When using ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem with a method that throws an exception, the entire application crashes and exits unexpectedly. This behavior is not documented and can lead to unintended application terminations.

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;

namespace WebApplic.Controllers
{
    [ApiController]
    [Route("[controller]")]
    public class WeatherForecastController : ControllerBase
    {
        private static readonly string[] Summaries = new[]
        {
            "Freezing", "Bracing", "Chilly", "Cool", "Mild", "Warm", "Balmy", "Hot", "Sweltering", "Scorching"
        };

        private readonly ILogger<WeatherForecastController> _logger;

        public WeatherForecastController(ILogger<WeatherForecastController> logger)
        {
            _logger = logger;
        }

        [HttpGet(Name = "GetWeatherForecast")]
        public IEnumerable<WeatherForecast> Get()
        {
            ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(_ =>
            {
                throw new Exception("An error occurred.");
            });
            return Enumerable.Range(1, 5).Select(index => new WeatherForecast
            {
                Date = DateOnly.FromDateTime(DateTime.Now.AddDays(index)),
                TemperatureC = Random.Shared.Next(-20, 55),
                Summary = Summaries[Random.Shared.Next(Summaries.Length)]
            })
            .ToArray();
        }
    }
}

Expected behavior
The exception should be caught and handled appropriately, or at the very least, the documentation should clearly state that unhandled exceptions in ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem will cause the application to crash.

Screenshots
N/A

Additional context
This issue can lead to unexpected application crashes and loss of data. It is important to either handle the exception within the QueueUserWorkItem method or ensure that the documentation clearly states this behavior to prevent such issues.

Environment:

• OS: [e.g., Windows 11]
• .NET version: [e.g., .NET 8.0]
• IDE: [e.g., Visual Studio 2022]

Please update the documentation to reflect this behavior or provide a solution to handle exceptions in ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem without crashing the application.

Thank you.

            Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");
            Console.ReadLine();

}

Maybe should recommand developer use Task.Run
