Actually you can get the debug symbols without rebuilding, downloading from the very new nightlty builds:
https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/Kden ... y_mingw64/
but then you must install gdb and load these symbols, and for that we have to find simple instructions...

See details in screenshot here:


EDIT: I've tried enabling/starting these services and rebooting - still no change in behaviour

I have recently migrated to an SSD - and I don't have 35GB free.... can this process be done on an external drive connected by USB?

I have never even heard of debug symbols! Do you know of any simple instructions?

My most likely path now is to forget Kdenlive on Windows, and wait until I build my new linux desktop - next month or so . But if anyone can help with the above, I'm open to trying to debug, though so far it sounds like it's only me experiencing this at the moment.

I think it should work on an USB drive. Following the steps here: https://community.kde.org/Kdenlive/Deve ... _method.29 . Let me know if you stuck.

For debugging you have to do following steps:
start Kdenlive -> get the PID number (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC -> process -> looking for Kdenlive.exe and remember the PID number)
- start Powershell
- Enter: c:\craft\craft\craftenv.ps1
- Enter: gdb (starting the debugger)
- Enter: attach 3288 (3288 = PID number)
- wait on the gdb prompt (take some time until all is loaded)
- Enter: c (for continue)
- Make the crash in Kdenlive
- After the crash, enter: bt full (for bucktrace full)
- right click on the top of the Powershell window (the blue banner/border) -> edit -> select all
- right click into Powershell (all gets copied to the clipboard)
- open and editor and paste all into it. Upload this file.
- Enter: q (quit)
- Kdenlive crashes now.

Seems complicated. It isn't ones you have done the first time.

(do you have done some changes using MSCONFIG?)

the kdenlive folder are 2 .. one on appdata/local and another on appdata/roaming... and also there are some FILES (not folders) on appdata/local
make sure to have deleted all these kdenlive related files/folders

P.S. anolder version works? (like https://files.kde.org/kdenlive/release/ ... 8.12.1.exe) (Run the installer as Adminstrator)

Thanks again, I may get to this at a later date now. I've since built my new PC dual boot with KDE Neon & Win 10, so I'm up and running again with Kdenlive.

I appreciate the help and if I do get to fixing it on the old laptop, I'll run this. Didn't know about the second folder - thanks for that too.
