One advanced and practical way <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/why-is-my-computer-so-slow-how-to-improve-computer-performance\/\">to boost your PC performance <\/a> is to change the process priority. Setting the process priority is easy, but it can be tricky if you don\u2019t have the right instructions.<\/p>\n<p>So how to set priority in Task Manager? And what even is the process priority? This guide will answer these questions and more.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s begin.<\/p>\n<h2>Understanding Process Priority<\/h2>\n<p>Computers rarely perform multitasking. In fact, when your computer looks like it\u2019 s managing several apps or background processes, it is actually just switching between them rapidly.<\/p>\n<p>There is a limit to the number of tasks your PC can take on this way\u2014even if your computer runs on multi-core processors.<\/p>\n<p>So it\u2019 s important to manage the time assigned to each task.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b>Also read: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/does-more-cpu-cores-mean-better-performance\/\">CPU Cores Explained: Does the Number of Cores Affect CPU Performance <\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Your computer must establish a priority system to determine which jobs are more crucial to appear to be functioning in real time.<\/p>\n<p>The process priority determines the \u201cimportance\u201d of each task. Tasks essential for the smooth operation of your PC get priority, mainly system processes rather than standard applications.<\/p>\n<p>This ensures that your computer\u2019s core operations continue running normally, even when working hard.<\/p>\n<h2>What Are Various Levels of Process Priority?<\/h2>\n<p>Like a ranking system, process priority is separated into numerous levels. Processes are ranked from least important to most important in this order.<\/p>\n<p>There are six priority levels in Windows, but you or other apps can only change five. Let\u2019s go through them:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Normal<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Most applications operate at this standard priority level.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Below normal<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These processes use fewer resources than standard applications. This level would work best for\u00a0 less essential activities without strict deadlines.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Low<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is the lowest priority level in Windows. These activities only receive resources after other processes have finished.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Above normal<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This level is a bit above average. It would be best applied to tasks that require a modest performance boost without competing with system functions.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>High<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Reserved for vital system operations required for efficient computer functioning. It is not suggested for regular user applications.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Realtime<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is the highest priority level. Here, tasks run in real time.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that if you use <em>Realtime<\/em> priority level for routine apps, system crashes may happen. This level is mostly meant for hardware interfacing tasks. It\u2019s recommended that you stick with <em>Normal<\/em> and occasionally <em>Above Normal<\/em> priority levels for basic tasks.<\/p>\n<p>Assign lower levels to less significant background processes and the higher levels for system operations.<\/p>\n<p>In the next sections, we\u2019ll go through how to change priority in Task Manager.<\/p>\n<h2>Setting Priority from the Details Tab<\/h2>\n<p>Here\u2019s how to change the priority of a process in Windows 10:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Type\u00a0 <code>Task Manager<\/code>\u00a0in the search bar and click on it to open.

In some cases, raising the priority level can even assist in fixing game crashes.<\/p>\n<h2>FAQ<\/h2>\n<div class=\"best-faq\">\r\n\t<div class=\"best-faq__header\">Why can\u2019t I set priority in Task Manager?<\/div>\r\n\t<div class=\"best-faq__content\">\r\n\t\tIf you can\u2019t set priority in your Task Manager, the process might not enable priority changes, or you might not have administrative rights. You can\u2019t change the priority of some system-critical processes.\r\n\t\t\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"best-faq\">\r\n\t<div class=\"best-faq__header\">How do I set performance priority in Task Manager?<\/div>\r\n\t<div class=\"best-faq__content\">\r\n\t\tThe process is simple. Right-click on the process in the <em>Task Manager\u2019s Details<\/em> tab and select <em>Set priority<\/em>. After that, choose the preferred priority level.\r\n\t\t\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"best-faq\">\r\n\t<div class=\"best-faq__header\">What is the best priority in the Task Manager?<\/div>\r\n\t<div class=\"best-faq__content\">\r\n\t\tFor most applications, <em>Normal<\/em> priority is the ideal option. You should limit using <em>Realtime<\/em>,\u201d if at all, and <em>High<\/em> priority should be saved for crucial system tasks.\r\n\t\t\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"best-faq\">\r\n\t<div class=\"best-faq__header\">What happens if I set the priority to High?<\/div>\r\n\t<div class=\"best-faq__content\">\r\n\t\tWhen you increase the process level to <em>High<\/em>, it receives extra CPU time. This enhances performance. With that said, you should only be using this priority level for essential tasks. Using this priority level excessively can make your system less responsive.\r\n\t\t\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Setting Process Priority determines which tasks are more important for your system.
