Process Lasso is NOT yet another task manager. It is a process priority optimization and system automation utility. Priority optimization, affinity optimization, core optimization, automated rules, automated power schemes, you name it and Process Lasso has it. Although most consider Lasso the ultimate process priority optimizer, it does so much more!

Process Lasso's most popular feature is the unique process optimization technology called ProBalance (Process Balance) that will improve your PC's responsiveness and stability through process priority optimization and/or CPU affinity adjustments. Windows, by design, allows programs to monopolize your CPU without sufficient restraint -- leading to hangs, micro-lags, and delays in your keystroke or mouse actions. ProBalance intelligently adjusts the priorities and/or CPU affinities of running programs, on-demand, as-needed so that badly behaved processes won't negatively impact the responsiveness of your PC.

Version 5 adds many features, including I/O Priorities (default and current), Default Power Schemes, HyperThreaded Core Avoidance, Automated Updates, and much more. We even offer lifetime licenses for a very small surcharge, so you never have to worry about paying for another upgrade again.

-Process Priority and Affinity Optimization
-Automatically balance process priorities (and/or CPU affinities) in a safe, effective manner to improve PC responsiveness during high loads and prevent system stalls and micro-lags. Our years of experience have resulted in a highly optimal algorithm duplicated nowhere else. We call it ProBalance. For more information and a graphical demonstration to run on your own PC, see this page.
-Default (sticky) priorities and affinities
-Set sticky CPU or I/O priorities and CPU affinities for your processes, allowing you to tweak the way in which they are executed
-Multi-Core Optimization
-Through sticky CPU affinities and ProBalance affinity adjustments, you can optimize your multi-core processor to make the most efficient use of your CPUs (cores). It also offers logical core avoidance to improve performance of certain applications on HyperThreaded CPUs.
-Process Watchdog
-Terminate, restart, or change CPU affinity when a specified threshold is met
-I/O Priorities
-For Vista and above you can set the current or sticky I/O priority of processes
-Power Profile Automation
-Set the power profile to automatically change to 'High Performance' when certain processes are running, then change back when they exit. Save energy, or increase performance on-demand!
-Energy Saver New in beta
-This new feature allows you to remain in High Performance (or any power profile) until your PC goes idle for X seconds. It then switches to another profile, such as Power Saver or Balanced (your choice of any). This allows you to conserve electricity without compromising performance.
-Auto-terminate
-Terminate select processes any time they are found to be running
-Instance Count Limits
-Limit processes to a specified number of instances
-Independent Core Engine
-This core engine (the governor) actually does the work. It can operate in the background as either a normal process *or* as a service, running as a system service or a service in a specific user context. By having only it start, there is no user interface or system tray icon. The GUI can be launched on-demand as needed for configuration changes.
-System Responsiveness Metric
-Our unique algorithm monitors system responsiveness with amazing accuracy
-Minimal Resource Use
-NOBODY uses less resources for this type of task than Process Lasso. It is written in native C++ and continually refined for maximum efficiency. A native 64-bit build also available. Private memory usage by the core engine is typically under 1MB! (depends on system)
-Utilizes new features of Windows Vista/7
-Makes use of latest features of Windows 7, but maintains full backward compatibility to Windows 2000!
-Hyper-Threaded Core Avoidance
-Avoid these 'fake' cores for maximum performance of some applications.
-Select Multiple Processes at Once
-Want to terminate 5 different processes at once? Or set their current or sticky priority class or CPU affinity? No problem. Select multiple processes and work with them.
So much more...
Discover for yourself what Process Lasso can do for you! Quick example of one more feature -- the multi-select feature.. That's right, select multiple processes and act on all of them at once!

I just realized that Process lasso (x64) didn't display CIS processes...Does anyone observed that too?

edit: ok i have done some research, it is because Process Lasso dev. dont want mess around with CIS' protected processes.
