Research direction

Locate the CreateThread declaration in the project and inspect the dwStackSize parameter against the native SIZE_T type mentioned in the issue. Update the declaration to use LongPtr, then build and run the multithreading demo to confirm it remains unaffected.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

This should be a LongPtr (from native SIZE_T), not Long.

Fortunately it does not impact the demo; so a fix is lowish priority.
