QtCreator system crash when clicking or dragging specific widgets
-
I'm having a frustrating issue with QtCreator 4.14.2 where my entire system crashes when dragging or double-clicking any of the item views or modal widgets. All other widgets work fine, just not the item views or modal widgets (screenshot). To clarify, I don't have to add the widgets to my form for the system to crash; just initiating a click or drag in the editor is enough. The only way to get my system to work again is by pressing the physical reset button to force a restart.
So far, I've tried:
- An empty Qt project
- Reinstalling QtCreator (I tried Qt5, Qt6, and the latest LTS release)
- Installing a fresh copy of Windows 10
I have no idea what's going on, and QtCreator is essentially unusable for me because of this issue, so any help is appreciated!

Did you try with a previous version ? There might be an issue there.
-
Hi,
Did you try the latest beta of the next release of Qt Creator ?
-
@SGaist I couldn't find any beta release in the installer, but I found an RC release so I tried that, but the problem remains. This is what I selected in the installer.
-
My bad, the RC is correct. I thought it was still in the beta stage.
You might be able to get more data if you start Qt Creator through a debugger.

@SGaist I have barely any experience with debugging, so I’m not sure if I’m doing it right, but the system still crashes when attaching a debugger (WinDbg), so I’m not able to get any information from it.
-
What are your system specifications ?
-
@SGaist I'm running an Intel Core i7-4790K, a GeForce GTX 970, and 16 GBs of RAM. Here's a complete list if needed.

Which version of the NVIDIA drivers ?
-
@SGaist My NVIDIA driver version is 466.27.
-
Did you try with a previous version ? There might be an issue there.
-
@SGaist Yep, it seems like the driver was the issue. Every release prior to version 456.71 works as expected. I guess I’ll have to stick to the older versions until it’s fixed? Thank you so much for the help!
