Frequent Question: Which Scheduling Algorithm Is Used in Windows 10?
Contents

Windows Scheduling: Windows scheduled threads using apriority-based, preemptive scheduling algorithm. The scheduler ensures that the highest priority thread will always run.

Which scheduling algorithm is used in Windows?

There is no universal “best” scheduling algorithm, and many operating systems use extended or combinations of the scheduling algorithms above. For example, Windows NT/XP/Vista uses a multilevel feedback queue, a combination of fixed-priority preemptive scheduling, round-robin, and first in, first out algorithms.

Which scheduling algorithm is best?

The calculation of three algorithms shows the different average waiting time. The FCFS is better for a small burst time. The SJF is better if the process comes to processor simultaneously. The last algorithm, Round Robin, is better to adjust the average waiting time desired.
