    Lightbulb Process Lasso

    Process Lasso v3.84.3



    Process Lasso is a unique new technology that will improve your PC's responsiveness and stability during periods of high CPU load. Windows, by design, allows programs to monopolize your CPU without restraint -- leading to freezes, hangs, and micro-lags. Process Lasso's ProBalance (Process Balance) technology intelligently adjusts the priorities of running programs so that badly behaved processes won't negatively impact the responsiveness of your PC.

    Process Lasso also offers an assortment of ways to take full control of how your CPUs are allocated to running programs. You can choose at what priority processes should run, and which CPUs should be assigned to them. You can also disallow certain programs from running, log all programs run, automatically restart programs, limit the number of instances of a program, and much more. You can even indicate processes that should induce entrance into the High Performance power scheme or prevent the PC from sleeping. A gaming mode also allows for easy process priority optimization for avid gamers.

    Once you install Process Lasso, it will just start working. More advanced users can tweak the configuration, but you needn't touch anything to have it instantly improve your system responsiveness and prevent stalls in high load situations.

    Process Lasso runs on all editions of Windows 2000, XP, 2003, 2008, Vista, and Windows 7.

    * ProBalance dynamic priority optimization
    * Works great for desktops, laptops, and netbooks
    * Persistent (sticky) priorities and CPU affinities
    * Gaming mode
    * Instance count limits
    * Disallowed processes
    * High Performance Power Scheme processes
    * Anti-sleep processes
    * Keep processes running (auto-restart)
    * Unique system responsiveness graph
    * Differentiate between svchost.exe instances
    * Extremely low resource use
    * Stand-alone process management engine (uses as little as 1MB of RAM)
    * Both 32-bit and 64-bit builds for maximum efficiency
    * Event logging
    * MUCH more...

    Change log:
    This version improves the performance of the Active Processes tab and performs other minor maintenance.

    * Change.GUI: Active Processes fills instantly when it is switched to
    * Change.GUI: Reduced CPU utilization to virtually zero when minimized to system tray while using the Active Processes tab (entering sleep-like mode as with other views)
    * Addition.GUI: Added menu items for the two new refresh intervals
    * Addition.GUI: Show Vista+ UAC Shield icon on menu items that require user elevation
    * Addition.Core: Added two new refresh intervals (5 seconds and 10 seconds)
    * Addition.InstallHelper: Added selection of date/time format used throughout product (Euro, US, or Asian)
    * Fix.GUI: Fixed double click on process in Active Processes tab whose existance may not have been recorded in the All Processes tab because that tab hadn't been visible since the process creation (double click did nothing instead of go to that process)
    * Fix.GUI: Fixed a redundant handle close in Active Processes tab that could theoretically cause complications
    * Fix.GUI: Fixed new updater was not always returning beta versions when configured to do so
    * Fix.Docs: Fixed an external link in FAQ about differences between Free an Pro builds
    * Change.Licensing: Don't show non-timer random rare nag unless product has been installed a while
    * Change.Licensing: Reduce nag timer maximum delay again
    * Removal.GUI: Removed most active process from system tray tooltip. The overhead in tracking this even when the GUI is minimized is just not worth it at this time.
    * Post-release minor updates:
    o [.1]Change.GUI: Changed Asian date format to YYYY-MM-DD
    o [.1]Change.GUI: Updated Russian translation
    o [.1]Fix.GUI: Fixed sort issue with All Processes tab (not resorting on update, appeared in v3.84)
    o [.2]Fix.GUI: Fixed case where user has more than 5 power schemes, which could result in menu item conflicts and unexpected behavior (i.e. switching power schemes when you select to configure anti-sleep processes)
    o [.2]Change.GUI: Refresh process CPU usage graphs (progress bars) immediately after user changes the sort column and/or order in the Active Processes tab
    o [.2]Addition.TestLasso: Added version resource
    o [.3]Fix.InstallHelper: Minor fix to handling of user provided bad parameter (i.e. typo) to silent install config switch '/governor_start_type'
    o [.3]Change.GUI: Default date/time format expanded to more Euro languages
    o [.3]Change.GUI: Update check setting now defaults to FALSE if the registry value is deleted (i.e. by a registry cleaner)
    o [.3]Change.GUI: Update of French, Russian, and Japanese
    o [.3]Change.Docs: Reduced size of the docs by 80k via optimizing embedded PNG images (the docs make up 1MB of the 1.5MB installer)
    o [.3]Addition.Docs: Minor textual additions and adjustments, nothing important
    o [.4]Change.GUI: Remove new UAC shield icon from 'show processes of all users' so as to not hide the check indicating this setting's state
    o [.4]Change.GUI: Updated French translation
    o [.4]Change.GUI: Updated Italian translation

    Process Lasso v4.00.25



    # Fix.Installer: When starting with elevated rights in Vista+, the task configuration specified only to start Process Lasso and its core engine for users of the Administrators group.
    This is now fixed, changed to Users group so that Standard/Limited rights users also have it launched for them at login.
    # Fix.GUI: Fixed 'Disable ProBalance when user is away for *other* amount of time' menu option (invokes config dialog now as it was supposed to)
    # Fix.Installer: Installer wasn't remembering last install directory during quick upgrades
    # Change.Installer: Switched installation directory storage (for upgrades) back to HKLM
    # Change.GUI: Some minor improvements to activation procedure
    # Change.GUI: 'Reset listview columns and sizes' now resets actions/log (lower) listview too
    # Change.GUI: If configured to check, the updater now checks once every 2 days (was 4 days)
    # Change.GUI: Changed the update checker so that it will be more likely to check while you're around and can take action
    # Change.GUI: Grammar and language changes (translators: languages files already updated in most or all cases, but you may want to verify)
    # Change.GUI: Slight View menu reorganization and other minor changes
    # Addition.GUI: Log column changes now persist when you exit/start GUI
    # Addition.GUI: Added ability to use per-machine instance count limits instead of per-session instance count limits on applications (see instance limits config dialog)
    # Addition.Core: Added ability to use per-machine instance count limits instead of per-session instance count limits on applications
    # Addition.All: Created first v4 build for Japanese partner (still in QA)
    # Change.Docs: Updated text and a few screenshots

    Process Lasso Version v4.09.57 Beta

    Process Lasso Version
    v4.09.57 beta released.
    I have a license for the pro version and when it said there was a new version available for download, it downloaded the beta. I am not sure why they wouldn't wait and inform users when there is a finished version of Process lasso rather than stating a new version is available and it being a beta. I thought I would inform the members though that the new version (Beta) is available and will most-likely pop up in your task bar if you are using Process Lasso.

    Please note the following taken from their official website:

    "NEW BETA SERIES - Version 4.1, now in beta stage development, offers some great new features. How about I/O prioritization for starters (default and current). Another innovative feature is our new core-optimization technologies. They set the default CPU affinity to only physical cores (ignoring logical cores on HyperThreaded systems). What this means is you can avoid the 'fake' cores that HyperThreading offers up to the scheduler. This helps performance of some applications, despite the Window CPU Scheduler's awareness of these fake cores as of XP. It simply can not make perfect predictions on how demanding the next time slice will be, so can't allocate the time slices perfectly. In many cases, it is simply better to just disable HyperThreading, as Microsoft themselves recommends in some Server Optimization. See for more info and references on HyperThreading and its impact."


    WARNING: This beta is a beta. The stable/final build of is also available.
