There's been no forward progress on this. If you're comfortable getting the util-linux source package through Cygwin setup*.exe, you can follow the steps shown in https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin-apps/2020-March/039855.html to build (with cygport) a local copy of util-linux that includes a taskset.exe you can move into /usr/local/bin, for example. You might try that route if you're up for it. Feel free to ask questions here if you hit a snag. HTH, ..mark
