How did you identify which cores to avoid using?
The person who referenced the Ryzen sounded like they were having the same error but entirely different circumstances so it's probably not the same. Identifying the core(s) is trial and error. Disable specific sets and narrow it down until you find which are causing the issue.
You can set the process affinity in task manager or use process lasso to achieve the same.
You can use task manager, however, process lasso allows for selecting multiple processes at once, which is helpful.
Unfortunately, setting the process affinity didn't solve the issue for me. I tried various combinations of different cores selected as well as disabling hyperthreading, but didn't have any luck.
Hey Dusty,
Someone else on a different site said that it was a low numbered core that had the issue for them.
That seemed likely for me also, since it occurred reasonably regularly, and I took a punt it would use lower numbered cores more often (I have no idea if this is true, but took a chance).
In any case, with Lasso it's really quick and easy to deselect cores. I did that for the first 6 cores and the problem went away instantly on every browser, every app, every mode, for ever.
I couldn't even bother narrowing it down further. I have lots of cores, and surely browsers can still work with 20+..!
ps. I have no relationship to Lasso or any other app maker. Just worked for me and others.
