    Been fighting this for days, and felt it had to be something I was doing because I new to the tool.

    Tonight I simply started the designer and left for dinner, and by the time I got back it had crashed again, with no interaction other than starting it.

    My system is a Dell Alienware Aurora Ryzen Edition, with AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-Core Processor, 3401 Mhz, 16 Core(s), 32 Logical Processor(s) and 64 GB ram installed. Display is through NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090. Nothing is overclocked. I am a retired software developer, and use my machine typically 12 hours per day, and in everything else I do it is exceptionally stable.

    I am running Qt Widgets Designer 6.8.0 and find it to be extremely unstable, as it consistently crashes a few minutes after starting it. I checked with support to see if they were interested in the information I have about this, but because I am using the community license they told me the only option I have is to post to these forums. I really have no clue what may be wrong here, environmentally or what ever, but being new to Qt I seriously need some help from someone with experience to point me to a diagnosis path.

    TIA - for any insights or suggestions.

    This is a typical application event log sequence I see:
