This article will explain how to increase the CPU power of a specific program in Windows 10.
Understanding CPU Allocation
Importance CPU Allocation
Windows 10 automatically manages resources. There are times when you will want to manually alter these settings.
Allocate more CPU to a programme
In this guide, you will learn how to give more CPU power to an application on Windows 10.
Open Task Manager
Right-click on the taskbar and select “Task Manager”. To open Task Manager, press Shift+ Ctrl+ Esc.
Navigate to Details tab
Once the Task Manager is open, click on the Details tab. The Details section will give you an overview of the processes that are running on your PC. This includes those in the background.
Find the program
Scroll through the list to find the program that you want to give more CPU resources. Click on the program after you have found it.
Set Priority
The context menu will appear. You should not set this to Realtime as it can cause your system to become unstable.
Third-Party Software
Although the built-in Windows Task Manager can be a useful tool, there are other third-party tools that allow for more control of CPU allocation.
Process Lasso
The Process Lasso is a popular tool among users. This program offers real-time, automated CPU optimization. ProBalance’s algorithm makes sure that the system stays responsive even during times of high CPU load.
CPU-Control
CPU Control allows you to manually set CPU affinity, allowing control over which CPUs a process runs on. It is particularly useful for systems with multiple cores and CPUs.
Be Careful When Allocating CPU Resources
While allocating more CPU resources to a program can improve its performance, it is important that you proceed with caution.
Do not overload CPU
Don’t allocate too much resources to a single program. It can have a negative impact on the performance of your system.
Monitor System Performance
If you encounter performance issues, revert your changes.
Conclusion
Windows 10 provides a simple way to assign more CPU power to a particular program. Third-party tools provide an even greater level of control. Remember that you should make these changes with caution to avoid damaging your system’s performance or stability. Following the steps and precautions described in this guide will help you to avoid any problems.
