    I should have posted this to begin with:

    Qt Creator 4.5.0
    Ubuntu 16.04

    I don't think its a write access issue the files all show writable. The problem just started this morning. I installed Qt 2 days ago and for the last two days it seemed just fine. Worked beautifully. However this morning I stared Qt and had to point it to my project.

    I do get an error message that may help:

    "No .user settings file created by this instance of Qt Creator was found. Did you work with this project on another machine or using a different settings path before?" - No

    "Do you still want to load the settings file '<path to my .user file>'?" - Yes

    Though selecting "Yes" doesn't seem to actually load my settings file (or the correct Project for that matter).

        Upgrade it? No its this not the latest version? I used the website and the online installer. Is there an updated version of Qt Creator beyond 4.5.0?

              no, 4.5.0 is the latest.
              I was rather asking if you upgraded to version 4.5.0 and created your projects with a different version of QtCreator.

                No I am evaluating Qt right now so everything I have is new as of 2 days ago. No other versions of Qt are installed or have been installed on this machine.

                  anyways, the error No .user settings file created by this instance of Qt Creator was found.
                  suggests differently.

                  What are the contents of the first few lines of your project's .pro.user file.

                  The .pro.user file should begin with something like:

                  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
                  <!DOCTYPE QtCreatorProject>
                  <!-- Written by QtCreator 4.5.0, 2018-01-26T09:52:02. -->
                  <qtcreator>
                   <data>
                    <variable>EnvironmentId</variable>

                      Update*

                      I have uninstalled, reinstalled, and am still seeing the same problems. Does the maintenance tool not completely remove the program?

                        So it turns out the problem files were located in the ~/.config directory. I deleted everything Qt related in that directory, did a clean reinstall and the problem vanished.
