      @Axel-Spoerl

      so I found this in the maintenance tool:
      9e75b228-abf1-4752-820b-f2b134ba8b3c-image.png

      can you please explain it to me? Do I need to use MS visual studio if i want to use the webengine module on windows? and it won't work in Qt creator on windows?

        @Aronox Yes, you need Microsoft compiler for Chromium.

          @jsulm thank you for your response.

          So can I use qmake in Visual Studio? or do i need to switch to cmake?

            You don't have to use Visual Studio at all. In fact you do not even have to install it - MS Build Tools is enough. QtCreator will detect MS compiler if you install either Visual Studio or Build Tools.

                Well, you also have to install Qt for Microsoft compiler

                    Yes

                    "but I have 6.7 installed not 6.7.1" - why not upgrade to 6.7.1? But you should also have MSVC for 6.7.0.

                      @jsulm one more thing:

                      be6da246-0cf6-41ad-84ee-732917f27643-image.png

                      this is a screenshot of Qt installed on my friend's windows 11 machine. He has the module which is 6.5GB. Does it mean that for me, I cannot have the module with windows 10 but on windows 11 it is possible? my main problem is that webengine module is 0 bytes on my windows 10 machine.

                      again thank you very much, you don't know how long I have been trying to fix this.

                        @jsulm unfortunately I don't have any MSVC option in the 6.7.0 version

                          I doubt it has anything to do with Windows version. If it shows 0 bytes then I guess the installation failed.

                            @jsulm I have tried deselecting (removing the component) and then reselect it after launching the maintenance tool. It stays at 0 bytes. Should I try by completely removing Qt and doing a reinstallation? And after I get the module installed, I still have to use MSVC instead of MinGW to build, right?

                              If you want to use Qt Web Engine then yes.

                              You can try to uninstall everything and install again.

                                70552db6-e8af-4a79-af49-39cc0d944bce-image.png

                                but the same program on my mac has way better reasults:

                                022f53bb-087a-4d43-b990-28166d989bde-image.png

                                so do you know anything about this? what do i need to optimize it?

                                      QWebEngine is known to be particularly slow in Debug builds. Although I understand you are only interested in the difference in speed between the two, it would be interesting to see what that is on a Release build instead.
