Please provide the following information

qBittorrent version and Operating System:

3.34, 3.35, 3.16-32/64 bit ; windows 10 64bit

What is the problem:

No GUI , only process on task manager.
I tried reinstalled the mentioned version but none helps.

What is the expected behavior:

Show GUI, wether it’s right after installation, launch from exe, or click a .torrent file.

Steps to reproduce:

On my system, just install the setup file.

Are you sure it’s not minimized to tray?

jeeyi345 commented Sep 20, 2017

@thalieht Yes, there’s no qbtorrent in the tray.

thalieht commented Sep 20, 2017

Before starting qbitorrent, make sure that the qbitorrent.exe process is not running.

jeeyi345 commented Sep 20, 2017

@thalieht
Thanks for reply, I’ve checked if there’s qbitorrent.exe process is running before starting, and it just shows in the task manager, not the GUI.
I backup the preferences and folders, reinstalled qbtorrent (the warning of sharing responsibility pops up) but I still can’t see the GUI.

thalieht commented Sep 20, 2017

I don’t know what else to do, i hope someone else can help you.

Can you try to run it under a debugger?

jeeyi345 commented Sep 21, 2017 •

How do I run it under a debugger?

zeule commented Sep 21, 2017

I don’t use Windows and can’t guide you, sorry. Here is the link to debugger documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/debugger/

dzmat commented Sep 21, 2017 •

I think it worth to provide us with a log file. The log file is located usually at C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\qBittorrent\logs\qbittorrent.log

Have you insured to kill windowless process found at task manager before trying to start new one? If you don’t kill him, it’s useless to start new, because new process checks for the existing one and exits.

Also you can try to move temporarily somewhere both folders:
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming
and try to start qbittorrent. Beware that it will delete list of torrents loaded into qbittorrent. If it did not help, then not a qbittorent installation is broken, but Windows itself , or a some third-party program conflicting. If it helps, you can use it «as is» or try to place back files from previously moved folders and figure out which files exactly are a cause of the problem.

dzmat commented Sep 21, 2017

And if you are an experienced programmer, you really can build debug version of qbittorrent from source using VS and run it under debugger. If you are not an experienced programmer, forget about this stuff.

jeeyi345 commented Sep 21, 2017 •

I did killed the process before I start a new one, otherwise it won’t start.

After I backup and remove the folders the log file looks normal. Looks like a fresh install:
(N) 2017-09-22T00:52:31 — qBittorrent v3.3.16 已啟動

Still doesn’t help 🙁

The original folders are attached as following:
qb.zip

dzmat commented Sep 22, 2017

According to log file 3.3.13 was working normally till 2017-09-17T08:14:36. At 2017-09-18T22:02:19 it is already broken, but version have not changed. And as folder removal did not help, problem is definitely outside of qbittorent. Remember what you had changed in your system and revert it.

LAUVz commented May 6, 2019

Same here it just instantly goes in not responding and then just closes.

LittleVulpix commented May 6, 2019

Yeah it’s broken.

infr-automation commented May 6, 2019 •

Same here x64
w10 1809 latest patch level

thalieht commented May 6, 2019

Maybe unimportant but which win 10 version? I’m still on 1803, no problems with starting 4.1.6.

christianwells11 commented May 6, 2019

LittleVulpix commented May 6, 2019

Neocridas commented May 6, 2019

Same here with me (1903)
Workaround:
run qbittorent in administrator and it works.

malinwa001 commented May 6, 2019 •

Same here, work around did’t work.

32 bit versions is working well.

LittleVulpix commented May 6, 2019

Mine already runs as admin, and well, it doesn’t run. For the time being, back to 4.1.5 which works no problem.

njscorpion commented May 6, 2019

I am using Win 10 Ent x64 build 1903.18362.86 after i updated to QBT 4.1.6 it was working for sometime but every time i had start it twice as the first time it was crashing. But now it opens for few seconds and then crashes.

Chocobo1 commented May 6, 2019 •

I suspect it is the same as #9667 (comment)
So you’ll need to edit C:\Users\ \AppData\Roaming\qBittorrent\qBittorrent.ini and change DownloadTrackerFavicon=true to DownloadTrackerFavicon=false save and restart qbt.

Note: You only need to edit the ini if you upgraded from older qbt version. If you did a clean install then no editing is required.

MoralisRubric commented May 6, 2019

Having the same issue, with win 10 (1903) x64.

@Chocobo1 suggested solution does not working for me.

Cologler commented May 6, 2019

@Chocobo1 suggested solution does not working for me too. fixes by back to 4.1.5 🙃

TiagoJSilva commented May 6, 2019

I’m having the same issue in Windows 7 x64. qBT 4.1.6 starts loading, takes the usual long time to load all my torrents, then «Application not responding» without even painting the window. Went back to 4.1.5 although the fix for checking all files at the same time was very important for me.

legithubuser commented May 6, 2019

It doesn’t even want to install on my WIndows 10 64 bit system. I get a «can’t write file.exe» error.

phucyall commented May 6, 2019

I have 2 VMs running Windows 10 on it. Both are very similar configuration and same version of windows. Both just updated to 4.1.6 x64 and both had crashes right after startup. For one of them, the fix suggested by @Chocobo1 worked perfectly. For the other one, the fix or running as administrator has not worked. I’m downgrading now. The exception from Event Viewer does not provide any useful information:

TiagoJSilva commented May 6, 2019

My issue was solved with the favicon fix in qbittorrent.ini

sledgehammer999 commented May 6, 2019

Those still having crashes can you try the following build?
Just extract and run in any folder. (or you can overwrite the installed files)

LittleVulpix commented May 6, 2019

Is there source for this build / commits? One can never be too cautious running random stuff from the internet. Thanks!

sledgehammer999 commented May 6, 2019 •

@LittleVulpix in case you didn’t know I am the admin. I make the official builds and releases.
This particular build is the exact same source as 4.1.6, but with the /guard:cf compiler/linker option disabled. (I have run into issues in the past with it).
If this doesn’t work, I’ll have to try something else.

LittleVulpix commented May 6, 2019

@sledgehammer999 I didn’t; my bad. I tried it in my test system, but the problem is the same. It also takes a very long time to init as opposed to 4.1.5 which launches in a few seconds. 4.1.6 takes about 30 seconds and then it crashes.

sledgehammer999 commented May 6, 2019

Can you try the following build? It is v4.1.5 but with all the new libs used in 4.1.6. I am trying to figure it if the problem is in the new qbt code or in the new libs.
Link: https://builds.shiki.hu/temp/qbittorrent_4.1.5_x64_for_issue_10581.7z

LittleVulpix commented May 6, 2019

That one crashes as well. Though, it just «disappears silently». I don’t get a windows «crash» message anymore. Nonetheless, it does not work.

phucyall commented May 6, 2019 •

@sledgehammer999 both the files you attached are still causing crashes on my machine. Looking at the crash report there’s nothing even remotely useful in there. If you have a debug build you want me to try I’ll be more than happy to test it.

sledgehammer999 commented May 6, 2019

Wait! You get a window of qbt with a stacktrace? If yes, can you post it?

LittleVulpix commented May 6, 2019

I think he means the windows «reliability» crash report, stuff like:

Which, as he noted, tells you nothing.

sledgehammer999 commented May 6, 2019

New build. It is v4.1.6 but with the libtorrent and boost version used in v4.1.5.
(that libtorrent version fails to build with latest boost)

LittleVulpix commented May 6, 2019

This crashes as well.

phucyall commented May 6, 2019 •

Same. And yes I meant the same crash report that @LittleVulpix posted.

theswagler commented Jul 24, 2019

JNavas2- I didn’t mean to rile anyone, just an old-school C++ programmer’s two-cents.
In your opinion, which latest version is the best?

JNavas2 commented Jul 24, 2019 •

@theswagler Sure, no offense taken, none intended.

I currently use and recommend qBittorrent 4.1.5 64-bit on Windows 8.1 Pro.

FWIW, I cut my software teeth on Autocoder (like Assembler). I can now program in well over 100 languages. I’ve taught software engineering and quality management; I’ve managed large, complex software projects; and I’ve released public Android apps.

My principal objections to assembler and C++ include lack of checking and typing. My current language recommendation would be Rust.

theswagler commented Jul 25, 2019

JNavas2- I’m a mech/arch designer that enjoys C++ as a hobby.
Here’s apps I’ve written since 2004: https://swaglertools.cf/
My flagship is Image Draw, it utilizes GDI+ to create 2D layered projects similar to Photoshop, but in a CAD environment.

bviktor commented Aug 2, 2019

To me 4.1.6 runs. for a while. After a random period of time (like half an hour) I eventually notice the qB icon is gone from the tray, and that’s it. Happens on at least 2 Win10 1903 instances. Can’t say anything about earlier versions coz I don’t have any.

sledgehammer999 commented Aug 4, 2019

The problem most probably lies with the usage of openssl 1.1.x series.
I released v4.1.7 and it uses the 1.0.x series of openssl. This should fix all your crashes.

bviktor commented Aug 4, 2019

Thanks, let’s hope it’s actually fixes now. SmartScreen doesn’t like this version btw.

theswagler commented Aug 4, 2019

openssl ? Yup, external libraries. I hope it fixes issues. I really like the bind to IP feature, and it downloads quicker than uTorrent on my sorry CenturyLink DSL service out in sticks.

xavier2k6 commented Aug 4, 2019 •

@sledgehammer999 just confirming two things.

1. no silent crashes with 4.1.7 reported in eventmanager
2. no crashes either with an alpha build of 4.2.0 [been using/testing that since I came across it in June] that glassez compiled in torrent rechecking thread. (that used openssl 1.1.1.c & qt 5.13)

quick question regarding 4.1.7 — does that address the low security issue in openssl (CVE-2019-1552)
https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv/20190730.txt

OpenSSL 1.0.2 and 1.1.0 are currently only receiving security updates.
Support for 1.0.2 will end on 31st December 2019. Support for 1.1.0
will end on 11th September 2019. Users of these versions should
upgrade to OpenSSL 1.1.1.

Настройка qBittorrent – скорость и поиск

После запуска программы разберем как настроить qBittorrent. Настройка qBittorrent не отличается особой продвинутостью, нет ничего лишнего, но возможно настроить все, что необходимо для каждого пользователя. Чтобы перейти к настройкам в меню нажмите «Инструменты» — «Настройки…», либо значок шестеренки на панели инструментов, либо сочетание клавиш Alt+O.

Основные настройки

В настройках клиента есть несколько вкладок, каждая из которых отвечает за определенные параметры:

1. поведение;
2. загрузки;
3. соединение;
4. настройка скорости;
5. bittorrent;
6. RSS;
7. веб-интерфейс;
8. дополнительные настройки.

Во вкладке «Поведение» настраиваются:

• Язык интерфейса. Здесь вы можете выбрать любой другой язык программы.
• Список торрентов.
• Интерфейс – запускать или нет клиент при старте Windows; запускать программу свернутой; показывать значок в области уведомлений; ассоциировать торрент-файлы и магнет-ссылки.
• Управление питанием – позволяет запретить системе переходить в спящий режим, когда торренты загружаются или раздаются.
• Включить/выключить файл журнала, в который записываются ошибки программы.

Следующая вкладка – настройки загрузки файлов. Основные и наиболее необходимые надстройки на данном этапе:

• Отображать содержимое торрента и некоторые настройки. Если галочка стоит, то появляется возможность выбрать определенные файлы раздачи (например, конкретную серию из раздачи сериала или определенный трек из альбома любимой группы).
• Путь сохранения фалов. Здесь вы можете выбрать удобный для вас путь, куда будут скачиваться файлы.
• Также здесь вы можете включить уведомление на почту о завершении загрузки или запустить какую-либо программу по окончанию.

Следующим пунктом настраивается «Соединение». Основные параметры настройки qBittorrent:

• Порт для входящих соединений. Вписывается порт, который в дальнейшем необходимо будет открыть в брандмауэре или пробросить в роутер. Рекомендуется выбирать в диапазоне от 50000 до 60000.
• Ограничения соединений. Следует поставить галочку напротив пункта «Максимальное число слотов отдачи на торрент». Если qBittorrent медленно качает, то необходимо уменьшить показатель «Максимальное число соединений на торрент» и увеличить «Общее ограничение числа соединений». Если ваша исходящая скорость интернета равна 3 Мбит/с, то оптимальные значения будут следующими: общее ограничение числа соединений – 700, максимальное число соединений – 40, максимальное число слотов отдачи – 15. Что делать если qBittorrent простаивает или qBittorrent не качает? Поэкспериментируйте с параметрами, оставляйте второй параметр ниже первого примерно в 10-20 раз ниже (чем больше первый, тем больше разница со вторым), а максимальное число слотов отдачи в два раза меньше числа соединений.

Как увеличить скорость qBittorrent

Во вкладке «Скорость» вы можете настроить скорость qBittorrent как загрузки, так и отдачи. Здесь вы можете настроить qBittorrent на максимальную скорость, запланировать изменение скорости в зависимости от времени суток и дня недели.

На вкладках «BitTorrent», «RSS», «Веб-интерфейс» и «Дополнительно» вы можете настроить: приватность, очередность скачиваемых торрентов, ограничения по рейтингу торрент-файла, RSS-каналы, подключить удаленное управление клиентом из любой точки мира по средствам веб-интерфейса и ряд других дополнительных общих параметров (проверка обновлений, уровень буфера, показывать уведомления и другие.

Поиск в qBittorrent

Чтобы воспользоваться функцией «Поисковик» в клиенте qBittorrent, необходимо установить поисковый плагин.

После завершения установки, необходимо перезапустить программу. После повторного запуска, нажимаем «Поисковик» и ищем необходимый файл (например, «Аватар»). Выбираем нужный файл и нажимаем кнопку «Скачать»:

Поиск в qBittorrent работает, но торрент-треккеры в данном случае малоизвестны. Для обеспечения поиска по знакомым торрент-трекерам, например таким, как torrents.ru и rutracker.org необходимо скачать и установить плагины для qBittorrent. Они легко ищутся в интернете, а установка не требует особых навыков.

После скачивания плагина на компьютер, нажимайте кнопку «Поисковые движки…», а затем кнопку «Установить новый». Далее выбирайте файл разархивированного плагина и устанавливайте его.

После установки необходимых плагинов, вы сможете искать торрент-файлы на всем известных торрент-треккерах. Правильно настроенный qBittorrent позволяет быстро и без задержек в любое время скачивать любимые фильмы, сериалы, музыку и программы.
