Right click the process in Task Manager, options are all there.

Windows 10: When I right click, I see these options:
* Expand
* End task
* Resource values
* Create dump file
* Go to details
* Open file location
* Search online
* Properties
What do I click on next?
Thanks much! So the action can be performed under the Details tab. Excellent.
Is there a way to make the change permanent?

Cool, thank you! Somehow I can't set this to Realtime priority, it automatically sets to High although all other variants work.
I have found this handy tool to be a very neat way of setting process priorities permanently in Windows 10 (and previous Windows versions).
It is similar in operation to Task Manager (ie. find the Pianoteq.exe program in the Processes tab, right click, select Process Priority, choose your priority level and then tick the Permanent option to fix it).
Easy as that!
System Explorer can easily be accessed from the system tray with very little overhead on performance and seems to offer improved functionality over the standard Windows Task Manager.
Still a great recommendation! I've had a significant improvement running Pianoteq with "High Priority" on a decent desktop computer with a decent ASIO soundcard at 2ms buffer. In my copy of Windows 10 (though it may be different on your machine), based on the link shared by EvilDragon above, this involves creating a shortcut with Location/Target of
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c start "Pianoteq 8" /High "C:\Program Files\Modartt\Pianoteq 8\Pianoteq 8.exe"
I pinned it to my start menu. "High"ly recommended Of course, I am slightly concerned that I may be flying to close to the sun. So far, though, it has worked well without signs of any issue for several days, several hours at a time. As far as I can tell, it doesn't maxed out my CPU cycles or overheated my soundcard, and glitching sound such as pops and static are reduced.
Check something like process lasso.
