Is there a way to prevent Visual Studio from printing Thread started and finished statements into the Output Window?

Question

I have a lot of

Thread started: <Thread Pool> #49
Thread finished: <Thread Pool> #49

in the console and it's hard to use the console when I want to print something for debug. Is there anyway to remove these statements from the Output Window?

My question is really similar to this one. The solution works to remove the exited statements, but it doesn't remove the started and finished statements

EDIT It is only occurring with a Xamarin iOS project

Although not a real solution, this is how I managed to organize my Output window:

Go to Tools > Options > Extensions and Updates and look for an extension called VSColorOutput by Mike Ward.

You might want to fine-tune the colors to your taste and add additional Regex filter criterias.

This is how it looks on my end. I colored the Xamarin noise in a dark gray and my own messages in green. Makes it way easier to scan the Output window for important stuff.
