Not knowing what type of object process is, it's impossible to say, with any accuracy. However, since it looks like it might be a QProcess, so once again, this isn't a C++ question, but a QT question. Maybe if you took the time to look at the documentation when you run into an issue, you might be able to resolve your questions in a timely manner ... [QProcess Class | Qt Core 6.6.1](https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qprocess.html#waitForStarted:~:text=interface to freeze.-,If msecs is -1%2C this function will not time out.,-Note%3A On)

Me, I'm wondering a few things: 1. What makes you believe this is a C++ question? The answer obviously depends on what QProcess object decided to do in the waitForStarted function. 2. Why don't you Google before asking here? I tried "waitforstarted qt" and the first hit points me to QProcess Class | Qt Core 6.6.1[^] and I read there:

3. Why you keep asking in a slightly annoying tone? Makes you feel better?

He has always* behaved in this manner, even once complaining to Chris when he was asked to put his code between <pre> tags. He was thrown off the site last year for abuse, but has managed to more or less behave up to now. Quite why he continues with this code, given his level of understanding, remains a mystery. *has had different accounts, or changed the name more than once.

Reading the QT documentation could save you some pain. Just saying.
