Process Lasso / Terminate during recording ses...
Last post by eurocatgames - August 23, 2024, 06:12:37 PMIs 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 PMIs 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 AMMy 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 PMQuote from: Seir1993 on May 21, 2024, 11:25:42 PMProcess 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.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.
In Safe Boot all works fine.

Process Lasso / Re: Automatically change Lasso...
Last post by longhorncareen - August 21, 2024, 06:03:02 AMQuote from: anatolewilson on July 24, 2024, 03:31:01 AMProcess Lasso has a feature called Lasso Profiles (not to be confused with process power profiles). As things are now, I find little use for the feature if I have to manually change them from the UI as needed. Therefore I request a way to link a process to a profile - better yet, change to a user-selected profile as the user starts a Steam game, just like inducing the performance power profile kicks in. After all, Process Lasso is all about automation, is it not?To automate Lasso Profile changes, utilize PowerShell or the Command Line. This allows you to automate the implementation of specified settings based on predefined criteria. To change Lasso Profiles automatically, use scripts or automation tools like AutoHotkey, AutoIt, or process management systems.

Therefore, please feel at liberty to set your UEFI BIOS settings as you desire. Windows will properly pick up on them. Hope this helps!
good to know!

Last post by VinnyG - August 20, 2024, 12:01:04 PMhello from Brazil,
I'm coming from Linux and using hw managed pstates for the latency benefits, when it is enabled on bios Linux acknowledges it and reports disabled OS governor management, i have not seen the same behavior on windows so am wondering how does process lasso governor manage
Thanks in advance.

Last post by Jeremy Collake - August 20, 2024, 06:47:17 AMYikes! 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.
You can use our contact form to upload this data if you desire more privacy.
