I cannot with certainty tell you why it does that, but there are three
things in that code which I think must be changed.


The program's instance is not given in this call

> hWnd=CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,
>     szAppName, "Test Window",
>     WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW | WS_VISIBLE,
>     CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, 500, 500,
>     NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL );

Change the call to this

  hWnd=CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,
      szAppName, "Test Window",
      WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW | WS_VISIBLE,
      CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, 500, 500,
      NULL, NULL, _hInstance, NULL );

_hInstance contains the instance handle for your program and is a
variable created by the startup code.  Add this line following the
includes to declare it for the program:

  extern HINSTANCE _hInstance;


You have a case for WM_DESTROY but no case for WM_CLOSE.  Add a
WM_CLOSE case and either let it fall through to the WM_DESTROY case or
have it call PostMessage to post a WM_DESTROY to the window.


The code uses CreateThread.  It should use one of _beginthread or
_beginthreadNT and not CreateThread so that TLS is properly
initialized.  Read the help on _beginthread for more details of why it
should be used instead of CreateThread.
