      So I got it to deploy the dlls (Qt5Core.dll ...) to a subfolder with
      --libdir $(TargetDir)\qt\libs
      And added that path to the qt.conf file.
      It works fine in visual studio, but when I run the exe itself it still misses those dlls

        Did you check your qt.conf file ?

          of course.

          Windows seems to look for those dlls at execution.

          This means I did nothing wrong, but I think it's just not possible without adding those dlls to PATH similar on windows side.

            Can you show your folder layout and qt.conf file content ?

              This is the not working layout.
              Moving the contents of libs back to the appdir and removing the Libraries entry from the .conf and windeployqt works fine.

              [Paths]
              Prefix = qt/
              Plugins = plugins
              Libraries = libs

                Are you using windeployqt with all options to set the paths you want to use ?

                  --libdir $(TargetDir)\qt\libs --plugindir $(TargetDir)\qt\plugins

                  the deploy works fine.
                  also plugins are found.
                  but windows can't find the other dlls.

                  I guess it's simply not possible or Qt/Windows isn't supporting this yet

                    What if you use lib in place of libs ?

                      I can't imagine that would make any difference. I redefine the folder to libs, so lib should be irrelevant. Also I am 100% sure I tried that anyway.
