Description
I am running Windows 8.1 using VBox 4.3.26 and a couple of Fedora 21 based Linux guests on a 4 core i7 computer with 16 GB of memory. I would like to be able to set priority or change affinities of the Linux guests but I receive a message from Windows that access is denied. I tried running taskmgr from an administrative command prompt without success. Note that I am a Windows administrator as well. I am able to set priorities or change affinities for other Windows processes but not for the Linux guests. I even ran Tails, an ISO based TOR Linux implementation, guest as well and could not change its priorities or affinities either. To be clear I want to change the Windows priorities for the Linux guests and not priorities inside the Linux guest. Likewise I want to limit a 2 core guest to certain cores on my i7.
