Title: How to set Priority to specific process
Post by: sTv on November 07, 2025, 01:36:25 PM

I want to set CPU or memory priorities and I want the process to always start with this priority, so I select "always".
Problem is that the priority is automatically set for all processes with the same name. (ArkAscendedServer.exe) I would like to adjust the priority only for a specific process.

Hm, does Process Lasso have any support system for license owners?

Yes, you can always contact us (https://bitsum.com/contact). Forum responses may be more sporadic because we spend so much time wading through bot spam.

You need to find a way to differentiate between the process instances, if possible. For example, you could add a unique command line parameter to select instance(s) that would enable you to match on that with a wildcard (e.g. "*/myparam*"). I'm unclear on your usage scenario so can't be certain if that is feasible or not. Alternatively, if you only want that one instance to launch with a particular affinity, you can create a batch file to do so, as described at the bottom of this page: https://bitsum.com/tools/cpu-affinity-calculator/

Is there a way to set the priority of RAM using a startup batch file? Or can I achieve launching the process with lower RAM priority using match on wildcard?

There is unfortunately no way to set the memory priority while using the CLI's start command (batch file method).

If you can copy the EXE to another name for these instances, that might be a good solution.
