What is the difference between a CLR Worker Thread and a Worker Thread?


Concurrency Visualizer is a pretty new but really cool! feature so there are a bit (I believe yet) of information regarding it, below what I've found in official information sources like MSDN:

  • Worker thread - A thread that was created by the application main thread (Main Thread entry in the table)
  • CLR Worker Thread - A worker thread that was created by the Common Language Runtime
