Process Lasso Editor's Review

There are no doubts that Operating Systems tend to restrict users when it comes to running processes. From some points of view, the restrictions are great for newbies who might ruin the operating system. However, advanced users encounter a series of problems. You can always change the process priority in the Task Manager or just close some of the programs, but this is pretty much it. This is when Process Lasso steps in to give you more control and help you get over the limitations. The application allows you to set up particular rules in order to operate the computer, only to come up with extra efficiency. Let’s take an insight and see how useful it is for beginners and for advanced users only.

Process Lasso works with most versions of Windows. There are no other major system requirements. The trial version is available for free, while users will have to pay $9.95 for a year once the tryout period is over. The installation is quick and intuitive, without any third party applications.

Just after the installation, you’ll get a box asking you to select variety of setting, but you can get away without doing any by simply clicking next. Starting the program will not ask you whether or not you want to import or export any settings. The possibility to perform such actions might give you more control over your actions, but also the possibility to be more efficient.

The interface is extremely simple and does not cause any difficulties. Practically, once you run the application, you will be prompted with a list of running processes. Each of them is detailedly explained, with the size, required memory, usage or priority. It looks like the Task Manager from Windows, only it has a few extra options. The bottom part of the screen displays an action log, which explains the changes made to particular processes per request.

Users have the possibility to set up a particular memory limit for each process, only to prevent two additional processes to overlap each other or become overwhelming for the operating system. Computer usage, waiting time or maximum values can also be set up. Moreover, useless processes can simply be excluded. A blacklist will prevent particular processes from running, just like a whitelist will give them plenty of freedom. Wildcards are also approved, but they require some experience. Playing with the running processes without having a clue about what you are doing can lead to a malfunctioning system.

Configuring Process Lasso is very simple, yet the help files are useless. The official documentation page is still not complete. Moreover, internal help files are not too detailed, so advanced operations may require third party learning sources.

Other than that, Process Lasso is said to work with most versions of Windows, yet closing the process tab will cause a corrupt error in Vista. However, the operation works perfectly on all the other versions. At the same time, the developer clearly states that it cannot be held responsible if any errors occur while you use the Tweak Scheduler function. Changing the settings gives you the option to tweak things up.

Positive Points:
 -    Intuitive Interface suitable for both experts and beginners.
 -    Offers complete control of over management and behavior of processes.
 -    Excellent and wide array of features including whitelist and blacklist.

Negative Points:
 -    Help files and documentation isn’t in any way close to what it should be.
 -    Some options lead to a system crash, especially in Windows Vista.

Conclusion:
Process Lasso is one of the few applications of its kind. Developers still have a lot of work to do in order to make it run smoothly, but this interesting idea can currently satisfy a lot of advanced users. The mild limitations or errors are easily outweighed by the advantages. However, if affordability is your concern and you are not going to utilize it to the fullest, look for a freeware program instead.

Process Lasso Publisher's Description

Process Supervisor applies user defined rules to running processes to improve system performance, responsiveness, and stability by temporarily restraining out-of-control processes, defaulting specific processes to certain priorities, terminating unallowed processes, and more. In addition, the graphical user interface allows for manual viewing and manipulation of running processes, including module and handle enumeration. Process Lasso is *NOT* a task manager replacement, though it does have some task manager like capabilities as a compliment to its core functions.
