Process Lasso Pro is a powerful system optimization tool for Windows designed to manage how your computer handles running programs. It is a well-established tool that gives you total control over your "processes" (the apps running in the background). Its main job is to "tame" acting-up programs that hog your CPU, ensuring your computer stays smooth and responsive even when it's working hard. You can create permanent rules for how much CPU power an app can use, which processor cores it should use, and much more. It makes your apps behave exactly the way you want them to.
Process Lasso also lets you automate how your apps run with several unique features. These include saving your favorite priority settings, limiting how many copies of a program can open at once, and even setting specific power plans for different apps. It acts like a smart manager for your computer's resources. With Process Lasso, you are the one who decides how your computer's power is distributed.
