Honestly, since this is a professional computer, I would avoid messing around with it too much. For educational reasons you could try to run clinfo (https://github.com/Oblomov/clinfo scroll down for windows binaries) to get some additional informations about what is going on in terms of OpenCL there.

Windows firewall can block internet access on a per app basis, so it is possible to connect to http://assign1.foldingathome.org:8080 on a web browser while not on the FAH client. You can temporarily disable windows firewall to check (find the setting "Turn Windows Defender Firewall on or off").

to kostuek, do not worry about the professional computer, we have one for each people and we can do whatever we want on them. If there is a problem we can easily format it, theses machines are for big compilation software and they do anything else.
You speak about OpenCL, and yes I have an error on it but for me OpenCL is related to the GPU, since I do not have one, I think the error comes from there, what do you think ?
to Stel2112, I just tried to disable the windows defender firewall but nothing change. the idea was good but it does not seems to be that.
Is there a kind of debug sotfware that anyone knows about which can confirm me that an application cannot access to the foldingathome.org domain ?
I tried to ping the server but even on my personal computer it does not work, they probably disable ICMP packets for security reason.

Just thought it's strange that OpenCL appears at all in the log, since there is no GPU. Not sure how the client behaves in that case.
