The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1

The Windows NT Performance Monitor may show that the system is running without any active applications, but is still using between 70 and 140 threads.

The majority of these threads are system threads; the exact number in use depends on your system options. For example, you have approximately 16 additional threads if you have active LAN Manager server and workstation services.
