Permanently change process priority under Windows
In order to always start a program with a higher or lower priority, you need a so-called batch file with which you start the program.
- Open "Execute" with the key combination [Win] + [R], type "notepad" and confirm with Enter.
- Enter "start / high" Chrome "path". Instead of "high" you can also specify "low", "below normal", "normal", "above normal" or "realtime".
- Enter the path to the desired program as the path. For Google Chrome that would be something like "C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Google \ Chrome \ Application \ chrome.exe". In this case you would completely enter the following: start "Chrome" / High "C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Google \ Chrome \ Application \ chrome.exe"
- Click "File" - "Save As" and save the file on the desktop, for example. Give the batch file any name and change the file extension to ".bat". For example "Chrome Turbo.bat".
- Open the task scheduler so that you do not have to run the file manually every time with administrator rights. To do this, start "Execute" again with [Win] + [R], enter "taskschd.msc" and confirm with Enter.
- Click on "Action" - "Create Task", enter a name, for example "Chrome" and activate the option "Run with highest privileges".
- Switch to the "Actions" tab and click on "New".
- Click "Browse", navigate to the path of the batch file you just created, select it and close the task window with "OK".
- Switch to the desktop, click with the right mouse button on a free space and choose "New" - "Link".
- Enter "C: \ Windows \ System32 \ schtasks.exe / RUN / TN" program name "as the path. Select the name given in the task planning as the program name. Click on "Next".
- Give the shortcut any name and finish the process. You can now start the program by linking to the selected priority.
