I understand that you’re experiencing some challenges and I appreciate your patience. It appears you’re trying to set the priority of audiodg.exe to high and limit its affinity to the second core. Here are a few methods you might find helpful:

1. Process Lasso: This software could be a solution to your problem. I noticed that you’ve tried various software and shortcut files, but it’s unclear if you’ve explored Process Lasso yet. Based on feedback from other community members, this program seems to have been effective in resolving similar issues. Please refer to the relevant article for more information.

   Disclaimer: Generally, modifying registry subkeys or work group is intended for advanced users, administrators, and IT Professionals. It can help fix some problems, however, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For further protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

How do i permanently set affinity/priority in windows 11?

Hi ,

Try using the 3rd Process Lasso program to configure and define priority and affinity as it starts with Windows and modify the process to the affinity you want.

But as it is a Windows service, it may be able to reset the settings over time.
