There are many times when a process will hog your CPU, such as when converting audio/video files, or working with compressed archives. Because these processes completely consume the CPU, your system becomes sluggish to respond and using the computer for other tasks becomes impossible while these processes are running.
You either wait for the process to finish or kill the process if you urgently need to use the computer for other tasks. There is a better way than this two that is to lower the process priority of the tasks that’s causing the high CPU usage. By default, all processes are at Normal priority. You can set it to Realtime, High, AboveNormal, Normal, BelowNormal and Low in Windows Task Manager. Problem is, when your computer is sluggish, it’s tough to open up Windows Task Manager and set the process to Low.

What you need is a program that can detect high CPU usage and automatically set it to Low priority and then set it back to Normal once it is no longer hogging on the CPU usage.
