You can use a performance counter for this purpose.

You can view the context switch data in two ways:

  • System \ Context Switches / Seconds Count in System Monitor reports general context switches.
  • Topic (_Total) \ Context Switches / sec counter reports the total number of context switches generated per second by all threads.
