Third Step: Open Task Manager. Find Valheim under Processes. Click the dropdown arrow and right click Valheim. Click ‘Go To Details’.

Next right click valheim.exe and manuver to ‘Set Priority’ and change it to High. This is not a permanent and will need to reapplied everytime you restart Valheim.

There is an alternative alebit better way to work around this that I will post below.

This is an alternative albeit better method to automatically changing Valheim to High Priority. Credit goes to u/DerBoeseWolf on Reddit.

To start Valheim everytime on high priority:

On Windows you can create a shortcut of the valheim.exe to your desktop. Then right click > Settings then change the path/target from

YOURGAMEPATH\valheim.exe

to

cmd.exe /c start “Valheim” /high “YOURGAMEPATH\valheim.exe”

Now just use the shortcut to start Valheim.
