      I have just installed Qt 5.9.8 msvc 2015 64bit for Windows 7 Professional. qtcreator won't launch. There is an "QC" icon at the bottom but won't expand after clicking on it.
      Tried the following tricks based on different suggestions:

      1. Tried to reinstall Qt and tried a Standalone Qt Creator installation, won't work.
      2. Tried command line: qtcreator -noload Welcome, won't work.
      3. No "QtCreator.ini.lock" in the computer.
      4. Hard disk has 45 GB free space.

      Any other comments?

      Thanks!

        @wmao1 maybe its offscreen ?

        Have you tried moving it around with WindowsKey + ArrowKeys ?

            @J.Hilk Only showing on the Task bar. No response when clicking it. Tab+Alt won't display it.

                @jsulm @hskoglund I am not allowed to disable the anti-virus software, which is managed by security administrator. :(
                One of my colleagues installed Qt and his qtcreator has no problem with the same anti-virus software.

                  @wmao1 In that case I suggest that your administrator takes a look.
                  Tell him that QtCreator doesn't work on your machine. It could be something with your machine (not saying it's not a QtCreator issue).

                    @wmao1 Have you tried to start QtCreator with parameter -noload all -load Core?

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

                        Solved. It is hiding at the corner of the task bar.
