    I'm trying to change the priority settings for a game called Squad from 'normal' to 'high' and I keep getting an "access denied" message. How do I get access?

    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.

  4. Task Manager will not allow me to change a files priority

    Unable to change priority in task manager for Windows 10?

    I am currently unable to change priorities in my task manager for Windows 10. Right now I want to play Rust on my computer, so I would want to set the priority to high so I can get better fps. Even as I run it as Administrator I cannot change the priority.
    I am logged into my Microsoft account and I am an Administrator on my computer. I am not a techy so I don't really know what I am doing but I would like to know if I can change this or not.
