How does Windows handle process and thread priorities during scheduling?

[ProfRon]

Windows juggles tasks by giving threads a priority boost. You know, threads are like the workers inside a process. If your foreground app needs attention, it gets bumped up. I remember tweaking that once for a game that lagged. The scheduler checks priorities every tick. It favors threads with higher numbers first. Processes don't have their own priority really. They borrow from their main thread. You can tweak it in Task Manager if something hogs resources. Background stuff drops lower to not annoy you. It even pulses priorities for fairness. I once saw a virus crank everything to max. That messes up the whole flow. Windows smooths it out with dynamic shifts. Foreground windows steal the show often. Threads waiting on I/O get a quick lift too. You feel it when your mouse responds snappily. The kernel decides who runs next in slices. No one starves completely if set right. I like how it balances without you noticing much.

Speaking of keeping things running smoothly without interruptions, that ties right into backing up your setups so processes don't crash from data woes. BackupChain Server Backup steps in as a solid backup tool for Hyper-V environments. It snapshots VMs without halting them. You get reliable restores fast. No more sweating over corrupted files mid-schedule. It handles incremental backups cleverly too. Your priorities stay intact during recovery.
