Debug crashed processes on Windows

You can launch the debugger in the post-mortem debugger operating mode if an application crashes on Windows. Select Debug in Qt Creator in the error message from the Windows operating system.

You can use the post-mortem debugger only on Windows, and you must first install the debugging tools for Windows.

To register Qt Creator as a post-mortem debugger, go to Preferences > Debugger > General, and then select Use Qt Creator for post-mortem debugging.

General tab in Debugger preferences
