Hi,
I am running BOINC Manager 7.6.33 x64 on Windows 10 x64.

I've set in my preferences to pause GPU computation if the computer has been in use within the last 1 minute. This setting does not seem to affect applications that crunch with the GPUS; Mine being GPUGrid and PrimeGrid.

Welcome to the BOINC forums.
Please make sure that you have your Activity (BOINC Manager->Advanced view->Activity menu) set to "Run based on preferences" and "Use GPU based on preferences". If it's set to "Run always" BOINC will ignore preferences set for time- and movement based suspension.

Thank you. Turns out I goofed and had GPU set to "Use GPU Always". Thanks
