Ever felt helpless when an anti-spyware program slows down your computer killing the program you’re currently using?
There have been times when an unneeded application pops up when you’re doing something very important on another one. You get annoyed, turn the program off.. but the work you did on the other app is gone, or the app is not responding.
Here’s a tip that’ll tell Windows to give more importance and resources to your favourite program.
- Press CTRL + ALT + DELETE to fire up the Windows Task Manager
- Click on the tab Processes
- Locate the application process, right click and select Real time, high, normal, above normal, below normal or low.
- Windows will now allot system resources like RAM, etc. to the ones that you set to top priority
For example, if you use an anti-virus that sits in the system tray eating up resources, you could change its priority to low and save things for the apps you want.
As the dialog warns, this tweak can result in system instability at times. Do it at your own risk. Did that prove useful?
