Where Does Process Lasso Keep Its Configuration?
Process Lasso stores rules, priorities and settings in a config folder under AppData, and the About window shows the live path.

Process Lasso is opinionated about what it writes, and it writes it in one place. The configuration, including process rules, default priorities, CPU affinities, ProBalance settings and remembered window positions, lives in the app's config directory under your AppData folder. The files are plain and readable, with the main settings kept in a global ini file and profiles stored alongside it. Nothing important hides in the registry.
Bitsum made the path easy to confirm rather than guess. The About dialog shows the exact configuration file path in use, and the menu has options to open either the local config folder or the global one. That matters because a machine that has been upgraded through several versions or moved between user accounts can end up with more than one config location, and only the live one is actually changing when you adjust a rule.
Where Process Lasso stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\ProcessLasso\config
Holds the global configuration, including the main ini file and profile data. The About dialog shows the exact path in use and offers a shortcut to open the folder. Copying this folder is the cleanest way to move settings to another PC.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Process Lasso settings?
Copy the whole config folder from %APPDATA%\ProcessLasso to a safe location, or use the config save options in the menu. To restore, exit Process Lasso and paste the files back. The About window confirms which path the running copy actually uses.
How do I reset Process Lasso to default settings?
Exit the app, then rename or delete the config folder and start it again. Fresh defaults appear on launch. Back the folder up first, since rules for dozens of processes are tedious to rebuild from memory.
My rule changes are not sticking. What should I check?
Confirm the config folder exists and is writable, and that you are editing rules in the same installation that is running, since a second copy can hold its own config. The About dialog shows the live path, which clears up most confusion in one glance.
