Creating a Qt project using MinGW displays the reading project all the time.

[honglixie]

I am using Qt for the first time and the following is my project creation process

When I use MinGW (I have tried all the versions I have downloaded), the reading project will not stop at all, as shown

While I used Process_Monitor analysis to find that Qt Creator is constantly creating and deleting pro files.

When I use MSVC, I can successfully create the project, as shown below.

What is "the reading project"?

If you look at the screenshot two up from the bottom, where the OP says

you see a constant stream of CreateFile/QueryNetworkOpenInformationFile/CloseFile on untitled.pro calls being executed. The OP also states this happens when Creator uses MinGW but not MSVC. I have no idea why this might be, nor even what QueryNetworkOpenInformationFile is all about.

Hi, I think I've seen similar loops when using Qt 5 and Qt 6 on the same QMake project (i.e. either Qt 5 works or Qt 6 works). Try removing those Qt 5.15.2 MinGW versions.

I tried it, but it was of no use

Maybe also try: remove all .pro.user files.
Remove all build directories.
And start a brand new project with only the MinGW Qt 6.6.3 build favor.

If you try to build one of Qt's example projects like Calculator Example using MinGW Qt 6.6.3, do you still get the same error?
