| Vista Home Premium 32bit | Re: CPU Priority for Processes Hi, is it usual for the processes to make them selfs high or low priorities? Because the process dwm.exe usually sets its self to high priority. Also when i play guild wars it sets its self to low priority and its incredibly slow! Have any ideas? sincerely, Iceedew |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: CPU Priority for Processes Hello Iceedew, and welcome to Vista Forums. Yes, a program can have itself set to run with a certain CPU priority by design. Some programs will even allow you to manually change the CPU priority in it's settings somewhere. For example, Auslogics Disk Defrag. (Settings, Program Settings, Defragmentation tab, CPU Usage) Hope this helps, Shawn |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: CPU Priority for Processes Hi LightingSpeed11, If you lower the CPU priority level for a process (program), then it will slow down or stop running if another higher priority process (program) is running until the process (program) you set is closed, you logoff, or shutdown Vista to reset the CPU priority levels back to default. Hope this helps, Shawn |

| Windows Vista 64-bit ultimate | Re: CPU Priority for Processes Hello, I'm new and I'd just like to say your threads and guides are really good, very helpful. One question about setting the cpu priority... Can it be, for example set to high or real time everytime the application/.exe runs? Thanks. |
