Just found out about this, on one side it is something I would find useful, on the other it seems very feature bloated. I am wondering if anyone here has experience of using it and what their thoughts are. If I were to use it the only features I would utilise are. Manually configured process priorities so dont need to reapply on every launch of program. Automatic power profile change when system is idle, and change again when input detected. Process hacker can do the first, and I have another tool that does the second. The rest of it I have doubts about. Thoughts?
There's a thread here that may offer you some information. https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/process-lasso-v9-beta.392582/
Automatic core assignment for processes (usefull for some older 1-core games) automatic core parking to decrease power consumption throttle/boost programs/IO/... Avoid probalance I would say, disabled here as it has no gain. But I use some throttling for programs were run in background or do not need much power to fulfill its tasks in background, e.g. disassembling while investigating. Boosting dvd-burn-programs (task priority higher/high). This is very little which i use from PL which is much richer. Anyhow, I own a (giveaway) pro license. From my view - worth a view, and if cheap, get a license. But don't expect "magic".
I would advice to not use it, years ago I suspect that it made Opera 12 crash and I lost all of my browsing data. Such a tool really isn't needed.
I've been using it for years and its' never caused any problems. I just leave it on "auto" ( ProBalance Enabled ). The developer is committed to supporting and updating it.
Its one of the best to tame core/thread based processes. Windows itself cant do that. Per core/CPU is great with this software.
It won't have been the reason for the crash, as basically all it is doing it changing the priority of running in processes.
I'm not so sure, it has never happened again plus Process Lasso messes around with process memory. I always got alerts from System Safety Monitor that it wanted to control of csrss.exe, which probably is not a good idea. I believe that Process Lasso is a bit more advanced than Process Tamer.
I've had Process Lasso installed for a couple of years without issue or crashes. I like its main windows which allows you to view/terminate/restart processes far more conveniently (in my view) than using task manager. I do use ProBalance which throttles an applications priority if it's being too greedy (mainly web browsers in my experience).
I have had Process lasso on both my laptops for years, ProBalance enabled, without issue. But I primarily use it to monitor active processes and their CPU activity.
Well, Process Tamer does the same and it didn't mess around with the csrss.exe process. I can't say for sure if it caused the crash, but I do know that it's quite an advanced tool that may cause issues on certain systems, perhaps it was just bad luck.
