I'm seeing a *lot* of tasks cancelled by server, occurring on various hosts. All are on Windows, either 7 or 10. I wonder if these are just VM tasks that are being cancelled on hosts that do not have VM installed? Hrm.

Sometime this is done, when a Linux-native Task is finishing earlier than the end-time of the Windows task.
So it is not useful to let them running again.
I think, they need some results quicker than the end-time of WIndows tasks.
Have this also seen in my Computers.

That are SixTrack tasks sent to you after a wingman did not return a result after one week.
However before your task was started that wingman meanwhile returned a valid result and so the workunit was complete (quorum 2).
It's not useful to run that task on your computer a third time and so it's cancelled.
