How does the kernel in Windows handle real-time tasks and priority scheduling?

[ProfRon]

You know how the kernel acts like the traffic cop for your computer? It juggles all the apps begging for attention. When real-time tasks pop up, like video streaming or game inputs, the kernel bumps them to the front of the line.

I mean, it doesn't promise instant action like some fancy systems. But it tries hard by cranking up their priority levels. Higher priority means quicker turns on the CPU.

Picture threads as impatient kids at a playground. The kernel shouts who swings next based on urgency. Low-priority stuff waits if bosses need the slide right away.

You can tweak priorities yourself in Task Manager sometimes. The kernel just enforces the pecking order smoothly. It prevents one greedy app from hogging everything.

Real-time handling shines in multimedia or sensors. The kernel allocates time slices carefully. No one starves, but urgent jobs feast first.
