Happy new year, very satisfied Process Lasso Pro user here. Thanks that you are putting so many efforts into this product.
Once I need to buy a new PC I will be glad, to have more control over Intels "Big/Little" design what comes to efficiency cores and what not.
Surely very useful for recording and other stuff. Now to the topic:

My Process Lasso Pro (PLP) setup, v12.4.7.20, see config below.
The strategy is
- to start with a balanced energy profile (StartWithPowerPlan=Balanced)
- IDLE saver is activated to enable "energy saving" if there is no user interaction after 15s
- Gaming mode is active and also certain applications activate ultimate performance
- for some applications performance mode is activated to disable IDLE saver, to keep ultimate performance

Sometimes I enable performance mode manually and forget to disable it.
When restarting the PC I see that Performance mode is still active and leads to Ultimate Performance.

When manually engaged, Performance Mode didn't used to persist after you restarted Process Lasso for this reason. At some point we changed that behavior upon user request.

We may add a notification to remind people they are still in Performance Mode. I'll get back to you on further news about this issue.
