Hi,
Just wondering, if Process lasso does have such capabilities, or if there is (possibly) a plan to see the sometimes implemented in the future:
- Can Process Lasso automatically suspend the process? (e.g. As the alternative to having the process terminated.) This could be help to manage "undesired" services or process, whose existence is monitored by other processes.
- While "keep PC awake" seems to prevent power saving from considered computer as idle, it does not seem to affect apps (like Skype of Business or MS Teams) from considering user being idle. It would be nice to have a feature, which could ensure that, user is not seen as idle by the apps. :)
Cheers!

It does not have any auto-suspend capability, but we've now logged this feature request.

We'll take a look at that and see what we can do!
Thanks for the feedback!
Ideas for new features in Watchdog
Is there a way to detect a process that is in the foreground and apply the appropriate rules?
For example
Set affinity to E core when chrome.exe is in the background and restore it when it is in the foreground
Suspend chrome.exe when game.exe is in the foreground and resume when it is in the background
Hangs its own process when game.exe is in the background for 10 minutes
We have plans to extend the Watchdog feature in a way that would cover this fine suggestion. I appreciate the feedback, and we'll see what we can do going forward!
