Fix CPU Lag & Boost FPS – Best Process Lasso Setup 2025

No matter if you’re using a high-end Intel i9 or a budget laptop, how Windows handles your CPU background tasks directly affects FPS, latency, and stutters. In this guide, I’ll show you how to fully optimize Process Lasso for better gaming performance in 2025.
🧠 These tweaks are especially useful for games like Valorant, CS2, GTA V, Cyberpunk, and Minecraft, where CPU thread handling and background tasks impact performance.

🛠️ Process Lasso Optimization Steps & Settings Used:

🔹 1. Set Up Process Lasso for Global Optimization
Open Process Lasso
→ Main tab:
✅ Enable: Manage processes of all users
✅ Enable: ProBalance
✅ Set Power Profile: Bitsum Highest Performance
If not present:
→ Options , Power , Create 'Bitsum Highest Performance'
→ Enable it

Optional Startup Setup:
Options , General settings , Reconfigure startup
✅ Start Process Lasso with Windows
✅ Start minimized

🔹 2. Adjust Update Intervals for Better Responsiveness
Go to: Options , General Settings
Set:
Refresh Interval (GUI): 5 seconds
Governor Activity Visualizer (GAV): 5 seconds
(Optional) Graph Smoothing → Low

🔹 3. ProBalance Fine-Tuning
Path: Options , CPU , ProBalance Settings
✅ Enable ProBalance
✅ Exclude Foreground Processes
✅ Do not act on children of foreground process

🔹 4. Optimize Power Behavior While Gaming
Path: Options , Power , Performance Mode
✅ Change power profile when performance mode engaged
✅ Enable automatic detection
✅ Disable idle saver when performance mode engaged

🔹 5. Apply Game-Specific Priorities (e.g., Valorant.exe, CS2.exe)
Run your game → Open Process Lasso
→ Right-click the game process
Set:
CPU Priority , Always , High
I/O Priority , Always , High
Power Profile , Always , Bitsum Highest Performance

🔹 6. Fine-Tune CPU Affinity (Advanced – for AMD/Intel Users)
Right-click game process → CPU Affinity , Always
→ Disable SMT (AMD) or Hyper-Threading (Intel)
Example: On Ryzen 7 (8C/16T), only enable cores 0, 2, 4, 6

🔹 7. Make It Persistent
Once set, Process Lasso will auto-apply your tweaks at every game launch (as long as it’s running in the background).

🧠 Does it still work in 2025?
Yes — especially for:
🖥️ Low/mid-end PCs
🎯 Competitive gaming (Valorant, CS2, Fortnite)
🧵 Games with poor thread management
Even high-end CPUs benefit from tweaks like:
Disabling SMT for game processes
Locking I/O & CPU priority
Enforcing Bitsum’s power plan during gameplay
