Windows has been driving me crackers the last few days trying to benchmark hard to measure optimisations, and tend to end up on long runs, looking for the minimum time.. Usually closing chrome results in an immediate ~10% performance boost even minimised.. I’d love to see an option for a Developer to lock off some cores totally, nothing runs on them unless its in an approved list.. At least then I can profile on those cores and get a reasonable result..

You can! I needed to run some realtime networking stuff on an isolated core and followed this [1]

I used Windows 11 and the two cores I isolated show no CPU usage in task manager until you run something that's pinned to those cores.
