Process Lasso 6.5.0.2

Process Lasso is a software that will improve system responsiveness and stability.

Process Lasso is a unique new technology intended to automatically restrain running processes that are consuming too many CPU cycles. Often times, processes that are 'out-of-control' can bring an NT system to a near halt. Once one or more processes have become CPU resource hogs, termination of the offending process(es) is very difficult since it is nearly impossible to even open the task manager.

With Process Lasso, these processes are temporarily reduced in priority so that the system is returned to a responsive level. Process Lasso can even work when multiple processes are responsible for a decrease in system responsiveness. In addition, Process Lasso offers capabilities such as default process priorities, termination of disallowed processes, and logging of processes executed. Process Lasso is extremely efficient and itself has almost no CPU usage. The core engine, called the Process Governor, is separated from the GUI so that one can completely close the GUI and keep the primary functions of Process Lasso operating. The core engine can even be run as a system service so that it starts before any user is logged in. However, the GUI itself is so optimal that we recommend leaving it running so it can quickly be accessed in times when it is needed.

What's New:

• Add option to toggle beta version debug log (off by default), hidden in final builds
• Fix failure of GUI to start at user login in 2K/XP/2003 under some configurations (background core engine would start fine)
• Fix GDI handle leak in GUI that started in 6.0.2.66 with core parking display (could cause GUI to stall, and larger display painting problems)
• Don't invoke Install Helper dialog on manual elevation state change, simply toggle it, reconfigure start items, and relaunch.
• Remove 'Apply' button from Energy Saver dialog, and instead switch power profiles as the user selects one.
• Change parked core color.
• Fix /showwindow.
• Adjusted compiler settings a bit for a marginal increase in performance.
• Add debug output for config file change event signal and rework a bit of the change detection code.
• Many misc. revisions.
• Add Energy Saver to force active (non-idle) power profile, as opposed to relying on current user setting.
• Language updates.
