Device Manager shows "work" Log shows "home"

WCG 7.2.47
WCG 7.2.42

The WCG Device Manager shows Selected Profile values as "work" for three Devices (two are Windows_x86_64 and one is x86_64-pc-linux-gnu).
The problem is that WCG Event log Computer Location shows "home".

Device Manager shows each of the three devices as having have at least two entries of the same name using the Installed/Registered Device: Anytime (All Devices) and With Result(s) Returned: Anytime (All Devices)

Each of the devices switch between W7 and Ubuntu 14.4 LTS periodically.

Re: Device Manager shows "work" Log shows "home"

This can also happen if you have multiple projects, as BOINC manager uses the set that has been updated most recently.

Re: Device Manager shows "work" Log shows "home"

The event log tells "Who's" project device profile is in effect. Kind of an art to overlook this indicator...

Troubles exists 3 days now.
My general preference comes from WCG, although I always use local prefs.
The general prefs are 3 months old:

Re: Device Manager shows "work" Log shows "home"

This evening switching profiles works a bit better.
Will see tomorrow whether that's lasting or just luck smile
