rcdll.dll) from windows 10 kit or use 64-bit version of the file, i get the error:

from my experience, I would say this can happen when either QtCreator is updated or when Windows itself updates.Usually a clean reinstall of QtCreator "fixes" this, which let me believe that simply rerunning the configure?-skript of QtCreator should fix this as well. I'm however unsure what exactly QtCreator is doing to find the system includes and paths
