Comes at a cost to background process performance though.
> The Secret Ingredient: A New Memory Management System
> Windows 11 prioritizes apps and processes running in the foreground over background apps.
- SBArbeit 4y agoThis feature has existed since Windows NT. Nothing has changed about it. By default, Windows will raise the priority of foreground apps a tick. You can turn that off if you want.
- kyriakos 4y agoThat's acceptable for a desktop OS. It's not pretending it's server OS.
- karmakaze 4y agoDidn't Windows already used to have a setting for this? I remember I used to set it more to 'balanced' than make the UI faster back when I had a Windows work machine. I guess that was more for process scheduling and not the MMS.
- bayindirh 4y agoWindows 2000 used to have a setting for this, yes.
- bayindirh 4y agoIIRC this is one of the NT kernel features since its inception. Maybe they tweaked the slider towards foreground apps a little more.
