I think your best bet would be to install a debug build of tvservice where you get all the .pdb files (the debug symbols).
This would give you better debugging capabilities.

install VS express on ur rig.
then once it cocks up, then launch VS.

in the debug menu, click "attach to process".
attach to: automatic: native code
show processes from all users.

then locate "tvservice.exe".
then click attach.

if it attached ok, then we can proceed to the next step.

hit the pause button (or hit : ctrl+alt+break)

now in the debug menu, enter windows submenu.
in there select "threads".

now you should see a complete list of running threads and where they are.
if you have proper pdb files u can now click on any of those threads and evaluate what they are doing.
some threads are native and do not have source code available while some are managed threads spawned from tvservice.
like the scheduler thread, which could be interesting.

you can copy the stacktrace to clipboard, ctrl-c.
the interesting part is where the current program cursor is located, where the code is stock at.
this could be valuable info.

regarding pdb/debug build

you or someone willing should be able to retrieve the sourcecode from a git branch that matches that version you are running and then DEBUG compile it from there.
