Qt Creator 4.9.1 does not start on Windows 10

Hi, just guessing but maybe your temp environment variables have a bad setting, to check, open a CMD window and type:
echo %TEMP% echo %TMP%@hskoglund
Should be fine.λ echo %TEMP% C:\Users\chrba\AppData\Local\Temp λ echo %TMP% C:\Users\chrba\AppData\Local\TempBut I'm guessing too, that there's some "bad settings" stored somewhere which I didn't delete yet.
Because it was working before... -
Also, what you can try: create another, new user. Switch to that user and start Qt Creator.

@hskoglund I can start Qt Creator from another user without any problems.
But what are the differences related to Qt Creator?
Environment variables? Registry entries?
Why would it work for the new user and not for my default one?@chrizbee said in Qt Creator 4.9.1 does not start on Windows 10:

Why would it work for the new user and not for my default one?Because there is probably something broken (like environment variables, registry, entries in the file system,...)

@chrizbee From the GDB log it is perfprofiler plug-in
Perfprofiler is not the problem ("only" soft assert). I disabled the plugin and retried with the same result (GDB has no soft assert anymore, but the SIGSEGV is still there).

@jsulm And given it works with 4.8, probably some new setting introduced in 4.9...
Now here comes the strange part:
I've installed Qt 5.13.0 and tried the following standalone Qt Creator installers:
4.9.2 / 4.9.1 / 4.9.0 / 4.8.2 (both 32 and 64 bit) --> Neither of those worked.So I've figured that the combination is where the problem is coming from.
Given this GDB log:Thread 1 received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x6422c807 in Qt5Core!?activate@QMetaObject@@SAXPAVQObject@@HHPAPAX@Z () from C:\Qt\Qt5.13.0\Tools\QtCreator\bin\Qt5Core.dllI still do not have a solution to my problem, just a few workarounds which are quite nasty...

Given this GDB log:
Can you go upwards the stack trace and see where this crash originates from?
Anyway, if it works in a fresh user account I'd probably rename my account, create a new one and copy over all the things I need. It's a bit of work, but still faster than reinstalling the whole system.
Just my 2ct.
Qt has to stay free or it will die.

I actually ended up reinstalling the whole system. Still, this should not happen...
