Excavator always starts on high CPU priority

[synogen]

Tested with 1.8.7.0 and 1.8.8.0 without any further command line, just running excavator.exe as is.

This is not expected behavior for any miner, especially on a system that's actively being used where mining is meant to be run in the background. It's mainly problematic for CPU mining.
I saw there is a HIGHPRIORITY option in one of the command files but it does not seem to do anything no matter the value.

At first I thought it was NiceHash Miner that sets the priority but since it's on high priority even when running it by itself I'm guessing it's something Excavator does by itself?

Appreciate any advice, thanks!

I'm having the same issue, 1.8.8.0.
I tried removing HIGHPRIORITY option from the command file, but still starting as high priority.

Same here. It essentially Freezes my PC. I have to force Power-Off to get back to Desktop.
