SUMMARY On Windows, I cannot load a clip in a project. Either by copying/pasting in the « Source » area, or clicking the « Add a clip » icon. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Launch kdenlive 2. drag a file from an explorer window to the « Source » area and drop it. OBSERVED RESULT An alert window complains about the incompatibility of the file and tells that it's going to be removed. No clip is therefore loaded. EXPECTED RESULT The clip is loaded.

This is a problem either with the "kdenliverc" file or you have some missmatch in your "local" folder. Plesae following the steps here: https://userbase.kde.org/Kdenlive/Manual/Windows_Issues#Any_critical_bug or under "Qt rendering crash"
You're right, deleting two kdenlive folders and reinstalling, as stated on the page you pointed out, worked for me. I have previously found this page but failed to understand that it applied to my case. It is nonetheless surprising to have to install twice the software to have it working, as the problem arose immediately after the very first install on my computer. Anyway, thanks for the help.
Glad to hear it works. Thank you for the feedback. I updated the manual to be a bit more precise. I close this bug. If it still appears in the latest version, please feel free to re-open it and update the affected version number.
