Since I often meet 100%, what should I do? I have to hand it out!

Hey folks, Xiao Bian here again, and today’s topic is something that might make your eyes pop out—yes, I’m talking about the infamous 100% CPU usage issue. It seems like no matter what you're doing, whether it's gaming, watching videos, or just browsing, this problem keeps popping up. Yesterday, I posted about "how to answer Moe's new questions regarding a computer running at 100% CPU usage," and naturally, I got a ton of feedback. One reader even mentioned that sometimes the only solution is to shell out cash for better hardware—or just play less demanding games if your GPU hits the roof. However, if your CPU consistently spikes to 100%, especially while running certain programs, that’s definitely not normal unless you’re rocking a decade-old rig.

Now, here’s a quick fix if you’re in a bind: you can end the problematic process directly in Windows Task Manager. But this is more of a temporary solution. If you want a long-term fix, things get a bit more technical. That’s where Process Lasso comes in—a fantastic tool for system optimization. Essentially, it uses an advanced algorithm to manage and prioritize processes so that your CPU doesn’t get bogged down by inefficient tasks. This helps prevent crashes, freezes, and excessive CPU usage, ensuring smoother performance overall.

After launching the software, you’ll immediately see a detailed overview of all running processes along with their CPU and memory consumption. It’s super intuitive!

For processes that seem unnecessary—like software update services or mysterious programs hogging system resources—you can right-click on them and choose "Limit Number of Instances" to restrict them to just one instance. Alternatively, you can set automatic restrictions for specific programs, keeping Process Lasso running in the background without any further input.

If you’re into gaming or streaming, you’ll want to ensure that Process Lasso treats those applications as high-priority tasks. Make sure to check the "classify as a game" option or disable ProBalance suppression to avoid stuttering during gameplay. Trust me, it makes a world of difference.

Windows system-critical processes like svchost, and common software like QQ, WeChat, and Office suites, should be given higher priority. Just set them to "above standard" rather than max priority, as setting them too high could actually cause your system to freeze upon startup.

With everything properly configured, your system’s resources should be allocated more efficiently. And hey, you’ll no longer have to worry about that dreaded 100% CPU spike!

By the way, I’d also recommend adding certain programs to the blacklist. Think of all those sneaky background apps that launch automatically, ad programs like WPS and QQ, or other unwanted software. Once added to the blacklist, they won’t be able to run in the background anymore. It’s like having peace of mind knowing your system is clean.

I hope this helps, and I’d love to hear your thoughts! As always, I’m open to suggestions and feedback. Let’s keep the conversation going and figure out solutions together. Cheers!
