Double check your power plan sleep settings just to make sure they didn't inadvertently change. In the traditional power plans, each power plan has its own sleep settings, unlike the power modes. In some cases, Balanced can get confused since it is both a power plan and has power modes.

Use the old control panel setting first, which you can get to in Lasso via 'Options / Tools / Power Options'. Then use the new 'Power and Sleep' settings of Windows. Make a change just to save it there

Let me know how it goes!

Unfortunately, I don't know of any way to accomplish that. When not all your cores are active, your CPU, depending on the model, will be able to boost the cores that are in use a little more since they'll have more thermal headroom. Further tuning of that behavior isn't something I have guidance on. We'll certainly keep this scenario in mind in future R&D though.

Thanks for the feedback!

Update #2:
Actually this didn't work out the way I had hoped.
PL did indeed change the BHP to 'Balanced'after about 45 minutes of non activity, but this did not allow the PC to enter sleep mode.
I'm attaching a screen print of the log which shows that the power profile did change, and once again switch back to BHP when I first used the PC today, but did not enter sleep mode at all.
The PC has always gone to sleep when on 'balanced' power profile, appreciate any ideas to resolve this.
Thanks!

The problem - is i want to use an very old app that uses max 4 cores and my cpu is 6 cores .
So my question - is probably absurd but it has been bothering me a lot for many years is there a way process lasso to improving my single core at the expense of multicore for a specific application and if there is no such thing its will be very good as idea for future update for many people here greetings  ;)  .

Process Lasso / Re: reset ALL settings

Apologies for the confusion.

Process settings that have already been applied will require a reboot to fully reset, or at least a restart of those processes. The other actions beyond using 'Reset Configuration' are not necessary.

Quote from: DogHouse86 on February 11, 2024, 04:41:26 PMI am having the same issue.  Options-Reset doesnt seem to do anything.  I still see all of the priorities, cores, etc that I had previously set remain the same.

do all the steps i did then restart your computer and reinstall process lasso.

Old post I know, but I think relevant to helping fix my issue.
I turned on BHP globally but of my PC doesn't seem to sleep anymore, but moving windows around the desktop are no longer laggy.
Running latest Win 11 (22631.3085), latest AMD chipset just released recently this year.
I guess I need to change to balanced when not gaming, then have 'Performance Mode' set to use BHP for gaming, making sure idle saver is disabled for 'Performance Mode' each game?

FWIW it seems that the occasional 2-3 second total screen freezes (without the game crashing)I was getting with 'balanced' (AMD 5800X3D CPU) have stopped with BHP, and desktop usage feels much smoother.
I should be able to run BHP  all the time if I go to options>power>idlesaver and set it to turn on and change the power plan to 'balanced' after 45 minutes of no activity? This way I should be able to have the benefits of BHP without the negative of a PC that won't go into sleep mode.
Is what I propose to do the right approach?

Update:
Yes, this works perfectly!
So all I need to do is ensure each game is using 'Performance Mode' (if it's not automatically detected) and I can have the best of both worlds!
Still always a use for PL, when such huge companies like Microsoft and AMD can't seem to manage this simple task.
Thanks!

I reviewed the video and it isn't the indictment of Process Lasso that the title would lead you to believe. In fact, he showcases how Process Lasso can be used to control how processes are run, exactly what it's for.

After installing Process Lasso, he has the goal of limiting E-core use, so he goes to set some rules. He skips past the Efficiency Mode OFF rules that are recommended, because they didn't provide a substantial change. He doesn't try CPU Sets, and instead moves to CPU affinities, the most forceful measure to keep processes off the E-cores.

In his testing of that draconian affinity rule, most of the games showed little to no significant change, but one had a conflict with the CPU affinity rule, rendering it unplayable. That 0 FPS result threw off the 12 game average at the end, accounting for most of the difference.

Still, it's certainly not surprising that a CPU affinity rule is not as effective as disabling E-cores entirely in the UEFI. However, disabling E-cores entirely means they aren't able to serve their purpose of reducing energy use, and those extra cores are unavailable if sufficiently multi-threaded load requires them.

It also isn't surprising that some games on some hardware have problems with certain CPU affinities, but that's hardly a case against the tool enabling him to make those changes! It's like saying Task Manager destroyed his FPS because he set some restrictive CPU affinity rules with it.

Ultimately, we think the take-home point is that tweaks should be made judiciously. Here at Bitsum, we are in the business of enabling you to make those tweaks!
