{{Warning|2=Permanently Moved|1=The content of this page has been move to our new user manual: https://docs.kdenlive.org/de/troubleshooting/windows_issues.html}}  
The current '''Kdenlive''' on Windows® (July 2019, version 19.04.2-6) has a few issues that have workarounds. The purpose of this wiki page is to document these issues and their workarounds.
 
===First time use of Kdenlive=== <!--T:53-->
 
<!--T:54-->
This issue should be solved with Windows version 19.04.2-6. That <tt>kdenliverc</tt> is correct set up please start Kdenlive twice (start -> close -> start). Then start your work.
 
===Intel graphic card driver=== <!--T:55-->
 
<!--T:56-->
The newest driver version x.6890, x.6912 and x.7000 lead to a corrupted Kdenlive GUI. Please downgrade to version [https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/28731/Intel-Graphics-Windows-10-DCH-Drivers x.6709] which solves the issue.
 
===Timeline: right-click menu close immediately after releasing mouse button=== <!--T:50-->
 
<!--T:51-->
Don’t use the style <menuchoice>Fusion</menuchoice>. 
 
<!--T:52-->
Go to: <menuchoice>Settings</menuchoice> &rarr; <menuchoice>Style</menuchoice> &rarr; choose <menuchoice>Default</menuchoice> or <menuchoice>Windows</menuchoice>.
 
===Icons are missing=== <!--T:44-->
 
<!--T:45-->
Go to: <menuchoice>settings</menuchoice> &rarr; untick <menuchoice>force breeze icon theme</menuchoice>. Kdenlive restarts and you should see the icons.
 
</translate><span id="Cannot open projects made with previous version"></span><translate>
 
===Cannot open projects made with previous version, timeline snaps back, cannot import clip=== <!--T:46-->
 
<!--T:47-->
Press <keycap>Win + R</keycap> (<keycap>Windows</keycap> key and <keycap>R</keycap> key simultaneously) and type '''appdata'''. Go to <tt>local</tt> and within it rename <tt>kdenliverc</tt> to <tt>kdenliverc.old</tt>. Start Kdenlive -> do nothing -> close Kdenlive -> and restart Kdenlive again.   
 
<!--T:48-->
If you have still problems delete proxy clips and other cached data by going to <menuchoice>Project</menuchoice> menu &rarr; <menuchoice>Project Setting</menuchoice> &rarr; <menuchoice>Cache Data</menuchoice> tab &rarr; there you can delete cached data. 
 
<!--T:49-->
If you have still problems try [[Special:myLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Windows_Issues#Any_critical_bug|Any critical bug]].
 
=== Windows 10: timeline stuttering or Kdenlive hangs.  === <!--T:42-->
 
<!--T:43-->
Most probably you got a major Win10 update (i.e 1809). If so you have to update all drivers for audio and video. 
   
Intel driver can be updated with this updater: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/en/download/28425/Intel-Driver-Support-Assistant.
 
=== "Clip is invalid, will be removed" === <!--T:21-->
 
<!--T:22-->
This bug can appear if you do a clean reinstall of '''Kdenlive''' (see above). Simply close and open '''Kdenlive''' once, and it should be fixed.
 
<!--T:41-->
Additionally this can be a problem either with the <tt>kdenliverc</tt> file (see here [[Special:myLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Windows_Issues#Cannot_open_projects_made_with_previous_version|Cannot open projects]]) or you have some mismatch in the "local" folder (see here [[Special:myLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Windows_Issues#Any_critical_bug|Any critical bug]]).
 
</translate><span id="Any critical bug"></span><translate>
 
=== Any critical bug === <!--T:10-->
 
<!--T:11-->
This describes the process of doing a clean install on Windows®.
 
<!--T:12-->
Firstly, delete your normal '''Kdenlive''' folder (containing the application)
 
<!--T:13-->
Access the '''Appdata''' folder (<keycap>Win + R</keycap> and then type '''APPDATA''' in full caps). Go to <tt>local</tt> and search for folder <tt>kdenlive</tt>.
 
<!--T:14-->
{{Note|If you have any saved effects or clips stored in your library, make a backup of the library folder.}}
 
<!--T:15-->
Then once you have backup up your library folder, delete the <tt>kdenlive</tt> folder.
 
<!--T:16-->
Reinstall the latest version of '''Kdenlive''' from the [https://kdenlive.org/en/download download page]
 
=== JPG files appear as white picture after rendering === <!--T:39-->
 
<!--T:40-->

=== Play/Pause Issue === <!--T:3-->
 
<!--T:32-->

=== Qt rendering crash === <!--T:8-->
 
<!--T:9-->
When switching from kdenlive for windows 17.12 &rarr; 18.04/18.08, a Qt rendering crash appears. To make sure this doesn't happen, you need to edit the <tt>kdenliverc</tt> file in the <tt>appdata/local</tt> folder. To access your appdata, press <keycap>Win + R</keycap> (<keycap>Windows</keycap> key and <keycap>R</keycap> key simultaneously) and type '''appdata'''. Go to <tt>local</tt> and within it rename <tt>kdenliverc</tt> to <tt>kdenliverc.old</tt>.
 
=== Kdenlive cannot be deleted, running process on exit === <!--T:17-->
 
<!--T:35-->
This issue is solved with Windows version 18.12.1. Get the current version from the [https://kdenlive.org/en/download download page].
 
<!--T:18-->
If you want to reinstall '''Kdenlive''' or re-run '''Kdenlive''', it may tell you "The file or folder is open in another program". Windows® then won't let you delete or re-run '''Kdenlive'''.
 
<!--T:19-->
To fix this you have to kill the running process: press and hold <keycap>Ctrl + Shift + Esc</keycap> & expand the task manager by clicking <menuchoice>all details</menuchoice>. Then find <tt>kdenlive.exe</tt> & <tt>dbus-daemon.exe</tt>, and click <menuchoice>End task</menuchoice> for both of them.
 
<!--T:20-->
Or download the [[file:Kdenlive-kill.zip]]. Unpack it and just double-click the batch file which kills all running '''Kdenlive''' processes.
 
=== Kdenlive cannot be uninstalled === <!--T:36-->
 
<!--T:37-->
If the uninstaller doesn't work you can delete following folder: {{Path|C:\Program Files\kdenlive}}.
You have to manually delete in the start menu the Kdenlive folder.
 
=== Kdenlive crash or green Monitor === <!--T:24-->
 
<!--T:25-->
Get all newest Windows® updates. Afterwards, update your graphic card driver and your sound card driver and your printer driver.
Some crashes could occur of incompatibility of the graphics card and sound card with the newest Windows®10 updates (18.09 update).
After you have updated the drivers re-start the computer and try again by starting <tt>kdenlive.exe</tt>.
 
<!--T:38-->
If this is not solving the problem switch your standard printer to “Microsoft XPS Document Writer” and try again to start Kdenlive.
 
<!--T:33-->
Delete the <tt>kdenliverc</tt> file as descript here under [[Special:myLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Windows_Issues#Qt_rendering_crash|Qt rendering crash]].
 
<!--T:34-->
Make sure you set processing thread to 1: <keycap>Ctrl+Shift+, (comma)</keycap> &rarr; <menuchoice>Environment</menuchoice> &rarr; <menuchoice>Processing thread</menuchoice> &rarr; set to 1
