TopWinPrio

Even though new hardware components constantly flood the market in a struggle to provide more power to the connected machine, video games and computer applications keep requiring more and more resources. Luckily, applications such as TopWinPrio take over resource allocation so that they are carefully distributed to make your working or gaming experience smoother.

Overall the application requires little attention on your behalf, most of its time staying hidden in the system tray. What's more, you can set the application to launch on startup for faster loading and processing times.

The application's core function is pretty simple, enhancing resource allocation to the active window while reducing it from background programs. Seeing how many processes run in the background and not all of them requiring a lot of resources, a significant boost in efficiency can be obtained.

You gain access to three tabs in the main window. The first displays a real-time updating list of applications that have been boosted, along with the exact time the event took place. This is strictly for informative purposes, with no possibility to export the list to file.

Depending on the additional juice you want to squeeze out of the machine, you can customize the overall process. The application lets you enable the booster to affect file explorer as well, adjust the refresh rate, set priority to apply to the active window, as well as deciding whether or not inactive windows should have priority reduced.

To sum it up, TopWinPrio is a handy utility you might want to keep around, even if your computer is capable of processing everything you throw at it. Result is best observed when used on low-end computers, through the smart resource allocation system. It can be used by anyone, regardless of experience and can reduce the chance of crashes or hangs, keeping your work a little safer.
