Limiting CPU Use with Process Lasso’s CPU Limiter September 6, 2019 https://bitsum.com/docs/limiting-cpu-use-with-process-lasso-cpu-limiter/
Thanks again @Victek. Unfortunately I have been using the beta for 3 weeks, so it's too late for me, no trial-period anymore. I saw the Lasso' hacked version working fine, it's a temptation, but I avoided that (Lasso' guys deserve the money + I don't want any malware infection). So sadly, I uninstalled Lasso (the banner/popup appearing at start up/launching was taking almost 10 seconds to allow being closed... and this really annoyed me). Thank all you anyway

I've just installed and successfully activated PL but I see on the GUI "UNLICENSED". Should it say that after activation? Edit: Never mind. After a system restart my name is now displayed.
Beta 9.3.0.65 is available via internal updater. Another day another Process Lasso beta Update: Beta 9.3.0.67

By the way, does anyone else experience that after updating the new version checks for an update and notifies that no update is available? That makes sense of course, but it can be confusing. It would make more sense for the latest update to not immediately check for an update.
