hi guys<br />
<br />
I've only recently come by the option of knowing how to set certain services to work with only one core or two cores or all cores on one's server or PC. <br />
<br />
The question is, to maximise the performance of a system, to reduce the number of crashes or freezes, would it be right to say that setting only a certain number of cores to certain services will have a positive impact? I know that some applications require ALL cores. But how does one know which one's to change to only a few cores and to leave others to maximise the numbers?<br />
<br />
Thanks for helping<br />

What affinity to set certain application to for maximum/better performance?

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens.

A personal computer is a general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities and price make it useful for individuals, and is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer time-sharing models that allowed systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time. Personal computers may be connected to a local area network (LAN), either by a cable or a wireless connection, and through that to the Internet. A personal computer may be a laptop computer or a desktop computer running an operating system such as Windows, Linux or Macintosh OS.
