(moderation:
My Boinc Manager is not changing the program it runs every 60 min. (My pre-set limit,) Instead all it computers is einstein@home, gets new units and works on those. It does not rotate to LCH@home or QMC@home. How do I fix this?
Thank You,
David

Please exit BOINC, then restart it.
Now go to the Messages tab and copy all the messages there and post them here.
Let's see if you are in Earliest deadline First mode, or that it's just (more probable) the work scheduler that gives time back to Einstein@Home, after LHC and QMC have had their runs..

Thank you. Here is my messages from when I start my computer.

And there you go. The magic words.
You have one, or more, Einstein results that are close to their deadline. BOINC is trying to crunch, upload and report them before their deadline is up. And even though it may look like it, it isn't downloading new work until you see a message alike "work fetch allowed" and "running round robin" in the list.
Thank you very much for your

Adjust your "connect to"

Adjust your "connect to" setting to a lower amount. I don't know what you set it to, but if it's at 5 days, try something like 3 days. Then Update BOINC.
I can't see your computers as you hid them, so I don't know how much work you still have to sit through before it'll run round robin again and work fetch is allowed.
