Windows Threads

Windows threads are the smallest units of processing within a program, allowing multiple tasks to run simultaneously. Think of a thread as a worker multitasking within a larger project (the application). For example, one thread might handle user input while another manages data processing. This enables programs to be more efficient and responsive. Multiple threads share resources like memory, making it easier for tasks to coordinate. Overall, threads help Windows run complex, multitasking applications smoothly by allowing different parts of a program to work at the same time without waiting for each other to finish.
