The Thread Priority box shows you the base priority of the thread selected in the Thread Selection box. This is not an absolute priority, but is a range of priorities that can be selected by the operating system for the selected thread.
The fields of the Thread Priority box are as follows:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Highest | The highest priority level allowed by the process priority. |
| Above Normal | Slightly elevated priority. |
| Normal | The standard priority level for the given process priority. |
| Below Normal | Reduced priority. |
| Idle | No CPU time will be spent on this thread unless all other threads are blocked. |
