On Windows QtCreator, the Wait Cursor appears every 10 seconds.

Pellyware

Every 9-10 seconds, the Windows blue ring wait cursor spins for about 3 seconds. I've tried reinstalling QtCreator and everything, but it's still happening. It's made the IDE unusable and preventing me from working. It doesn't happen in any other program. It's been randomly happening for about 5 months now.

Nothing in the thread I've referenced has worked. Please help!

OS: Windows 11
QtCreator Version: 15.0.0, revision 3ac6a5956d

Try disabling the code completion for Qt Creator, something like clang or clangd. You will have to hunt through all the settings/options, I cannot recall where it is (and am not running it now). You want to get the stage where Creator does not make any suggestions/comments on your code, or at least is not using the default clang to do that. Does that make the problem go away? Or, for example, if you have Creator running but no project/files at all open/loaded inside it, does it still happen?
