SmartScreen flagged the installer, but more importantly 1.9.6 crashes on start with the following being recorded in the event logs: Faulting application name: kdiff3.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x62ba2817 Faulting module name: Qt5Core.dll, version: 5.15.2.0, time stamp: 0x61841ffd Exception code: 0xc0000409 Fault offset: 0x00000000000205b8 Faulting process id: 0x57c4 Faulting application start time: 0x01d8cd9b43f9b3a4 Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\KDiff3\bin\kdiff3.exe Faulting module path: C:\Program Files\KDiff3\bin\Qt5Core.dll Report Id: 003676c4-7e46-4462-95a9-9a6d8b6df20a Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID: SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 10 Pro 21H1 (Build 19043.2006) Reverted to 1.9.5 which is working fine. Let me know if/how I can assist in diagnosing.
Interesting what is the md5 for that 1.9.6 installer should be fc73998a08d55234f9e79d90261bd0eb?

Unfortunately I didn't keep the 1.9.6 installer that I had downloaded originally, but unless it was updated on the KDE download site (judging by the last modified date there, it wasn't) I think it's unlikely I had a different/corrupt installer. I just installed 1.9.6 again having re-downloaded and verified the MD5 of the installer. Now: - The installer is no longer flagged by SmartScreen (having recently experienced something similar with the installer of another application, this could just mean that a false positive has been corrected by Microsoft). - The app still crashes on start as before.
Thanks. Just wanted to be sure. I had a feeling the smart filter flag was a false positive. Nice to see it was corrected so quickly. Going need someone with more windows experience to trouble shoot this further.
Hi, I also unable to start Kdiff3 v1.9.6 in windows 10. I've installed it with command: winget install -e --id KDE.KDiff3 In "Event Viewer" i see such log: Faulting application name: kdiff3.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x62ba2817 Faulting module name: Qt5Core.dll, version: 5.15.2.0, time stamp: 0x621e8a1b Exception code: 0xc0000409 Fault offset: 0x00000000000205a8 Faulting process id: 0xb3ac Faulting application start time: 0x01d8f550612390dd Faulting application path: C:\Users\nrogalskiy\AppData\Local\KDiff3\bin\kdiff3.exe Faulting module path: C:\Users\nrogalskiy\AppData\Local\KDiff3\bin\Qt5Core.dll Report Id: 2c2415cd-091a-4d28-a3c0-487ca677e9f3 Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID: OS Version: Windows 10 Pro 22H2 (Build 19045.2251) --- As workaround I've downgraded to previous version with command winget install -e --id KDE.KDiff3 -v 1.9.5 v 1.9.5 is working fine
Can someone who is able to reproduce this get an actual stack trace. Just knowing that it's crashing somewhere in qt4Core isn't perticular helpful. It could be anything.

closing for now as its been a long time since this was reported.
Sorry, never found the time to look into this further. 1.11.0 is running without any issues for me under Windows 11.
