New in Process Lasso Server 9.0.0.394 (Aug 7, 2017)
- Fix co-install issue with CPUBalance that would cause neither to be running after Process Lasso updates. This was an artifact of old code that prohibited both from being installed. (build 2)
- Fix potential PATH issue caused in v9.0.0.390. (REG_EXPAND_SZ type changed to REG_SZ, causing failures for some, depending on the makeup of your system PATH environment variable). This build repairs any ‘damage’ and implements the path addition properly. This problem did not impact everyone, including those who auto-updated to 390 (as opposed to running the installer), those who already had Process Lasso in their PATH environment variable, and those who simply saw no trouble. So, most all existing users were NOT impacted at all, as this problem never touched them.
New in Process Lasso Server 9.0.0.390 (Aug 2, 2017)

New in Process Lasso Server 9.0.0.382 (Jul 25, 2017)
- Made ‘no update available’ message box topmost when user-induced update check came from GUI, else it would immediately be hidden by the GUI.
- Added 2 alternate update check mechanisms to ensure that no matter how the product is installed or configured, the user will be able to be notified of updates. (One based on the Task Scheduler for installing user login and one induced by the core engine when it is not running as a service).
- Added multiple fail-safes to automatic updater.
- Improved handling of language selection for Standard Users – both automatic (inherited from Windows) or manually selected.
- Added new ‘pl-update.cmd’ quick command line check to do an update if one is available (otherwise silence). Process Lasso’s install folder should be in your %PATH% environment variable in order for these command line tools to work.

- Fix updater error where a resource DLL maybe could not be replaced and would requrie a reboot (you’d know). It may be seen one last time for some users. Just ignore if you want, as it will self-resolve, but a reinstall will be a more sure solution.
- Fix failure for watchdog options to open due to simple copy and paste accident years ago.

New in Process Lasso Server 9.0.0.370 (Jul 18, 2017)

- Massive improvement to Chinese Simplified and Chinese Traditional translations thanks to a new translator!
New in Process Lasso Server 9.0.0.348 (May 21, 2017)
- Fix to some language preservation issues from v8 (Chinese only). Users who lose their language when updating from v8 (should not happen from v9) just need to reinstall the product. v9 tries to match you up with your Windows language selection by default, but if you over-ride that in the installer, it will honor *that* setting.
- Allow co-install with CPUBalance once again, for evaluation purposes.
- Remove redundant ‘Process Lasso’ registry key.
- Improve uninstall cleanup
- Improve build system
- Correct a few minor issues not worth mentioning
- Update Traditional Chinese and French
New in Process Lasso Server 9.0.0.340 (May 12, 2017)
- Show CPUEater options by default
- Remove ‘Ignore children of foreground processes’ checkbox from CPUEater, as it could not be updated reliably from there
- Change default setting of ‘Ignore children of foreground processes’ to false, as this may be the preferred configuration for most (it is for me). If you see it act on anything you don’t want, exclude that specific process.
- Remove some experimental code in prior builds
- Improve uninstaller temp path use so that it functions better (requires a product reinstall to replace the uninstall.exe file)
- Update French
New in Process Lasso Server 9.0.0.338 (May 9, 2017)
- Includes, and issues, new v9 compatible CPUEater Demo. The old one did not support profiles, and did not dynamically disable exclusions problematic to the test. Further, we found that the timing in v9 (by default) is not as aggressive as v8, so we lowered the thread count. This makes for less of a demo, but more reliable and maybe more realistic. The next beta series we’ll be experimenting with adjusting timing (and more). This type of synthetic heavy CPU consumers must be ‘hit’ by ProBalance before they are allowed to monopolize things so far that even the governor can’t restrain them; and remember, these are threads running at normal priority, so you’d think the high priority governor could/would always have access to them, but it doesn’t – hence the issue in the Windows CPU scheduler! However, by the same token, we don’t want ProBalance to act too frequently. Certainly our demo shows this scheduler problem in stark relief. All these settings are also available for YOU to tweak, so you don’t have to wait on us. See the ‘Advanced settings’ in the Insights module, or in the Process Lasso menu.
- Improved toggle of ‘View legend’ in graph options.
- Several internal minor fixes and adjustments. (all internally documented, but nothing worth mentioning)
- Updated several languages and made a few grammar fixes.
New in Process Lasso Server 9.0.0.326 (May 2, 2017)
- We dug deep to find issues with this build, so are approaching the end of the post-release bug work and are now focused on new development again! Other issues are being tracked, but all minor (e.g. grammar, etc..).
- Fixed issue where use of any default (persistent) process memory priorities would cause a lock-up of Process Lasso or it’s core engine due to a blocking critical section errantly entered twice. This seldom-used feature was a nook we caught during testing; seldom used because memory priorities are fairly useless to end users.
- Switch to inetc NSIS installer plugin, which is more likely to result in successful in-installer downloads of the correct edition, as opposed to the fail-safe of shelling out to the web browser
- Disallow Server Edition beta updates for reasons of stability, since Windows Servers are typically mission critical
- Transitioned 2 new documentation pages to the new web site (Command Line Arguments and About the INI Config File)
New in Process Lasso Server 9.0.0.318 (Apr 28, 2017)
- Fixed issue with switching between profiles would cause governor to refuse to acknowledge changes until it restarted
- Fixed issue with creation of new profiles when selecting to use current config
- Fixed some new features of the silent/unattended install
- Fixed an issue with the new, now optional, file-system backed synchronization (used for UNC paths and those who have thousands of remote instances)
- Fixed issue where when there was contention for the configuration, it could become locked in a static state until the governor (or GUI) was restarted – either could have manifested this
- Replace a file-system lock with mutex, returning to prior behavior while giving those who need a file-system lock access to one.
- Restart Process Lasso after changes in ‘Reconfigure the way Process Lasso starts’
- Increase efficiency of file-system lock by approx 50% – though this is now something not used by most (must be manually enabled)
- Remove old warning about changing settings when the ‘reset to defaults’ section is checked in the installer
- Added slight delay to governor when a config change is detected to deal with rapid-fire changes like sliders
- Improve config profile management, creation, and deletion
- Improve config import/export
- Re-enabled creation of config profiles (were disabled while under maintenance for safety)
- Other minor code adjustments and improvements
- Updated French and Russian
New in Process Lasso Server 9.0.0.300 (Apr 21, 2017)
- Fix some code issues that never manifested as bugs, but were none-the-less incorrect.
- Other fixes and adjustments
New in Process Lasso Server 9.0.0.290 (Apr 14, 2017)
- Fix Chinese updates from v8 now honor Chinese in v9. Other languages *should* be using your OS language, and if you don’t like that one, then you simply re-run the installer (which is also true for Chinese).
- Fix issue when Active Processes is the last tab left open, but fixed by temporarily forcing All Processes to be the tab opened first. Further work will be done.
- Fix issue with unterminated language array (had no functional impact, thankfully, which is why it wasn’t noticed).
- Add support for some specialized license types
- Fix Finnish language
- Internal code improvements
New in Process Lasso Server 9.0.0.284 (Apr 12, 2017)
- Installer- Fix Chinese EULA was Japanese.
- GUI – Fix issue with ability to get process command line, resulting in the previously fixed (by other mechanisms) listview fill issues by current-user only configurations and limited/standard users.

New in Process Lasso Server 5.0.0.46 (Sep 7, 2011)
- Addition.All: At startup, wait for Terminal Services (or RDS in Vista+) to fully initialize (with timeout), unless service disabled
- Addition.Core: Added to default exclusion list
- Fix.Core: Fixed rare, slow memory leak seen *only* in XP or 2K installs with Terminal Services disabled. This turned out to be a known memory leak in a Windows TS API. Microsoft says: Don't call this API when Terminal Services is not running, else memory leak will occur. Ok, done. Fixed. This issue never affected Vista and above RDS (new name of TS), or any intall of 2K/XP where TS has been explicitly disabled by the user (a non-default system setting, and one Process Lasso has long warned about not being ideal). The governor would have recognized a leak and restarted itself periodically on affected systems, a safety added for cases like this.
