Process Lasso is a unique new technology intended to automatically adjust the allocation of CPU cycles so that system responsiveness is improved in high-load situations. It does this by dynamically temporarily lowering the priorities of processes that are consuming too many CPU cycles, there-by giving other processes a chance to run if they are in need. This is useful for both single and multi-core processors. No longer will a single process be able to bring your system to a virtual stall.

Changelog:

• Addition.Installer: Process Lasso is no longer launched after install with administrative rights (showing processes of all users) unless configured to be launched that way.
• Addition.InstallHelper: Now force users who choose to start the governor as a service to user global INI and log path over-rides.
• Change.Installer: Removed IntallHelper from start menu shortcuts, you must now re-run the installer to make install related changes.
• Change.Installer: Removed config/LOG migration from very old versions.
• Change.InstallHelper: Removed 'Process Lasso must restart' message and functionality, intending for the InstallHelper to only be run during an install, when Process Lasso is already closed.
• Change.InstallHelper: Allow blank passwords in service run-as user configuration.
• Change.InstallHelper: Restore 'back' button on second dialog.
• Change.InstallHelper: Auto-populate global log folder over-ride.
