It's a problem for games launched with the Origin Client (at least Apex Legends that I know of).
The game's process r5apex.exe is protected and can't have its affinity or process priority changed once it is started up.
Unique traits:
The game inherits Origin.exe affinity settings by default
NotCPUCores is able to catch and adjust r5apex.exe affinity settings (when considered as 'Other Processes') if it is running before game is launched.
Problem:
NotCPUCores can't begin unless game is already running (or it'll auto stop if it detects game isn't running, I'm not too sure about the backend)
Launch game so r5apex.exe is fixed with the affinity settings I've assigned earlier
Run NotCPUCores
As I've mentioned, it is application specific and probably an issue affecting only a small number of your program's userbase, but it may still be useful for others.
This isn't that common but is becoming more common. The option to optimize child processes as well should resolve this issue. Planning to release an update here mid summer.
Minor issue, probably uncommon.
