Hi emohr.
Yes I was using 19.04.0-2.
So I did a new fresh/clean install.
1) Uninstalled kdenlive
2) deletet folder under APPDATA local and roaming
3) Restart PC
4) Installed kdenlive 19.04.0-2
5) Restart PC
6) Tried kdenlive but it crashes again. Unfortunately I cannot start the program again after the crash now. I have to restart my pc to use it again, but the program keeps crashing. I also didn't find the programm running in the background with my taskmanager after crashing.

THis is weird.

Update: So I found a file called "kdenliverc" in my AppData/Local folder.
I deleted it and made a new install. Now everything is working!

So now I can create new Folders but I cannot add any clips (image, videos). 
Just a tiny error message "Cannot open file C:/Users/xxxx/Desktop/activate.png".

Color and Title clip are working. But nothing else.

Arg. Me again. After a restart, everything is working fine again. This is driving me crazy. :)

Load clips from the same drive as Kdenlive is installed could be a problem. Just drag/drop it into the bin instead. 

If something is blocking delete the Kdenliverc file or the cache. After you delete Kdenliverc you haven’t to re-install. Just start Kdenlive again.

It seems it works. We close this bug. If it still appears in the latest version, please feel free to re-open it and update the affected version number.
