I can't change the priority of WinUAE 3.6.0

Hi Toni,

I can't change the priority of WinUAE 3.6.0 in the "Pri. & Extensions" tab. When I choose a Quickstart configuration, all options are disabled and in addition, when I save the configuration with another name and load it then the "When Active" combobox is set to "Above Normal". After I press "Start", it is sometimes possible to change these options, but usually not.

Earlier versions do not seem to have the same problem. I've attached a Quickstart configuration for you to test.

Thanks,
Leandro.

Screenshot? Did you notice that lower priority levels are disabled by design if higher priority has same option set?

I do not know what's happening right now because the program is working right. It may be my anti-virus Avast because it has a "game mode" which increases the priority of programs. Windows 10 itself has a feature like that and it is enabled as well. And yesterday my computer stayed on for many hours as well.

I'm sorry, Toni. If I have any news I'll try to post here again.

I wondered about it also, but yeah, I noticed the new(er) by design later. I have all of the priority options disabled because I like to Minimize and stuff have some MODs or MEDs (Rush, MetallicA and others) playing in the background. If I change any Priority settings the Normal, Below Normal, and Low stay ghosted. Not a big deal to me, but since someone else noticed I figured I would comment. 3.6.1 public Beta 1 32-bit. Admin mode or normal...same thing.
