Process Lassos uses a lot of the hidden powers of the Win32 process management API to change priorities, affinity, and energy management of processes.

    Easy way to temporarily halt some of the ridiculous Windows power-saving and efficiency features. Especially helpful if you are running something that is CPU-bound in a terminal window that you want to keep in the background but still have perform well, like x265 in my case.

Mz CPU Accelerator + Process Lasso work great together! Mz CPU Accelerator speeds up the program you're using, and Process Lasso slows down the ones you aren't using. Neither is perfect at doing what the other does, although Process Lasso can do weaker job of what Mz CPU Accelerator does.

Process Lasso is one of those apps that does what it promises to do, however it's not magic and does require some know how. Process Lassos uses a lot of the hidden powers of the Win32 process management API to change priorities, affinity, and energy management of processes. It also comes with some nice features like GPU priority from the graphics API, power profiles, their proprietary algorithm ProBalance that manages priority of processes in real time depending on the overall responsiveness of the system, and memory trimming that reduces big working sets to reduce available memory into free memory. For the price tag it's a pretty robust tool for advanced users.

The only tool I know that really memorizes process priority. It now has a dark theme too.

Good for optimizing my old laptop, it's more usable than before.

Not useful for low end PC. But gives some more utilization power on High End PC.

won't recommended for low end pc users, it will have no effect.

I'm using it on a really low end pc, now the pc is usable, before it couldn't even open the browser

What is Process Lasso?

Process Lasso is NOT yet another task manager. It is a process priority optimization and system automation utility. Priority optimization, affinity optimization, core optimization, automated rules, automated power schemes, you name it and Process Lasso has it. Although most consider Lasso the ultimate process priority optimizer, it does so much more!

Process Lasso's most popular feature is the unique process optimization technology called ProBalance (Process Balance) that will improve your PC's responsiveness and stability through process priority optimization and/or CPU affinity adjustments. Windows, by design, allows programs to monopolize your CPU without sufficient restraint -- leading to hangs, micro-lags, and delays in your keystroke or mouse actions. ProBalance intelligently adjusts the priorities and/or CPU affinities of running programs, on-demand, as-needed so that badly behaved processes won't negatively impact the responsiveness of your PC.
