Start process in high priority

Question

When windows starts I see most of the processes start in normal priority. I can manually change the priority of a running process. But what I want is when a particular process starts it be automatically set to run in high priority.

How is that possible?

Solution 1

You can start a process in high proirity in command line. Use the start command.

start ["title"] [/dPath] [/i] [/min] [/max] [{/separate | /shared}] [{/low | /normal | /high | /realtime | /abovenormal | belownormal}] [/wait] [/b] [FileName] [parameters]

eg:- start "Explorer" /high "C:\Windows\explorer.exe" For easy access type this into a notepad and save as file with "bat" extension. Then you only have to double click this file

Solution 2

Try somethinglike this win HCKU current version run:

cmd /c start "Google Sync" /belownormal "C:\Program Files\Google\Drive\googledrivesync.exe" /autostart

The question was rather how to start process in high priority, not how to start it upon logon.

How do you call it when you want to do it at login @BishnuD.? I'd commend you call this entire process instead of just the process you want to start.... so start "whateverthisis#" /high /path/to/the/executable
