Hey Charlie.
TL;DR I think there is/was something in the original BOINC Data directory ( from old versions pre .6 ) that must have gotten messed/crossed up - causing all issues.
Removed all traces of .6 &then did total clean install of .6 and then the upgrade to .11 , added all my projects back in - no further issues…
— From my ( worthless rabbit hole ) testing..
I re-tested this morning by uninstalling .11, moved BOINC Data. Re-Installed 6 with my saved BOINC Data directory ( under version .6)
Then I did an upgrade to .11 ( upgrading the ‘.6’ Data directory ) - all went OK.
I then added ‘BOINC Manager’ to ‘Don’t Compute’ ( hoping that would stop it ).

If I Stop BOINC. Move the good .11 Boinc Data directory back into place - all is good.
I’m not sure what old config files are messing things up - but an upgrade from .6 -> .9. -> .10(?) -> 11 and moving/saving directories may have messed things up.

—- AT this point, It would appear to the casual observer - that I have indeed, messed things up somehow and I can’t trust my results.
Removed all traces of BOINC ( data, user prefs )
I
Re-installed 6. Default after running
Cancelled.
- Added Project from to toolbar - The COPY URL is still greyed out - but ‘clickable link still works )
- I’m not sure, why after removing my preferences - and the add World Community Grid, Preferences showed from Einstein -

Performed tests that were failing with exclusive apps after clean install/upgrade - no further issues.
- cheers from the field.
