Once an executing Task has completed, the prioritized Task will immediately start executing before any other Tasks in the queue.

+## Task queue priority
+
+In Octopus **2024.4** we have redesigned the task system. Tasks are processed based on their priority, in this order:

+- Tasks created from a prioritized deployment or runbook
+- Regular tasks
+
+Within each category, tasks are handled on a first in, first out basis.
