I hope this doesn't come as a surprise to many of you. For several (good) reasons, any further QLC+ version will stop working on Windows XP. Support in the forums will stop at the end of 2020.
I think it is time to move on from old hardware and software.
I am also struggling to keep building QLC+ on a XP compatible framework, so there is a strong technical reason to this.
Windows 7, instead, should be supported for some more time as Windows 10 is around since "only" 5 years now.

If you step by, let me know which OS you're currently using!

Good decision! Windows XP is sooo old, no longer supported by its developers and reducing maintenance work by no longer supporting Windows XP is a good thing!
