Allow for multiple Work/Play processes #44

Minor issue, probably uncommon.

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. image

Unique traits:

Problem:

The current tedious workaround:

  1. Manually assign 'Origin.exe's affinity withTask Manager`
  2. Launch game so r5apex.exe is fixed with the affinity settings I've assigned earlier
  3. 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.
