    Hello everyone,

    I decided to ask my question here today because i have some problems with my QtCreator.

    I tried the one that comes with the 5.14.2 and 5.15.2 and i have the same issue.

    The problem is that QtCreator Works well on first launch only.
    If I closed it and launch again it stuck at updating documentation and i need to reboot the computer in order to close it (no other way to close i tried everything).

    I work on a windows 10 laptop working under a company security setup. I think that the problem is due to my user folder being crypted.

    So on first start QtCreator can create his settings folder in "%SystemDrive%\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\QtProject"
    But could not reload it afterward due to encryption (this is my assumption, it could be wrong).

    My question, is there any way to relocate this settings folder to a non encrypted area ? I think this is the first thing i should try.

    Thanks in advance for your answer and sorry if my english isn't perfect but i'm french.

    Jacques

      Dear @Jacques_NM18, welcome!

      Indeed you can change the location of the settings by running Creator with the command line option -settingspath xxx.

      So for testing, you can just create a shortcut with that option pointing to another (empty) directory and see if that helps.

      Best regards

        Hello @aha_1980,

        Thanks for your very quick answer.

        What you give did exactly what i wanted.

        Unfortunately it seems like i was wrong... Even with settings in a folder doesn't covered by encryption or save utilities i could not relaunch the Creator.

        I will take contact with my IT support to try it with the Anti-Virus disable. Maybe it could be him who causes my problem.

          Hi @Jacques_NM18,

          yes, disabling AV might help. Maybe you can get an exception for the folder where the settings are stored.

          Otherwise I'm running out of ideas...

          Regards
