Title: CPU affinities not following rules upon Bitwig launch
Post by: pruvancz on April 03, 2026, 03:39:31 PM
I've set up some rules for my DAW so that it runs on cores 12-32 (AMD 5950x CPU). I've set them to "always" for Bitwig's relevant executables (bitwig.exe, plugin-host.exe, audio-engine.exe). Purpose being, I'd like to ensure Bitwig is primarily running on the cores which (as far as I can tell) are underutilized and almost never used by other programs or Windows.

However, every time I re-launch Bitwig, the "current" affinities never correspond to the rules I've set, and I have to manually set the "current" affinities to the set that I've created.

Questions:

Please ensure that menu item "Options > Forced Mode" is checked. Some processes set their own CPU affinities and Process Lasso won't fight with them unless Forced Mode is enabled. Let me know if this helps!
