The SetThreadPriorityBoost function disables the ability of the system to temporarily boost the priority of a thread.
BOOL SetThreadPriorityBoost(
HANDLE hThread, // handle to thread
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 SetThreadPriorityBoost is called with the DisablePriorityBoost parameter set to TRUE, the thread's priority is not boosted. To restore normal behavior, call SetThreadPriorityBoost with DisablePriorityBoost set to FALSE.
