Connection drops on V7.6.21 under Windows 10
Posted: Thu Aug 28, 2025 7:20 am
Hi all,
Since updating to V7.6.21 on my Windows 10 rig, the client launches fine and starts processing a unit, but after about 5–10 minutes it drops the connection and shuts down. Checked the network, firewall and even ran it as admin, but no luck. Everything worked perfectly on the previous version, so it’s a bit annoying to see units fail like this. I usually let Folding run in the background while getting on with other work, and this just interrupts the workflow entirely. Spotted a few threads mentioning similar issues but nothing that matches exactly what’s happening here. Any experiences or pointers from others running this version would be really handy.
Cheers!
