<p>Hello</p>
<p>could you try newer releases ? as far as I know people have been
using qe in windows without such issues. <br>
</p>
<p> To simplify things you could use the Quantum Mobile virtual
machine. You can download it here
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.materialscloud.org/work/quantum-mobile">https://www.materialscloud.org/work/quantum-mobile</a>. <br>
</p>
<p>Otherwise on windows I usually work on the linux subsystem
(wsl), which is another virtual machine if fact. </p>
<p>Hope this helps - regards Pietro<br>
</p>
