Finally fixed Elden Ring by doing this and while looking things up I noticed several other posts around reddit for other games saying how it helps edge out performance. I'm not trying to spend days completely optimizing my new rig but I was going to go through all my games and set them all to high priority anyway, so unchecking cpu 0 (and cpu 1 maybe??) wouldn't take any more time. Is that the move or are there potential downsides? Are there any games I should definitely uncheck it for like Elden Ring?
Normally games aren't CPU bound enough so that removing a single logical CPU core matters mauch. So, I don't think trying that will impede performance. As for which other games, if any, you should apply this adjustment to, I don't have the answer to that. It varies a lot by system, game and user.
I'd recommend experimenting and asking respective game communities for tuning tips. However, keep in mind the adage "Don't fix what isn't broken" and be conservative in your adjustments.
