Start your application with the QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS environment variable set to 1. It will log what happens with the plugin.

@SGaist Thank you! Already done that!
@Deathcomes said in Could not find the Qt platform plugin "windows":
It prints this
QFactoryLoader::QFactoryLoader() checking directory path "MY_PROJECT_PATH/release/platforms" ...Is there a way to change this? It should by default be "C:\Qt\5.12.1\mingw73_64\plugins" right?
Is there a way to config this path? It should already be fine (tried it on other projects and it works ok (only difference is qt version)) but it seems not.

@Bonnie I always leave that folder as it so that i don't "break" something. I will check it although!

@Bonnie I checked it and the same thing happens.

Hi, if you try run another Qt project from inside Qt Creator, like one of Qt's examples, do you get the same error?
@hskoglund Theoretically no because i have another project (although with Qt5.2.1) which compiles and runs (from inside Qt) perfectly.
Should i try to test with a new project with 5.12.1? -
@hskoglund Same thing happens with a new one.

Do you have other versions of Qt installed on your system ? For example by other applications ?

I meant: check your system for other Qt version that may have been installed along any of your applications.

@SGaist Ow! Sorry! How do i check that?

@SGaist I searched but i didn't find any.

Should i reinstall Qt 5.12.1 to possibly correct the problem?
-
You can try that yes.
-
@SGaist In what order should i install them in case the order is important? I repeat that i need Qt 5.2.1 and Qt 5.12.1.

Reinstalling seems to have fixed the problem! Heck if i knew what was wrong! Can someone mark this issue as solved?
EDIT: Sorry! I found out how to mark my thread as solved! Thanks again for the help!
