This seems like an overly intrussive way of achieving a very simple objective, you can just use the Windows registry, I actually do it for every game, here's how:
You could use the registry editor but the easy way is to just use a *.reg file, you create a *.txt file and paste this inside:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\Control_DX12.exe\PerfOptions] "CpuPriorityClass"=dword:00000003 "IoPriority"=dword:00000003 "PagePriority"=dword:00000005 Then you save it and rename it to whatever you want .reg, double click and it's done, your OS now knows that those specific executables have to be run with priority.
You can also use this trick to do the opposite and brake some background software, I use it with some obnoxious launchers, instead of 3 3 5, those values should be 1 1 2, and of course use the right *.exe name.

Just a quick question, does this mod stop or delay the crashes for a long period of time as i have endured a staggering amount of crashes in the last week or so. about 20 or more.
