Turn on crash reports

Qt Creator uses Google Crashpad to collect information about crashes and to send it to the Qt backend for processing. Crashpad might capture arbitrary contents from the memory of the crashed process, including user-sensitive information, URLs, and other content users have trusted Qt Creator with. However, the crash reports are used for the sole purpose of fixing software errors.

To turn on crash reports:

  1. Go to Preferences > Environment > System.

    {System preferences}

  2. Select Enable crash reporting.

To free up disk space that crash reports reserve on the computer, select Clear Local Crash Reports. You can see the size of the crash reports next to the button.

Select ? to view more information about Crashpad and the security policy.
