I created a console app in c# with a single Console.ReadLine statement. Running this app within Visual Studio and stepping into the debugger shows 7 threads in the thread window (6 worker threads, one is .NET SystemEvents and the other is vshost.RunParkingWindow and the main thread).
When I run the app outside Visual Studio I see a total of 3 threads in Windows task manager. Why so many when I would expect 1 thread? What are the others being spawned for?
If you’re running a .NET application, I believe you always get a thread (mostly sleeping) for the JIT (Just-in-Time compiler) as well as the GC (Garbage Collection) thread, in addition to your main thread.
