How to set "Process Priority" and "Process Affinity" on Windows 8?

Question

On Windows 7 everything we must do to set

"Process Priority"(to Low \ Below Normal \ Normal \ Above Normal \ High \ Realtime)

or to set

"Process Affinity"(to choose wich processor core would run on specifc process)

was opening Windows Task Manager, click on "Processes", right-click on a process and both options were showed and avaiable to easily set:

Nowadays, with Windows 8 I can't find it anymore...

1. Is this still avaiable?
2. If so, how could I do that?

Solution 1

Yes, it is still avaiable, but you can't access these configurations as the same way we did in the past(with Windows 7). It is still acessible via Windows 8 Task Manager , but not on the same place(on Processes tab).

Now, first of all, after opening the Task Manager(with Ctrl+Shift+Esc) you must click on "More Details" to see details of the running tasks:

Then you must go to the "Details" tab(and not to the "Processes" anymore as we usually did on windows 7). After that, right-click on the process "Name" that you want to set priority or affinity, then go to "Set Priority" or "Set Affinity" and set it as you may want:

Solution 2

You can still use Process Explorer to control priority and affinity:

@soandos: That is correct. It's still a third-party tool which is not included with Windows 8 (at least to my understanding).

@soandos - While not included with Windows its still written by Microsoft.
