The problem with the launch of UWP apps
-
I have installed Qt 5.11.1 using the online installer, and Visual Studio 2017 Community. And I have Windows 10 1803.
For example, I create a basic application Qt Quick Application - Swipe without changing anything in it.
When I run it through the kit Desktop Qt 5.11.1 MSVC2017 64 bit, everything runs well.
When I run it through the kit Qt 5.11.1 for UWP 64bit (MSVC 2017), then the run is interrupted by the execution of windeployqt.exe:

Can you check, whether there is windeployqt in your Qt installation's folder (does D:\Qt\5.11.1\winrt_x64_msvc2017\bin\windeployqt.exe exist)?
Also can you create a bug report on bugreports.qt.io? "Proper" bug reports are preferred over forum posts as they can be tracked easier and do not get lost.

On a virtual machine with a clean Windows 10 installed Visual Studio Community 2017 and Qt according to the scheme described in the bug. If the Qt interface language is set as the system language, the WinRT program is compiled. If you select any other interface language, the application does not compile. However, after a while, the application stops compiling anyway.
