Calling StartNew is functionally equivalent to creating a task by using one of its constructors, and then calling the Task.Start method to schedule the task for execution. Starting with the .NET Framework 4.5, you can use the Run method with an [System.Action] object as a quick way to call StartNew with default parameters. For more information and code examples, see Task.Run vs Task.Factory.StartNew in the Parallel Programming with .NET blog.
