Console window not displaying | Qt Forum
forum.qt.io › topic › 135115Mar 16, 2022 · This behavior is not a bug, it's a feature in Qt Creator version 6. (Haven't tested Qt Creator version 7 yet but I expect the same as in version 6). In earlier versions of Qt Creator, for example 5.0.1, a console window appears as you mention. But in version 6 Qt Creator instead tries to route your printf() calls to the Application Output window in Qt Creator (so that your printf() calls behave more or less like calls to qDebug())
