP Z620 machine, dual-CPU XEON E5 2680 v2s-[at]-2.8 GHz. I also have a GTX 970 GPU in the machine.

Please help.

Any ideas?

At one point not long ago, I got rid of all tasks, disconnected and re-connected as requested since I had two accounts or something, but that didn't fix it.

FYI - I have another more modern machine running AMD and I cannot remember what I did, but it no longer has this problem. I tried the same thing to this one, and whatever it was didn't work.
