Windows 10 internals for .NET developers

" summary

Shows concrete techniques: P/Invoke wrappers for the kernel job object to enforce CPU rate control (demo tool bundles processes and limits one to 5% CPU successfully), a Job class that calls CreateJobObject / AssignProcessToJobObject / SetInformationJobObject, using CLRMD to get OS thread IDs so threads can get saturation priorities, and Windows 10 CPU sets to reserve cores (simple Mandelbrot demos show measurable UI performance gains).
