I have had this happen before and did for a couple minutes last night.

When I reboot some of the T4T's start right back up and some look like they are running but I had 2 that just stayed at 2% and when I check the ProgressFile I see this instead of the normal Progress number 1.06319e+248

But they gracefully sent them in and I started new tasks.

Hi Magic,

When the power goes out the ProgressFile is not updated correctly and you get that error. The data is not updated, and that's why you get the bug.

The good news is that after you canceled the WU, you obtained a new one and now it seems to be working fine.

Regards,

Daniel
