TopWinPrio

 

 

 


Windows XP or Later

TopWinPrio

  Most if not all applications in Windows are given a “Normal” priority. That  means that all programs run simultaneously and if you have a lot of programs running, all will run equally slow. TopWinPrio checks to see what window is active and gives it a higher priority than the usual normal priority. Once this window loses focus, TopWinPrio gives the window its standard status back.

By default, TopWinPrio gives the active application a priority “AboveNormal”, but not “High” as many programs do. This is due to the balance of giving the active window a higher priority, but not taking priority from the drivers and other important running tasks.
