## Core Affinity Inheritance in Windows

In **Windows**, child processes inherit the core affinity settings from their parent processes. For example, if the

37

inherit this restriction and be limited to those same cores.

will inherit this restriction and be limited to those same cores, unless the application itself or the user changes the

core affinity (for example, via Task Manager or Process Governor).
