      Can you click on the Auto-detected kit? http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-targets.html

                  If Qt Creator does not show auto detected debugger then most likely u don't have debugger.
                  U can manually add debugger if u have installed.
                  Else u need to install windows debugger.

                    You want the "Developer's tools" (where cdb is) and probably the SDK (for headers and libraries).

                        There's a separate package, which I believe is called "Window's developer tools", that is not included in Visual Studio. The console debugger (cdb, which you want) is packaged there.

                            Okay, that's good. It's been some time since I've set up a windows environment, but bear with me. As far as I can remember when you start that installer you have to choose components. When you do, make sure you've selected the console debugger to be installed. After you've installed it someplace, then you can just point Creator to it - that is create a debugger entry on the respective page in the creator configuration and then select it from the dropdown list in the kit configuration page.

                                      Take a look here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/debugger/

                                      After you've made sure you have installed the console debugger, add an entry in the debuggers in Creator and select the path to it. Then you can add it to the kit.

                                        in my case i had to update the readline-7.0.XXX to readline-8.0.000 and it worked. just try gdb -v see if it works.

                                          @ferdna how does that relate to Windows and CDB?

                                          Qt has to stay free or it will die.
