miktex-console failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. #1489

Closed marcohernandez-git closed 6 months ago

[x] I have read and acknowledged this HOWTO article:
Submitting a MiKTeX problem report I updated MikTex today, and now the miktex-console fails to start and I get an error windows with the message "application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized,..". MikTex works, just the miktex-console fails to start after the update. I submit the miktex-report and logs. miktex-report.txt log.zip

same for me (#1488)

edocevoli commented 7 months ago

Maybe another Qt6 installation is in the way. Please open a command prompt and enter

set PATH=%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Programs\MiKTeX\miktex\bin\x64;%PATH%
miktex-console.exe

Please also try this workaround: https://github.com/MiKTeX/miktex/issues/1486#issuecomment-2084843465

tfrank1971 commented 7 months ago

ok, confirmed, #1486 works. Thanks!

marcohernandez-git commented 7 months ago

Yes, the workaround works. Thank you very much.

Same problem, don't know how to fix it at the moment

My colleague had the same problem, and the only solution we found was manually removing miktex altogether (as the console refused to open). This was before we discovered this thread. Now I did just try updating on my own PC, had the same problem and the solution from the workaround posted in the other thread does work. However, not everyone will be able to find their way to github, so there is an urgent need to have this fixed!

Go to this (https://ctan.net/systems/win32/miktex/tm/packages/) download miktex-qt6-bin-x64.tar.lzma Unzip and copy to the appropriate folder

creator1creeper1 commented 4 months ago

I just encountered this issue. The workaround from #1486 of running miktex --admin packages update worked for me. I don't understand why this has been closed though.

egorpugin commented 4 months ago

Same error.

koppor commented 4 months ago

After an update using the UI, I had this issue. The fix stated at the comment works:

c:\>miktex  packages update
Installing package fancyhdr...
Installing package hyperref...
Installing package hyperref__doc...
Installing package latexindent...
Installing package lni...
Installing package luaxml...
Installing package markdown...
Installing package markdown__doc...
Installing package miktex-qt6-bin-x64...
Installing package moderncv...

Go to this (https://ctan.net/systems/win32/miktex/tm/packages/) download miktex-qt6-bin-x64.tar.lzma Unzip and copy to the appropriate folder

It opened the UI but gave an error (it was a general error) then I checked and installed updates again, and it disappeared.
