Hello all,

This is an old thread but I would like to provide my feedback for the Win10 version.

There is a problem with getting CPU usage.  It is not registering.  See photo.

@Mouser: When will the next version come out?  It has been a few years without improvement.
BTW, I will be sending some Bitcoin your way.  Hold it for another 5-10 years and then it will be worth a lot more.  A retirement fund :)
By any chance, can we obtain or open source Process Tamer if no further development will be conducted?  It would be nice to have a community effort to expand the software to our needs and fix the several issues within it.

Looks like this project is dead.

Windows 10 Version 1909, Build 18363.1500:  Process Tamer is completely broken now... Can't change the priority with Process tamer automatically, not responding to the changes, no response from Mouser, wish there was some activity here to use this program.  Time to look for alternative to Process tamer.

Hi Papatech.
Because Process Tamer is one of the few apps I've made that exists in a non-gui form that wouldn't require much effort for others to build, I think open sourcing the code makes a lot of sense if I'm going to to update it much.
Let me chew on it a little more.  I'd like to get it all working on windows 10.

Any update on this?

Very very late to the party here, but just tried the x64 version. Works fine. Existing rules that forced to below normal were changed by the install to above normal. Easy enough to go back and set them back to below normal. Otherwise it is working perfectly. Again thanks for a great utility.  Oh and it works fine in windows 10 pro 22H2
