![]() ![]() Changing the execution priority can, in some cases, crash the application and if it's a data-write operation, possibly corrupt your data! This is because you are changing the execution settings for a process that may have been designed to operate under one specific execution state. I would almost never recommend manually setting a process to run in "real time" from within the System Manager. In this case, real time execution could have almost no affect on the system but give a reasonable performance bump to the high priority process. For instance, if a process is started and it is assigned to work on only 1 of, say, 8 CPU cores, setting the processes priority to "real time" would mean that it would consume one processor, leaving 7 to be used by the OS and any other software. ![]() It is also worth mentioning that there is a case when a process can run at the highest priority setting and it not seem to greatly affect your system performance. I've never seen software that starts in an above normal state. Most software runs under a "Normal" level, but occasionally you may see a few that are running at a lower level by default. The Task Manager shows this as an optional setting because it is an option that can be set for the process by the software that initiated it's execution. This may seem unnecessary but when a process is started, parameters can be passed that set the process to run at various levels of priority. ![]()
