How to configure thread in C # just for execution when CPU is inactive?

Question

I have a windows service in C #. I want a specific thread to perform certain actions, but only when the CPU is inactive. Is there any way to do this in C #.

Answer 1

You can let the OS handle it for you as follows:

Thread thread = Thread.CurrentThread;
thread.Priority = ThreadPriority.Lowest;

Answer 2

Try setting ThreadPriority to LowNormal or less. See MSDN .
