Processor affinity is not new and many operating systems can accomplish this at the user level. In other words, you can do this yourself. Programmers can also assign specific cores or CPU's in their applications. However, you have to understand the application in order to determine if there's any real benefit vs letting the OS scheduler have complete control over where each thread resides.Look up "processor affinity". Each operating system has their own specific commands and/or APIs to manage affinity (or binding). taskset is common in Linux systems, cpuset in BSD, pset_bind in Solaris, etc.

Thanks! I can now see how to set the affinities in Windows 10, but would be very cumbersome because you would need set the affinity of foobar to one thread and then set all the other apps and services to do the inverse. And then you would need to redo it whenever to close and reopen an app or service.

It is not cumbersome at all and you can write a script to do it if you want.
However, there is transparency built into using Taskmgr, as opposed to using opaque software that claims to do whatever to improve 'timing'.
Useful tools for controlling your facilities.
This is not needed, if one wants to have clarity about what is happening to processes and priorities.
