Remarks

This function isn’t safe to call on a time-sensitive thread. For more information, see Time-sensitive threads.
By default, there is a process task queue that uses the thread pool for both work and completion ports. You can replace the default process task queue by calling XTaskQueueSetCurrentProcessTaskQueue, and you can prevent callers using the process task queue by calling XTaskQueueSetCurrentProcessTaskQueue with a null queue parameter. Use XTaskQueueCloseHandle to close handle returned from this API.
