Increase scheduling priority

AKA: SeIncreaseBasePriorityPrivilege, Increase scheduling priority

Default assignment: Administrators

This right allows you to increase the priority of processes running on the system so that the CPU scheduler allows them to pre-empt other lower priority processes when the higher priority process has something to do. The most common way to increase a process’s priority is through Task Manager. To exercise this right you must still have Write Property permission in the ACL of the target process.

User Rights Assignment

• 1 contributor
• Windows 10

Provides an overview and links to information about the User Rights Assignment security policy settings user rights that are available in Windows. User rights govern the methods by which a user can log on to a system. User rights are applied at the local device level, and they allow users to perform tasks on a device or in a domain. User rights include logon rights and permissions. Logon rights control who is authorized to log on to a device and how they can log on. User rights permissions control access to computer and domain resources, and they can override permissions that have been set on specific objects. User rights are managed in Group Policy under the User Rights Assignment item.

Each user right has a constant name and a Group Policy name associated with it. The constant names are used when referring to the user right in log events. You can configure the user rights assignment settings in the following location within the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) under Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment , or on the local device by using the Local Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc).

For information about setting security policies, see Configure security policy settings .

The following table links to each security policy setting and provides the constant name for each. Setting descriptions contain reference information, best practices for configuring the policy setting, default values, differences between operating system versions, and considerations for policy management and security.

Control process priority using group policy?

Is it possible to prevent users from changing process priority using group policy? The best I can find is to block users from accessing task manager.

• active-directory
• group-policy

You can change the StartProcess behaviour, not the Scheduler itself. You can, for example, allow the Administrators as the only account for controlling process starting scheduling priorities.

This is done here:

Increase scheduling priority

This policy setting determines which user accounts can increase the base priority class of a process. It is not a privileged operation to increase relative priority within a priority class.

Specifically, this security setting determines which accounts can use a process with Write Property access to another process to increase the run priority that is assigned to the other process. A user with this privilege can still change the scheduling priority of a process through the Task Manager user interface. Or shorter: A User can do with his User Process whatever he wants.

Window s10 registry settings to "Increase scheduling priority.

I am working on a security template and one of the change I have to make remotely is "Increase scheduling priority " The settings are available by changing local group policy.

But the problem is we don’t have a way to access local GPO remotely. Only way we can make changes or access remotely is the running a scripts to change the registry keys . I need to know is there a way to find registry settings of specific gpo settings . or an alternative of following GPO ?.

Local Computer Policy >> Computer Configuration >> Windows Settings >> Security Settings >> Local Policies >> User Rights Assignment.

The registry keys are found in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

Don.W I checked already and it doesn’t have all policies except few.

Yep checked this spread sheet and didn’t help at all

I think EmimentX was correct when he wrote, “User Rights security settings are not registry keys”

This source agrees:

So, it doesn’t look like any sort of registry manipulation will help.

The following links go over the user rights assignment and how to apply it. Increase scheduling priority isn’t a registry key and if you don’t have windows 10 or 11 pro don’t install gpedit.msc on windows 10 or 11 home for it doesn’t work as it should.
