    I use QWebSocket(client) in my application. It works fine for me on Windows 10, but for people with Windows 7 it doesn't. Is this the known issue?

    Qt 5.7.1

      Hi
      Not that i have seen but can also be related
      to what version of browser you are using.
      Also windows 7 should have all service packs installed.

      There is no error shown like UnfinishedSocketOperationErr
      or any other hint in what way "its not working" ?

      You can search https://bugreports.qt.io too see if such issue was reported.

      If possible, also try build it with 5.9. It might just be a bug that was fixed later.

        @mrjj Is the version of browser relevant? Does the code of QWebSocket make any use of system's browser? I just use sockets in my widgets app, doesn't it just use ws2_32/WinSock functions internally? I couldn't find any bug on bugreports.

          I just saw posts on SO suggesting upgrading browser help.
          That was on a 2008 server but if it was directly related to the browser, it was
          unclear.

          Would you say this sample resembles your use ?

            @mrjj I would have to compile it and send to a friend who's on windows 7. I will let you know if upgrading the browser works and if the sample works.

              Ok super. if sample is close to your use i
              was contemplating to try on my win 7 virtual machine to see.

              Also as a note, you can download win 7 and run it a virtual machine
              to test. there is a 30 days grace period before it goes belly up.
