not move further.

@Rudresh So, is the app crashing at that point? Or what exactly does "stop" mean?

@jsulm
Hi
Thanks. It does not proceed further. I try to continue ( F5 ) to no avail.

@Rudresh Again: is it a crash? What does stack trace tell you?

[Rudresh]

@jsulm

Hi ,
Thanks. It shows ntdll apis.

I have also tried to have a sample project. It behaves the same way.

@Rudresh Did you notice that QtCreator is telling you that your Kit has no debugger configured?
And did you actually check the stack trace on the right side ("Threads:")?

[Rudresh]

@jsulm said in Qt creator debugger stops at LdrInitShimEngineDynamic:

tack trace on the right side ("Threads:")?

Hi ,

Thanks.
I specified debugger in kit settings.
Threads show only ntdll as shown in png.

I had the same problem.
Try these steps:

1. Delete the %APPDATA%/QtProject folder. You may want to make a backup copy first, as all your QtCreator settings will be reset.
2. If step 1 does not help, try reinstalling the MSVC compiler and CDB debugger (installed separately using Debugging Tools for Windows).
   I didn’t look into the problem in more detail, it seems like something happened to the debugger configuration.
