[SOLVED] How can I limit system resource for a particular app

[Vaibhav_Rai@]

One day I was scrolling through the instagram reels and saw "PC tips and tricks reel". In that he opened task manager and right clicked on a process and a bunch option appeared and then he clicked something and I'm not sure what he clicked. So do you guys know how to it or if it's not even possible from task manager then is there any way to do it?

As far as I know, the priority can be changed and how much and which "cpus" ( that means which cores) can be used for a process.

But what and why do you want to limit ?

Actually I want to limit the CPU usage of blender, I completed one of my project and now I have to render it, it's pretty big so it's gonna take sometime but I have other important stuff to do. So I was wondering if I could not keep the usage at 100% and rather pull it down to 50-60% so that I can do other stuff

The best answer it to lower the priority of the Blender task. That way other things will interrupt it and take resources, but when nothing else needs them it will get them.
To set the priority of a process, you have to go to the "details" tab in task manager. Then right click on the process and select "Set Priority" Change it to Low. Then almost anything will interrupt it.

Same way as kanewolf explained, but instead of priority select processor-affinity.
