    Set FlightSimulator.exe Priority to High Fixed

    I used that method to set the priority to High and checked the details are correct in RegEdit. However, MSFS 2020 still starts with Normal priority. Is this because it runs as a Store app and not a 'normal' program?
    You're missing "PerfOptions" in the registry path, go into Regedit and delete the old reg file, then use this code.
    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\FlightSimulator.exe]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\FlightSimulator.exe\PerfOptions]
"CpuPriorityClass"=dword:00000003
    I've also made a mistake and is missing this top line of the registry path. Sorry about this and should work now!
