I activated BOINC in parallel with Foldit (BOINC is the support of CPU sharing like roseta~home etc). Even with carefull limitation of BOINC % use of my CPU, I observed that when BOINC is fully active, the total of % CPU used by my different clients running Foldit tents to be lower.
The only way i found to keep full CPU use by Foldit is to limit manually the number of tasks running for BOINC.
Does any other player have experience in this ? How can we give the absolute priority of CPU use to Foldit over any other process ? (Windows 10 Professional v22H2)

Task manager…processes…right click on program…select "go to details"
Select "Set priority". Set BOINC lower and Foldit higher.
