reset process priority on task manager

Why do you think a Process you see in Task Manager is not running at it's default priority?

Give an example of a Process you think is not running at it's default priority, what is the priority you see in Task Manager and what you think the default priority should be for that Process.

How do you think the priority of the Processes get changed from their default state?

If you changed the priority why don't you just change the priority of the Process back to what it was before?

If you change a Process priority in Task Manager, Task Manager isn't going to remember what the priority was before you changed it.

Just change it back to what it was before (undo the change) or restart the system and things will be back to normal.

Task Manager: Access Denied (Setting Priority)

Even though I use the admin profile and launch the task manager as such I get the "access denied" message when I try to change priority of the processes or set affinity for them. I have the latest build of Windows 10 Home Edition. Is there any solution for
this?
