Before you say anything, yes, I know this has been posted a thousand times. But I recently built a new computer and upgraded to Windows 11. I have gone through the checklist, numerous times, and I'm quite frustrated and getting to the point of giving up. Hyper -V and anything else VM related in windows is off and uninstalled. Core isolation is off. No WSL's. SVM is enabled in BIOS. CPU-V gives me two green checks. Virtubox appears to work. Computer hardware is current.

Yet, it says "CPU does not have hardware virtualization support". Event log simply states "No Tasks Sent". The computer page also says it completed a task, but it never has, and the date is wrong. Startup event log is:

LHC seems to have combined my pre-build rig (Win10 FX8350) with my new rig. Can they be unmerged? Any idea what's going on here in general? Would this update on the LHC page if I did get it right, or do I need to start over?

Thanks!

Seeing this line with Teams.exe. Don't know what it is?
Team from Win11?

Make sure you've got virtualisation enabled in the BIOS. Without it being enabled then most(all?) VM won't run properly.
As for Teams.exe - teams is MS's conferencing software, a bit like Zoom, but done by MS. This may be shipped and auto-installed with Windows 11. Check through the load at boot list and, unless you really need it, it can be safely removed.

SVM is enabled in BIOS. Also, VM does work, and CPU-V gives me two green checks. As for Teams, its installed, but it's not running. If I did, it simply wouldn't run any WU, and other WU's work fine. LHC is the only problem.

Teams is Microsoft Teams. It's like Skype/Zoom. It does not run at boot and does not run in the background. Besides, that would stop WU's from processing, not prevent WUs from being downloaded. Nor does it explain the "CPU does not have hardware virtualization support" notation. It's something else and I have no idea what.

Sometimes teams will do a "dummy start" during boot, but as you say it shouldn't stop BOINC running tasks from projects, unless it has been added to the "don't run if one of the these apps is running" list, in which case BOINC will prevent any task from running.

Yes, Teams typically starts on boot and runs in the background as a default. I've turned that off. Its also not running in task manager. But as I was saying, that would only pause WU's, not prevent them from downloading. It would also pause all WU's for all projects, and all other projects work fine. I also set it to "run always" so that and other preferences are ignored anyway. So its not the Teams rule.

This Processor is a new one.
It can be, you need some updates (BIOS, or from Windows) to let it running with
