Is there a way to always have explorer.exe and browser process to highest priority?

My pc is so fast when i change explorer priority to super high LOL.


like if I had an SSD! but i dont have it.



I think of changing browser like that too. these are my main programs.



But its annoying always doing it manually.


How can I set it to always launch with super high priority?

Maybe you can code a program that automatically makes's it the highest priority? That would probably be the best option
wmic process where name="explorer.exe" CALL setpriority 128

Priority:

idle: 64 (or "idle")
below normal: 16384 (or "below normal")
normal: 32 (or "normal")
above normal: 32768 (or "above normal")
high priority: 128 (or "high priority")
real time: 256 (or "realtime")

   normal: 32 (or "normal")
   above normal: 32768 (or "above normal")
   high priority: 128 (or "high priority")
   real time: 256 (or "realtime")

what do you mean by "wmic process"?


also is this permanent?


oh i know what you mean, but that wont work for explorer.exe
Wouldn't explorer already be a high priority, it's a pretty integral part of Windows? Also using process hacker you can keep it permanent.

For something like a browser I'd think you can probably just use a powershell script which starts the process and sets the priority.
Just don't set anything to real time unless you want a BSOD.

i know ;) sometimes i set moving large folders (so explorer.exe) for realtime and i mean folders. 60gb+

speeds up significantly.

but i rarely do it on realtime as if i remember well i had a bsod on it on old pc. i set everything to very high now


btw process hacker worked amazing ;> ty
