ThreadPilot ✈️ v1.1.1

ThreadPilot is a free and open-source Windows process and power plan manager focused on deterministic performance workflows.

The project targets users who need Process Lasso style capabilities in a modern WPF desktop application with enterprise-grade reliability, security hardening, and automation support.

✨ Key Features

• Process management with live refresh, filtering, and high-volume process handling.
• CPU affinity and priority controls with topology-aware logic.
• I/O and scheduling related tuning utilities.
• Rule-driven power plan switching based on process start/stop events.
• Conditional profiles, system tray controls, and runtime monitoring.
• Windows 11 first-class support; Windows 10 support is best effort.

⚙️ Requirements

• Windows 11 (official support), Windows 10 22H2+ (best effort).
• .NET 8 SDK for source builds.
• Administrator privileges for advanced process and power operations.

📦 Download

Latest artifacts are published on each tagged release in GitHub Releases.

Package	File name	Recommended use
Installer (Recommended)	ThreadPilot_v1.1.1_Setup.exe	Standard Windows installer (Inno Setup) for most users
Portable	ThreadPilot_v1.1.1_singlefile_win-x64.zip	No-install deployment for power users
MSIX (Secondary)	ThreadPilot_1.1.1.0_win-x64.msix	Advanced/enterprise sideload scenarios

Verification example:

Get-FileHash .\ThreadPilot_v1.1.1_Portable.zip -Algorithm SHA256

Install flow summary:

1. Download the package matching your deployment model.
2. Installer package (recommended): run ThreadPilot_vX.Y.Z_Setup.exe and complete the wizard.
3. Portable package: extract ZIP and launch ThreadPilot.exe.
4. MSIX package (secondary): install only if your environment supports sideload trust requirements.

Notes:

• ThreadPilot executable is built with requireAdministrator manifest, so installer and portable builds always prompt UAC at launch and run elevated after consent.
• If UAC elevation is declined, the application does not start.
• In Power Plans > Custom Power Plans, use Add .pow File to add new custom plans directly from the app.
• The first opening of Performance shows a blocking onboarding modal with blurred background for clarity.
