| * On Windows 7, loading a .NET Core C++/CLI assembly when the entry application is native may exhibit failing behavior. This failing behavior is due to the Windows 7 loader not respecting non-`mscoree.dll` entry points for C++/CLI assemblies. The recommended course of action is to convert the entry application to managed code. Scenarios involving Thread Local Storage (TLS) are specifically unsupported in all cases on Windows 7. | |||
| * C++/CLI assemblies may be loaded multiple times, each time into a new `AssemblyLoadContext`. If the first time that managed code in a C++/CLI assembly is executed is from a native caller, the assembly is loaded into a separate `AssemblyLoadContext`. If the first time that managed code is executed is from a managed caller, the assembly is loaded into the same `AssemblyLoadContext` as the caller (usually the default). To always load your C++/CLI assembly into the default `AssemblyLoadContext`, add an "initialize" style call from your entry-point assembly to your C++/CLI assembly. For more information, see this [dotnet/runtime issue](https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/61105). | |||

Should we xref the AssemblyLoadContext API doc?
