Set Priority on High in Windows Task Manager
Set Priority on High in Windows Task Manager
(OP)
Under the Processes tab in the Task Manager for Windows, if you right click on a process you can set the priority level of the process. If I change the priority level to High for SolidWorks, would this provide any extra performance for the program? What exactly would this do for me? Do I even want to change the priority for Normal (Default) to anyhting else? Just saw this option yesterday and was curious. I would like to hear any feedback. Thanks.

One word of warning ... do NOT set the priority to "Real Time" ... your system will probably freeze up if you do. A simple reboot will reset the default "Normal" priority though.
