Wmic process where description='cmd.exe' list briefĬompare the results. Now let’s try to select the necessary processes using WMI. Pay attention to the PID of the process(es). Now the list of processes is limited to those having “cmd.exe” in their name. I have deliberately started several copies of cmd.exe, to make it more demonstrative. You’ll get the list of processes run on your local computer. I won’t give the example of running this command as the list of processes is too long. REALTIME Start application in the REALTIME priority class.ĪBOVENORMAL Start application in the ABOVENORMAL priority class.īELOWNORMAL Start application in the BELOWNORMAL priority class.Īs we can see, the START command allows to run a process with the same 6 priorities available in the Task Manager HIGH Start application in the HIGH priority class. NORMAL Start application in the NORMAL priority class. LOW Start application in the IDLE priority class. Starts a separate window to run a specified program or command. The available keys responsible for priorities are as follows (I deliberately omit the keys of the START command, which are not related to the process of setting priorities being described): You can use START command with the corresponding keys The priorities are changes with your mouse and you cannot make it automatic.

Only 6 types of priorities are available.Start a task/process and change its priority using Task Manager How to start a process with a non-standard priority or change it? Method 1. The following table shows process priorities, relative and current priorities of a thread. Idle: sets the current priority of a thread as 16 for the Real time class, and 1 for the rest classes.Time critical: sets the current priority of a thread as 31 for the Real time class, and 15 for the rest classes.Below normal: -1 from the priority of the process.Above normal: +1 to the priority of the process.

Task manager priority high vs real time
