Process Lasso FAQ

Workstation: Windows 7, 8, 10, 11. Server: Windows Server 2008 R2 through 2025 (Bitsum product pages also list 2012–2025). Memory and disk needs are negligible. Current catalogued installer is about 2.72 MB. See Download.

Yes. Windows 11 is supported on Workstation builds. Efficiency Mode controls target Windows 11's Efficiency Mode specifically.

Bitsum states Process Lasso does not report user or process data back to Bitsum. Network use in the app is for update checks and license validation. Uninstall does not leave system modifications behind. Read Trust and security.

The product changes priorities and affinities of other processes. Heuristic scanners sometimes treat that as malware-like behavior. False positives have appeared over the years on Governor binaries and update packages. Verify your SHA256, then exclude the install folder. Step-by-step: Antivirus guide.

No. The default action temporarily lowers priority class to Below Normal during contention. That does not meaningfully "restrain" useful throughput when the CPU is free. Bitsum's FAQ and CPUEater demos frame it as restoring interactivity for the rest of the PC.

Bitsum says no, and that there has never been a ban case tied to Process Lasso. It does not access process memory for cheating. Worst case for a bad rule is that a game refuses to launch. For EAC, use launcher inheritance or registry priorities: EAC guide.

No. Process Lasso does not leave behind system modifications after uninstall, according to Bitsum's FAQ.

No. Uninstall on the old PC, then install and activate on the new one. The activation system allows a degree of re-use. Activate from Help → Activate this software in the GUI.

You can install it and leave ProBalance and Performance Mode at defaults. Advanced affinities, Watchdog, and balancers are optional. Bitsum also publishes ParkControl for a narrower power-plan focused toolset.

Forcing allocation denial crashes apps. Practical approach: Watchdog rules that restart or terminate when a memory threshold is crossed, or slow consumption with CPU Limiter / affinity constraints. Trimming working sets of actively used memory usually fails because pages come back.

Without Forced Mode, rules apply mainly when a process starts or when config changes. Forced Mode continuously re-applies rules when other software overrides them. Enable it from Options. More detail in Guides.
