I'm writing my own task manager as I often change process priorities but have gotten myself into trouble on several occasions. I have discovered by keeping csrss.exe and explorer at the equal highest priority, I can keep the computer running ok, or at least recover. So that's what my program does - keeps itself and those programs with high enough priority. It works great when run from visual studio, but as soon as i run it directly (whether in release or debug mode) I cannot access the process priority of csrss.exe. Is this a security issue
The error message begins like this
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box

Hi,
When I start a console program using the Process calss inside the
Visual Studio IDE (debug) all the output is redirected to my stream
reader. But when I run the same program from outside the IDE the
process opens a new shell window for the program and my program is put
on hold.
How can something work inside the IDE but not outside?!

run in the background (are not visible) and all their output is

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
