Change status of Startup apps

Question

Hi, I have an app and I need it to be on high impact in startup, now its (not measured). Is there a setting to make it high impact?

Answer 1

In Task Manager, the term 'high impact' refers to the amount of your computer's resources the app uses. Ideally, you want your startup apps to have as little impact as possible, otherwise your computer's performance will suffer.

Answer 2

Hi Dr.FaisalFA

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

Sorry no, there is no setting for setting a high priority for a startup app, there is not even a registry hack to do that.

High Impact does not mean that more resources are assigned to the app, it is just Windows calculating how much resources a startup app is actually using, but that cannot be set.

Answer 3

Its an led software and when turning on takes time to light up perfectly, it was high impact but I don't know why its not measured now.

Thx for help appreciated

Answer 4

Hi Dr.FaisalFA, try re-installing that RGB lighting app, to see if Windows will re-scan that app again.

"In Task Manager, the term 'high impact' refers to the amount of your computer's resources the app uses."

You might prefer Microsoft's own explanation: See Startup apps on Microsoft's website.

Here is an excerpt:

"Microsoft provides tools to help app developers assess, analyze and take steps to reduce their startup impact and improve the user experience. "
