Use Process Lasso's IdleSaver or ParkControl's Dynamic Boost, but don't use both. If you try to use both, Dynamic Boost will be disabled.

They do the same thing and detect idle the same way.

Process Lasso doesn't directly affect CPU downclocking. That is controlled by the power plan attributes. If your target idle power plan is configured as desired, it should be working. If you continue to encounter that, we can try to ferret out what you're seeing.

Last post by Jeremy Collake - August 27, 2024, 06:56:57 AM

We don't expect any change to Process Lasso specifically resulting from the AMD optimizations present in 24H2. Those improvements are at a lower level than the tuning you'd do with Process Lasso, so are simply a benefit.

Process Lasso / 24h2 Ryzen performance lift/br...

Last post by pixelcowboy - August 27, 2024, 12:47:50 AM

So, I was wondering how the development of 24h2 build of Windows increasing performance affects or works with Process Lasso? Will Process Lasso need an update for 24h2? Or will nothing need to change?

General / Power plan switching, ParkCont...

Last post by mattskiiau - August 26, 2024, 09:25:11 PM

Hey all,

Just wondering what your preferred or most optimized way of doing this is.

Currently, I have my own custom made power plan which down clocks and in turn, lowers voltages for my cpu in idle states very quickly.

I want to stop using it and have an out of the box solution, something like Highest Perf -> Balance plan in 1 sec timeout.
Should provide the same type of scenario of lowering clocks and voltages while browsing and watching youtube (I hope).

Would it be better to use Lasso for this or ParkControl?
Do they recognize "idle" differently?
Any other differences that are documented with Idlesaver(Lasso) vs Dynamic Boost(ParkControl)?

Thank you.

EDIT:
I have found a difference between the Lasso and PCP.
It seems Lasso is preventing Balance mode from downclocking the CPU, even with performance mode disabled and Freq Scaling set to 5% in PCP.
Is there a feature I'm missing in Lasso to prevent down clocking?

I'm sorry, but that is not currently a capability of Process Lasso.

Yikes! There aren't any known issues that would account for that. It actually sounds like both the GUI (ProcessLasso.exe) and Governor are being terminated, possibly by an external actor, then relaunched.

Can you copy/paste your INI file from menu item "File / Manually Edit Configuration"?

Then, in the log pane, select all rows with CTRL+A and copy/paste those here.

You can also optionally check to see if any dumps were created. See https://bitsum.com/diag/ for instructions to find them. I don't suspect there are, else you'd have gotten a message box about it.

Finally, if you are getting any other crashes or weird behavior from other apps, run some extended system stress tests to ensure the build integrity of your system.

here you go ! sorry for the late response thank you looking into this i do have a file in the logs folder but did not get any in the temp folders. And also I have been using process lasso for quite some time the crashing just happened recently so I'm sure it's not a hardware issue as I haven't changed my hardware for about 2 years. TT

Process Lasso / Terminate during recording ses...

Last post by eurocatgames - August 23, 2024, 06:12:37 PM

Is there a function or setting that will allow a process (non-system) to be terminated or paused while my recording software or game processes are active? Or maybe a when a power profile is active? Because I do have a few games set up to change the power plan to the Bitsum Highest Performance plan when they are active. I would just like to terminate or pause a process when that power plan is active.

Please let me know if this is possible! 

Thanks,

Kelly

Process Lasso / Filter process list

Last post by clabo - August 23, 2024, 01:11:12 PM

Is there an option to filter the displayed process list by a string? There are countless processes running on today's system, and I'm often only interested only in a specific one.

Process Lasso / Re: Instance Balancer and spre...

Last post by MPB - August 22, 2024, 11:46:22 AM

My initial tests of it went okay. I was using Notepad to test and see how the affinity was being randomized. I think I saw some issues where additional instances at one point no longer had an affinity, but when I tried to recreate that with another app (just cmd.exe) I wasn't seeing it, so I'm not totally sure.

Unfortunately my trial ran out once I got back from vacation so I may have to try this on a different system to retest how that's working.

I probably also need to play more with getting the initial program to have that setting as well as any child processes. I know I can do 2 rules to cover my bases there (like one for Notepad and another for the child processes of it, since Win11 Notepad actually kicks off a child process, sometimes). In that case the child process is also "notepad.exe" so it wouldn't matter, but in the case of "cmd.exe" it kicks off a child process of conhost, so in my test scenario I'd want that to have the affinity setting as well.

I didn't know if there was a simple "one entry" rule that would not only set the instance balancer for the process *and* child processes, or if it's just better to have "cmd.exe" and then also "childof:cmd.exe" ... I thought the regex might be the way to do that but I didn't get far enough reading about the different fields to know if a simple "cmd.exe" would actually match both cases anyway.

Last post by tacitmoyai - August 21, 2024, 11:59:39 PM

Process Lasso Install Assistant window doesn't show up though installhelper.exe is running ( in ProcessExplorer "Properties" dialog, after I click "Bring to Front" button, it says "No visible windows found for this process"). Can't reconfigure the way Process Lasso starts.
In Safe Boot all works fine.

You can use PowerShell or the Command Line to automate changing Lasso Profiles. This can help you automate the application of specific settings based on certain criteria. Use scripts or automation tools like AutoHotkey, AutoIt.
