This can be a problem, and in this article, we’re going to show you a quick fix once and for all if you are unable to change priority.
Why can’t I change priority in Task Manager?
Usually, you might want to change priority in Task Manager so Windows will allocate a big part of its capacity to your preferred process for better performance. This error may appear for all processes on your system or with a specific process on all systems, but you don’t have to worry as we have a few solutions prepared.
What do I do if I can’t set priority in Task Manager on Windows 10?
1. Go to Safe Mode
If there’s no problem in Safe Mode, it’s rather likely that your settings or installed applications are causing this issue, so you might want to try disabling certain applications and check if that helps.
2. Show processes from all users
3. Make sure that Administrators have full control
You can also give Full control to the Users group, but that comes with some minor security risks.
4. Disable User Account Control
After doing that, User Account Control will be disabled, and you should be able to change the priority of your processes. If Task Manager can’t change priority, it’s rather likely that your settings are causing the problem, but you should be able to fix the problem after using our solutions.
