   Would suggest adding if (getenv("QT_QPA_PLATFORM") == nullptr) so the new instructions for setting QT_QPA_PLATFORM work on windows. Or, if you’d prefer to not change behavior in a documentation-only PR, you could add a // TODO: Fix this to not overwrite QT_QPA_PLATFORM if it is set externally comment
