The SetProcessPriorityBoost function disables the ability of the system to temporarily boost the priority of the threads of the specified process.
BOOL SetProcessPriorityBoost(
HANDLE hProcess, // handle to process
BOOL DisablePriorityBoost // priority boost control state
);
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
When a thread is running in one of the dynamic priority classes, the system temporarily boosts the thread's priority when it is taken out of a wait state. If SetProcessPriorityBoost is called with the DisablePriorityBoost parameter set to TRUE, its threads' priorities are not boosted. This setting affects all existing threads and any threads subsequently created by the process. To restore normal behavior, call SetProcessPriorityBoost with DisablePriorityBoost set to FALSE.
