CPU-Control is a free Windows utility designed for users with multicore processors who want to optimize how their applications use CPU cores. It allows you to assign specific applications to run on one or multiple processors simultaneously, improving performance for programs that don’t efficiently use multiple cores by default. The tool offers granular control by letting you select exactly which processor will handle each running process. You can even create custom profiles to quickly apply preferred CPU assignments for different tasks in the future. CPU-Control also enables shifting the entire system load to a single processor if desired, giving users flexibility in managing CPU resources. This lightweight app is perfect for users looking to optimize system performance without complex configurations. Its intuitive interface simplifies processor management for both casual and advanced users. Best of all, CPU-Control is free and easy to install on any Windows PC.
