The question is not clear and you should add more detail. However "I dont want to wait" makes no sense. How else will you synchronise threads?

WaitForSingleObject() it keeps waiting main thread , which i don't want.

If you only want to know if a Windows thread has terminated or not, use the GetExitCodeThread function (Windows)[^].

If you want to inform other threads that this one has terminated you can raise an event that is checked by other threads.

But this is not useful with the main (GUI) thread. To inform the main thread, you can use PostMessage with a user-defined message. The message can be send to any window by it's handle (e.g. the main window of an application).
