      Hi,

      Which version of Qt Creator are you using ?

      Do you have any antivirus installed ? Some of them are pretty trigger sensitive for everything related to programmation.

          @Ahti Try to start QtCreator with "-noload Welcome" parameter. If it starts then, then permanently disable Welcome plug-in under "Help/About Plugins...".

            What kind of graphic cards do you have ?

            Did you update its drivers recently ?

                  @Ahti Open a cmd.exe window and type: PATH_TO_QTCREATOR -noload Welcome"
                  Usually: c:\qt\Tools\QtCreator\bin\qtcreator.exe -noload Welcome

                    @Ahti It runs in safe mode because in safe mode only most basic drivers are loaded, so your graphics driver is not used.

                      @jsulm nothing is happens if i write "qtcreator.exe -noload Welcome" but if i write "qtcreator.exe -noload welcome" ( that is 'w' is changed from capital to small in the second statement ) it first shows following error message :
                      0_1472543002065_qt error message.JPG

                      and then the following dialog box is opened :

                                    @Ahti There is no such plug-in "welcome", the correct name is "Welcome". So, what exactly happens if you start QtCreator with -noload Welcome? Does it start and crash as before?

                                      @Ahti There is no such plug-in "welcome", the correct name is "Welcome". So, what exactly happens if you start QtCreator with -noload Welcome? Does it start and crash as before?

                                      @jsulm "qtcreator.exe -noload Welcome" also does nothing it doesn't open qt.

                                      what is a signature ?? Lol

                                        Hi, try with a bigger hammer:
                                        qtcreator.exe -noload all -load Core

                                          Navigate for directory %appdata%
                                          Drop directory QtProject
