    @Ketan__Patel__0011 This can NOT work, and I pretty sure this would also not build.

    You have declared future_1 and future_2 as local variable in MainWindow::StartFunctions()!

    It is an old maxim of mine that when you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. (Sherlock Holmes)

          I don't want to blame you, but what are your C/C++ skills?
          I would also not use globals but class members.

            @jsulm

            Because I want to access it anywhere in application

            that's why I am declare QFuture<void> Globally

                  @Ketan__Patel__0011 Why do you need access to these variables everywhere in your program?
                  Make these variables members of the class and if other parts of the application REALLY need access to them implement getter methods returning pointers to these variables...

                      @Ketan__Patel__0011 Do you mean you changed MainWindow::StartFunctions() ? Because in the code you posted before both variables were local variables.

                                What do you mean with "not working"?
                                As far as I can see from your code, on Function_1() start, you should see "START:_Function_1" on debug output and "START:_Function_2" on Function_2() start.

                                Do you have any of those message on debug console?

                                    And when you invert the lines in StartFunctions() to start Function_2() before Function_1()?

                                      Take from QConcurrent::run() documentation:

                                      Note that function may not run immediately; function will only be run once a thread becomes available.

                                      I would suggest you to use a dedicated thread pool to ensure to functions would be started in parallel.
                                      Add a QThreadPool member to your MainWindow class and ensure it has enough threads for you parallel works:

                                         pool.setMaxThreadCount(2);
                                      

                                      And change your code:

                                      void MainWindow::StartFunctions()
                                      {
                                          future_1 = QtConcurrent::run(&pool, this, &MainWindow::Function_1); 
                                          future_2 = QtConcurrent::run(&pool, this, &MainWindow::Function_2); 
                                      }
                                      

                                      Another improvement would be to check function is not already running:

                                      void MainWindow::StartFunctions()
                                      {
                                          if(!future_1.isRunning())
                                              future_1 = QtConcurrent::run(&pool, this, &MainWindow::Function_1); 
                                          if(!future_2 .isRunning())
                                              future_2 = QtConcurrent::run(&pool, this, &MainWindow::Function_2); 
                                      }

                                          It's interesting. If that is indeed needed (I don't doubt it is), https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qthreadpool.html#maxThreadCount-prop :

                                          The default maxThreadCount is QThread::idealThreadCount().

                                          https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qthread.html#idealThreadCount :

                                          Returns the ideal number of threads that can be run on the system. This is done querying the number of processor cores, both real and logical, in the system. This function returns 1 if the number of processor cores could not be detected.

                                          OOI, how many cores do you actually have? What OS are you?
