It works again ! Thank you very much.

For those interested to use the same kind of script, here is how it works :

- Right clic on your desktop and create a new shortcut.
- In the path field, copy/past the following script :
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c start "SierraChart 1" /High /affinity 1 "E:\SierraChart\SierraChart_64.exe"
You need to adapt the path (E:\SierraChart\SierraChart_64.exe) to your own Sierrachart directory
/high will give high priority to Sierrachart_64.exe
/affinity 1 will launch SierraChart on the CPU core 0
The value 1 is a hexadecimal value that is converted from binary. Lets say you have a 8 core CPU :
Core 0 = 00000001 binary = 1 HEX
Core 1 = 00000010 = 2
Core 2 = 00000100 = 4
Core 3 = 00001000 = 8
Core 4 = 00010000 = 10
Core 5 = 00100000 = 20
Core 6 = 01000000 = 40
Core 7 = 10000000 = 80
You can use an online Binary to HEX converter to find the HEX value you need to use if you have more cores :
