Last post by Jeremy Collake - June 09, 2026, 12:48:41 PMWhat does CPUBalance say it has acted on during this period, if anything? There are sometimes "natural" variances in throughput to NVMe devices as buffers and caches fill.
I'd recommend first switching to Process Lasso instead of CPUBalance. It is kept more up to date.

General / CPUBalance Causing Stutters Du...
Last post by davidfnf - June 09, 2026, 06:38:01 AMHi all,
I'm Dan, and I've been using CPUBalance for a couple of months on my Windows 11 PC. The machine has an Intel i5-12400F, 32GB RAM, and an NVMe SSD. I mostly use it for gaming, web browsing, and transferring large media files between drives.
Recently, I noticed something odd. Whenever I'm copying a few hundred gigabytes of video files and doing other things at the same time, CPUBalance starts showing activity and my system stays responsive, but the file transfer speed becomes very inconsistent. It'll run at full speed for a while, then suddenly drop, then recover again.
As a test, I temporarily exited CPUBalance and repeated the transfer. The speed graph looked much steadier, although the system felt slightly less responsive when multitasking.
I'm not sure if CPUBalance is actually affecting the transfer process or if it's just a coincidence. Has anyone seen similar behavior when moving large amounts of data? Are there any settings or exclusions I should check?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Process Lasso / Re: Process Lasso Pro stutteri...
Last post by marktuan - June 07, 2026, 05:26:49 AMQuote from: tamalero on September 17, 2019, 01:48:39 AMThe issue:
Since today, out of nowhere, Process Lasso started to lag horribly.
Its like it takes up to 3 seconds to open menus, change options, etc..
This seems to affect also EXPLORER.1000 games
Weirdly, there is no rule affecting Explorer. I have changed nothing.
Infact, this problem started when Process Lasso was visible on one my screens and Metro Exodus was minimized in the other.
further reboots yielded no changes. Same stuttering.
I then proceeded to reset configurations to default. Same issue.
Stopping the Process Lasso CORE process yields no changes, the GUI is still sluggish.
This does not affect other apps like Chrome, or Firefox or Thunderbird.
It does affect METRO EXODUS somehow (one large freeze every 3 seconds).
Process Lasso itself detects no stuttering, no changes in responsiveness.
Now the wierd part, after resetting and restarting the program. The program still did show some fixed affinities set despite them not visible in the fixed affinities list.
Information:
Process Lasso Pro: Version 9.3.0.44 x64 (used 9.2.X.X before and updated today, same issue).
Windows: Windows 10 10.0.18362.356 X64
Attached DX Diag for Hardware Specs and other information.
DUMP files:

https://www.mediafire.com/file/7v1uxpsy1e6lfyk/ProcessLasso.DMP/file
That is a very unusual issue, especially since stopping the Process Lasso core process didn't change the behavior and Explorer was affected as well. The fact that Metro Exodus was experiencing periodic freezes at roughly the same interval makes me wonder whether there was another system-level issue occurring at the same time, such as a driver problem, Windows update, storage latency, or a background service repeatedly hanging.
One thing that stands out is your observation that some persistent affinities appeared to remain after resetting the configuration. That could indicate that not all settings were cleared successfully or that a configuration file became corrupted during the update. Have you tried completely uninstalling Process Lasso, manually removing any remaining configuration files, and then testing with a clean installation?
I'm also curious whether Windows Event Viewer showed any recurring warnings or errors around the time the freezes occurred. If Explorer, Metro Exodus, and the Process Lasso UI were all stuttering together, that seems broader than a simple Process Lasso rule misconfiguration.

Last post by fifthportfolio - June 05, 2026, 11:51:23 PMQuote from: tamalero on September 17, 2019, 01:48:39 AMThe issue:ProBalance is best left on default settings for most users. It already does a great job out of the box by lowering the priority of background processes that hog the CPU, which helps keep your system responsive during heavy loads.

Process Lasso / Re: How to use Process Lasso t...
Last post by Jeremy Collake - June 02, 2026, 10:06:25 PMIf this is an Intel CPU with E-cores, set Efficiency Mode OFF rules for those processes, as they may otherwise get relegated to the E-cores and that would substantially impede their performance. Setting the priority classes ("CPU priorities" in Process Lasso) of those processes to "High" would also achieve this, and might be something you'd want to do regardless.
If there are other processes contending for the CPU, then you could try constraining their CPU affinity by dropping a few cores and reducing their priorities.
If the load is entirely within this application and nothing else is vying for system resources, then your options get more limited. The nature of the application's work processing, namely its threading model, wouldn't be something that could be externally affected.
Finally, if the load is bursting, and you're not already in a high performance power plan, then you may benefit from use of "Performance Mode" on those processes.

Process Lasso / Re: A few clarifications
Last post by Peppo - June 02, 2026, 04:49:03 PMThanks for the information and advice,
to avoid any doubt, we tried it on a properly reinstalled system without internet access, but the problem persists.
It seemed to us more likely to be due to a "non-recognition" from the energy saving mode, whether manually set or activated by an .exe application rule. The settings are standard Windows and with Balanced energy profile it works but not with the other higher-performance profiles.
Unfortunately we didn't notice it right away, among the various program updates, since ProBalance didn't have to intervene that often. It's a shame for such a useful feature, but it doesn't matter.
Thanks again.

Process Lasso / How to use Process Lasso to im...
Last post by TecHKnow - June 02, 2026, 10:34:01 AMHi
I hope somebody can advise. I was pointed this way. Bought the software and now I'm faced with "What do I do with it".
Here is the problem. I have an audio program called DJ.Studio which I use to produce mixes as a DJ. My system is six years old. I have 16GB on board and the CPU (on task manager) is hovering around 30% when in use. However, if I do complex mixes involving STEM separation, this can increase CPU usage and memory usage to nearly 80-90%. Any work is slow.
I know I need a CPU with more clock cpu's (My computer has four I understand) and maybe more memory. However, How can i use Process Lasso in the right way to improve things. I'm looking for smoother transitions and less slowing down of the mix processing.
Any help would be appreciated

Process Lasso / Re: For OBS, would obs-ffmpeg-...
Last post by brianallen - May 31, 2026, 06:54:59 PMFrom what I've seen, I probably wouldn't give obs-ffmpeg-mux.exe special treatment unless you're seeing an actual bottleneck tied to it.
obs64.exe does the heavy lifting during capture, encoding, scene rendering, plugins, etc. The mux process is generally more of a helper that handles packaging/writing the output stream. It's usually short-lived and much lighter on CPU usage compared to the main OBS process.
If your recordings are already stable and you're using the Bitsum Highest Performance plan plus the common OBS tweaks, I'd keep the tuning focused on obs64.exe. Adding aggressive priorities to helper processes can sometimes create unintended competition for resources.
That said, if you're seeing delayed finalization, recording hangs, or disk I/O spikes at the end of recordings, then it might be worth monitoring obs-ffmpeg-mux.exe specifically in Process Lasso and checking whether it's actually becoming a constraint.
I'd be interested to hear if anyone has benchmarked this with long recordings or high bitrate captures.

Last post by nollsclsh - May 31, 2026, 08:06:38 AMQuote from: smith jhon on November 05, 2025, 09:51:20 AMHey everyone,Have you compared the OCR accuracy and PDF quality of CamScanner with alternatives like Microsoft Lens or Adobe Scan, especially when scanning technical logs and process reports?
Long-time Process Lasso user here (love the real-time CPU optimization!). I often take screenshots of process graphs or export logs to PDF when troubleshooting client machines.
I've been using CamScanner MOD APK on Android — it's fully unlocked (no ads, no watermarks, unlimited OCR) and makes scanning handwritten notes, whiteboards, or printed logs super fast. Export to searchable PDF → drop into OneDrive → done.
Here's the safe download (latest v6.78.0, updated weekly):
https://camscannerpro.com/.
Curious: What mobile tools do you use to document system tweaks or Lasso reports on the go? Bonus points for offline OCR! 😊
Cheers!
