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

Changelog:

• Addition.GUI: Sort by column now supported in new 'Active Processes' tab, as was already the case in the 'All Processes' tab
• Addition.GUI: Last sorted column of new 'Active Processes' tab is remembered
• Change.GUI: Repositioned some of the newer menu items for easier location
• Change.GUI: Moved graph visibility setting to the registry, so a config reload and process recheck event won't be triggered every time the graph visibility is toggled by the user
• Change.Core: No longer restore the original priority of a process whose priority was externally adjusted while it was in a changed state due to a ProBalance event (i.e. if user changes the priority after ProBalance makes a temporary adjustment)
• Change.Core: No longer restore the original CPU affinity of a process whose CPU affinity was externally adjusted while it was in a changed state due to a ProBalance event (i.e. if user changes the CPU affinity after ProBalance makes a temporary adjustment)
• Addition.Installer: Included a CHM copy of the docs for easy readability and offline access (increased installer size though)
• Post-release minor updates:
  • [.2]Fix.GUI: Fixed pressing F1 was opening the help documentation twice
  • [.2]Fix.GUI: Fixes to the behavior of 'Manage Processes of All Users' menu item toggle
  • [.2]Fix.GUI: Fixed issue where the 'close governor too?' prompt could be shown while Process Lasso is restarting due to a configuration change
  • [.2]Fix.GUI: Toggling graph visibility was still inducing config file save and reload due to a code artifact
  • [.2]Fix.GUI: (XP/2K only) Empty power scheme management submenu was visible when it should have been removed (appeared in v3.82)
  • [.2]Change.GUI: After user manually resets language, only show languages whose backing files are installed
  • [.3]Fix.GUI: Fixed crash that could rarely occur when terminating system processes (the ones with extra warnings)
  • [.3]Fix.GUI: Fixed issue where, under certain scenarios, the system tray icon wasn't being recreated after the shell (explorer) crashed
  • [.3]Change.Versioning: No longer change file version for files that weren't changed in minor updates
  • [.3]Change.Installer: No longer check for changes to ProBalance default settings, as we've not changed them in a long time
