    How do I make a program high priority for the CPU?


    Well yeah, the title basically. I tried to look it up but task manager doesn't seem to have the set priority option when I right click, plus I don't wanna do it every time I open it and I'm not sure if the task manager way will work for that

    Set CPU Process Priority for Applications in Windows 10


    Thanks Shawn, I've just tried it and I'm not sure if that's going to do what I want. It doesn't seem to have done at any rate.

    Putting this into a command prompt opens the program in high priority:
    start "" /High "C:\Program Files\LTC\LTspiceXVII\XVIIx64.exe"

    but what I really want (if possible) is to be able to click random files (applicable to the program of course) and get it to open in High Priority.

    The newly created shortcut following Polo's suggestion opens the program itself correctly, although unfortunately not correctly from clicking random files. If I browse for the file from within LT then its all good.

    I hope these images make sense How do I make a program high priority for the CPU? :) It would just be the icing on the cake to be able to do this.

    High CPU Usage in Windows 10 Version 1703

    Hi,

    There are programs that cause high CPU usage by creating multiple processes which consume resources on your computer. For us to provide the best resolution possible, we'll be needing additional information:

    • Are you using a third-party software or program such as antivirus?
    • Are there any changes made on your computer prior to the issue?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    We'll keep an eye out for your response.
