If `SetPriorityClass` or `OpenProcess` fails for a process (e.g., anti-cheat protection, system processes), the process is added to an in-memory exclusion list and never touched again (logged as `BLOCK`). When the process exits, it is automatically removed from the list.
If `SetPriorityClass` or `OpenProcess` fails for a process (e.g., anti-cheat protection, system processes), the process is added to an in-memory exclusion list and never touched again (logged as `BLOCK`). Blocked processes are still measured for RSS each scan — if a blocked process exceeds `-game-mem`, it triggers game mode without attempting to change its priority. When the process exits, it is automatically removed from the list.
On shutdown, all processes are restored: game-mode demoted processes to their saved original priority, promoted and game processes to NORMAL.
On shutdown, all processes demoted during game mode are restored to their saved original priority.
