<![CDATA[After opening Qt Creator, a PowerShell window pops up repeatedly within a short period of time.]]>Hi,

After adding an SSD to my laptop and migrating some data (I'm not sure if that's what caused it), my Qt Creator keeps popping up and closing a PowerShell window shortly after startup. Based on my research, the pop-up window is running the file AppData\Local\Temp\QtCreator-ptmNeb\KqzPdz.bat (AppData\Local\Temp\QtCreator-**.bat, which changes each time it starts up).

If you need any further information, please feel free to leave a message.

Thank you for your help.

It has to do with the Qt Creator's way of checking if the Visual C++ environment has been changed.

This shouldn't trigger any pop-up, but something in your environment causes this behavior.

Following your suggestion, I used the tool to obtain the relevant logs, but unfortunately, I still don't understand what exactly happened.

In the logs, the key data “C:\Users\21421\AppData\Local\Temp\QtCreator-UTRrUJ*.bat” first appears on line 6820 and reappears on lines 7636 and 8080. I hope someone can help me figure out what happened.

Thank you very much.

This way you can capture all the Qt Creator logging, and you should be able to find out what is going on.
