Process Lasso / Re: Optimizing CPU Usage with ...

Last post by dfguydga - Yesterday at 11:39:06 PM

I've had good results with Process Lasso by letting ProBalance handle background processes while keeping priorities mostly at default. For CPU-heavy work, I'd only adjust priority or CPU affinity when there's a specific reason, since aggressive settings can sometimes hurt performance rather than improve it.

Can you paste (or send by contact) your Diagnostics Report from the Help menu? That may give us a better idea of what you're experiencing.

General / Power Plan stays active after ...

Last post by amonggame - September 09, 2026, 12:18:11 AM

Hi everyone,

I'm testing Process Lasso with a few applications that I only want to run under a high-performance power plan temporarily. My expectation is that the normal Windows power plan should be restored once the application exits.

For example, my normal plan is Balanced, while a specific application triggers Bitsum Highest Performance through Performance Mode. The application runs correctly, but occasionally the high-performance plan remains active after the process has completely closed.

I have reproduced this several times, and the behavior seems inconsistent rather than happening after every launch. Has anyone else noticed this on recent versions of Process Lasso/Windows 11?

Is there a recommended way to determine whether another process is keeping the performance plan active, or whether Process Lasso is simply not detecting the application exit correctly? I'd also be interested in knowing which logs or settings are most useful for troubleshooting this.

I had a similar experience after reserving CPU cores and limiting games to selected threads. Latency initially felt better, but heavy loads sometimes caused freezes and unexpected restarts. Returning to the full core range fixed the instability. Thank you to the admin for documenting this so clearly—it helped me understand the trade-off.

Game Settings / Best Process Lasso Settings fo...

Last post by BunaGames - September 01, 2026, 08:33:02 PM

Hi everyone,

I've been experimenting with Process Lasso to improve performance while gaming, and I'm curious about the best settings for browser-based HTML5/WebGL games.

Unlike traditional PC games, browser games run inside Chrome or another browser process, so I'm not sure whether using CPU Sets, Performance Mode, ProBalance exclusions, or a specific power profile makes a noticeable difference.

I regularly test different browser games on BunaGames, especially racing, action, and WebGL games, and I'm mainly trying to reduce occasional frame drops when several browser tabs are open at the same time.

For people who use Process Lasso with Chrome or Edge:

1. Do you recommend excluding the browser from ProBalance while gaming?
2. Is Performance Mode useful for WebGL/HTML5 games?
3. Would assigning specific CPU cores to the browser improve consistency, or is it better to leave Windows scheduling alone?
4. Are there any Process Lasso settings that should specifically be avoided with browser games?

I'd be interested to hear what settings others are using and whether you've noticed a real improvement in frame times or responsiveness.

On your CPU, 0-15 is all CPU cores (the numbering starts at 0, so that's 16 total).

That's the normal affinity. That's how things started, and how it ended up . What you are seeing is the default state of your PC.

I don't think Process Lasso is the source of any continuing issues on your PC.

However, you can certainly uninstall it and then restart your PC to be sure that nothing it's done or doing is having an impact.

Process Lasso / Re: Rules Editor requests

Last post by Jeremy Collake - August 27, 2026, 10:23:39 AM

I can imagine how being able to disable rather than delete rules would be useful, and we'll consider implementing that! I've created a ticket for it and will reply again on any news. Thanks for the suggestion!

The "X" (excluded from ProBalance) will be seen on hard-coded exclusions. It's a signal to do nothing to that process.

Some processes, such as svchost.exe instances, will have CPU Sets that they themselves set. Process Lasso is reflecting that.

There's nothing left that Process Lasso is doing, so I think you'll eventually discover the issues you're having are elsewhere. However, to confirm that, you can uninstall Process Lasso for an extended period, say a few days.

Hope this helps!

I really just want to reset my stuff back to normal but it doesnt seem like there is a way to do it. so now I have to manually assign these things to cores? if i just uninstall lasso does this all go away?

Process Lasso / Re: Rules Editor requests

Last post by djc5166 - August 26, 2026, 05:30:49 PM

I was looking for something a little similar to 2) for rules. Would it be possible to have rules that are in your current profile but disabled? When trying things out it would be useful to be able to enable/disable a rule without editing or deleting it.

i havent fully tested out my pc after this issue came up. so I caned set the cores back to the way they used to be? someone else said i need to individually change them but I have no idea what I would change them to. does lasso automatically use all my cores and all that? I looked and it says mine i9 has 16 cores and the options lasso is giving me is 0-15 cores. I figured out the D drive issue. if all my stuffs at 0-15 is that an issue?
