Artur Kharin

Artur Kharin is an independent Windows developer whose single-title catalogue focuses on low-level system automation. His flagship utility, Processes Priority Manager, targets power users who need repeatable control over CPU allocation without manual intervention each time a program launches. By letting rules dictate both process priority and multi-core affinity, the tool keeps background services quiet, dedicates full cores to render or compile jobs, and prevents greedy apps from starving foreground tasks. Typical deployments include gaming rigs that lock antivirus scanners to low priority, workstations that reserve high cores for Adobe or Visual Studio, and servers that pin database engines to specific NUMA nodes. The lightweight agent runs as a scheduled task, so no resident service is required, and rule sets can be exported for rapid rollout across lab machines or esports arenas. Although the interface is minimal, the engine supports wildcards, regular expressions, and conditional logic, making it equally useful for taming startup bloat on laptops or scripting repeatable performance labs on test benches. Artur Kharin’s software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always installing the latest version and supporting batch installation alongside other applications.
