How to run Process.Start on a background thread and give it high priority? I am in a wpf C# application. Thanks

Threads can *start* processes just fine, but you're right to say they can't *contain* processes. — tomfanning, Sep 28 '12 at 13:31
Why do you need to start it in a background thread? Starting a process is non-blocking; it doesn't take long at all. Chances are you could do it from a non-background thread without any problems. — Servy, Sep 28 '12 at 13:42

Start a process with

Process.Start()

And then set PriorityClass after you launched it.

About starting Processes from threads see this link: Async process start and wait for it to finish

   ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(delegate {
        Process process = Process.Start(startInfo);
        if(process.WaitForExit(timeout)) {
            // user exited
        } else {
            // timeout
        }
    });
