A thread as associated with a process context, and cannot exist after the
process has terminated. If you need a thread running longer than the life
of your application, then create that thread in the context of the SYSTEM
process.

the kernel
Once again. I DO NEED this thread after the application exits. I’ve just
stolen the context of the application and then don’t need this application
anymore. A user works with the application not knowing about the spy kernel
thread. Non-MFC applications doesn’t react on that fact that there are
additional threads appear. But MFC applications want to control all the
threads of the process, they don’t react on the kernel threads while working
but they cause access violation when exiting.

If the thread is in the context of your application, when your application
goes away, so does your thread. Because you are not properly synchronizing
the removal of the thread, you are experiencing the problem you are seeing.
I have doen this myself. You need to terminate the thread when the
application terminates (in IRP_MJ_CLOSE or an IOCTL send by the application)
and re-cresate it in the process you need when you need it againt. Sorry to
dissapoint you.
This has been my experience.
