    Hi,

    I have a problem, that code :

    @QDesktopServices::openUrl(QUrl("https://developer.echonest.com/account/register"));@

    Worked fine until now but today no page is opened and I have that message in the console of Qt Creator:

    @ShellExecute 'https://developer.echonest.com/account/register' failed (error 5).@

    Any help please.

        This hardly seems Qt related problem. Win 10 is a preview, so expect occasional problems. Maybe an update installed recently?

        "error 5" means insufficient access rights if that gives you any hints. Maybe some new security policy preventing you from opening web pages like that? Does this happen when you run your app as admin too?
