Task manager as Admin

Post by Advent »

Hey, i want to set Priority to 'Realtime' for a process in my task manager, but it says 'access denied' and sets it to 'high' instead.

How can i run the Task manager in admin mode to allow me to use realtime?

Thanks in advance.

navigate to C:\Windows\System32. right-click taskmgr.exe -> run as administrator (of course youll need to enter admin user/pass at that point).
