I saw this was an issue many people have. I wanted to help the forum by making a small tutorial.
This might look a little scary but it's not bad; I promise!
Also, instead of opening at startup. You can just create the .bat file and open it from there manually.
1. Find the location of the file (not the shortcut) i.e Excel is for me is: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\EXCEL.exe
You can find this at the top of the file explorer. DONT FORGET TO ADD PROGRAM NAME i.e \excel.exe TO THE END.
2. Open notepad and paste/edit the following:
cmd /c start "" /High "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\EXCEL.exe"
edit the file path to the file you want to be set at a high priority.
3. File > "Save As" create the name of the file. I named it priority.bat. You can name it whatever, as long as it ends in .bat
Make sure you save the file ending with .bat and make sure you "Save as type: All Files (*.*)
I would put this file somewhere that it won't accidentally get deleted. The root of the C drive is fine (C:\priority.bat)
4. Open task Scheduler as administrator
5. In Task Scheduler at the top click "Action > Create Basic Task
Name it whatever you want. Click Next.
6. Choose When the computer starts
7. Choose Start a program
8. Click Browse to the file.bat that you just created
9. Click Next, then Finish.
Now every time you restart your PC that program will open as high priority.
