Task Manager set to "Below Normal"

The game changes that automatically. Whenever it's not in focus, it goes to "Below Normal", and when it is in focus, it goes to "Normal".
As such, you can't change it manually, but don't worry about it actually running at "Below Normal", because it's not.
There's nothing wrong. When you leave the game (to check the task manager, for example), the priority is automatically lowered. When the game gets focus, it will automatically raise in priority. Unless you have 2 monitors with task manager running on the second monitor, you won't be able to see this effect.
You can see the effect if you set the task manager so it's "Always On Top", under Options.

Help please! I haven't played in a while, but after returning from my hiatus, COX did an update and now it constantly plays at "Below Normal" speed.
Not sure if this is a bug or not, but the lag is bad and every time I try to set the priority to "Above Normal" is defaults back.
If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. And I'm not fully knowledgeable about computers. I just know enough to be dangerous so the less technical the explanation, the better.
