Internet Explorer Restriction Windows 11 Support This feature can be found under ‘Options / Control / More’. This is useful when legacy applications depend on Internet Explorer. Some users needed the ability to prohibit Internet Explorer (iexplore.exe) unless certain other processes were also running. ProBalance Ending When Parent Goes to Foreground Internet Explorer Restriction Finally, a distinct log entry type was added for when a ProBalance event ends due to a change in the foreground process. Previously, this exclusion was enforced only during the initial decision to act on a process, and so a process under restraint whose parent then went to the foreground would have to wait for a natural end to the ProBalance operation a few seconds later. ![]() With the default setting of ‘Ignore children of the foreground process’, processes under active restraint whose parent moves into foreground will now be immediately unrestrained. Foreground Boosting Menu ProBalance Improvements That said, we at Bitsum endeavor to let users run processes their way, so we made sure this feature works to its fullest. That is because Windows already does some foreground boosting and additional boosts are usually not effective, and may cause issues with some applications. ProBalance works in the opposite direction, lowering the priority of problematic background processes. Process Lasso’s Tiny Session Agent Foreground Boostingįoreground boosting dynamically increases the priority class of the process whose window is in the foreground. This simplifies the code and improves handling of multiple simultaneous sessions when the Governor is deployed as a normal process (GaaP) instead of service. We previously only installed the session agent for GaaS deployments, but now we always install it. This change was enabled by a tiny new session agent process, bitsumsessionagent.exe. We call this Governor-as-a-Service, or GaaS. In version 10.0, we changed the default Governor (the component of Process Lasso that enforces rules) deployment type to a system service. Let’s take a tour of a few of the changes… Session Agent Deployed Always ![]() Process Lasso v10.2 improves ProBalance, refactors foreground boosting, adds an Internet Explorer restriction feature, supports Windows 11, and more. ![]()
