Optimize Windows for Best Performance

Window automatically manages between a number of foreground processes while a CPU is running. It has the built-in ca
pability to manage allocation of tasks. Windows does so by allotting a priority to tasks. Due to this reason, your computer is able to handle multiple process on a single core processor.

In order to optimize your copy of Windows to meet your requirements, you can adjust the Processor by scheduling the task allocation which it deals with. Using this features, you can set up Windows, so that it is optimized to run programs or foreground services OR Background Services, like printing or backing up, while you work in another program, by adjusting Processor Scheduling. This way, Windows then knows how to distribute or allocate the available the resources, to best perform these tasks. If you’re using Windows as server, we recommend you to adjust processor scheduling for background processes.
