Processes Priority Manager 1.1.0.0 by Artur Kharin is a lightweight Windows utility designed to give users persistent control over how individual processes utilize CPU resources. Released in a single stable version, the program focuses on two levers of performance tuning: it can automatically set a process’s scheduling priority and lock it to specific CPU cores, ensuring that critical applications receive consistent resources while background tasks are restrained. Typical use cases include keeping render or compilation jobs on high-priority cores without manual intervention, pinning games to physical cores to reduce stutter, or limiting unruly background services so that foreground work remains responsive. Because settings are remembered and reapplied every time a monitored process starts, the tool is equally useful on single-user workstations and multi-user terminals where repeatable performance is required. The interface presents a simple list of running and previously configured processes; selecting an entry exposes drop-down menus for priority levels from Idle to Real-time and check-boxes for logical processor affinity. Changes take effect immediately and are written to an internal profile that survives reboots, eliminating the need for batch scripts or Task Scheduler hacks. System administrators can export these profiles and deploy them across PCs to standardize CPU allocation policies without touching Group Policy. Although the feature set is narrow, the application fills a gap left by Windows Task Manager, whose manual adjustments are lost on process restart. Processes Priority Manager is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
