did some more testing here.

my phone's BT is off all the time, i don't anything to use it with.
i'm able to reproduce this error if i pair and connect my phone using
NRF Connect with the DC, and then try to connect and write a
descriptor using the qt-bt-discovery.exe app.
to get out of this scenario i disconnect from the NRF Connect app.
at this point qt-bt-discovery.exe writes the descriptor correctly.

but this is not consistent - it can lead into all sorts of weird
conditions, like:
- writing the descriptor from the .EXE app disconnects the phone.
- if the phone is disconnected after that, it can no longer connect to
the device and the phone BT has to be turned off/on.
- if the phone "takes ownership" of the device, the Windows BT has to
be turned off/on, but then it decides to forget the the DC 50% of the
time.
- rediscovering the device in Windows might fail to pair or the
discovery process even crashes - OS restart is required.

this proves to me that there are ownership issues here, but also that
the whole process is quite unreliable.

so if another device other than the Windows laptop is connected to the
DC, writing to a service will simply fail with the semaphore error and
there would be no other indication.
could you try turning all suspect local devices off for such a test?

...but something else here, the Qt code is doing everything correctly
and i cannot blame it, at this point.
for now i can only blame Windows' BT support and BT as a whole.

i have updated the test app to now properly exit on ctrl+c:

Re: which additional MXE packages do you need installed?

Yes that's all ... but ... mdbtools builds static so glib-2.0 must be
built both shared and static.
BTW, the paths in my tarball are different from yours. Although
binaries get merged in their correct paths in the travis VM; if you
are thinking about include them in your tarball, this may need some
changes in scripts/windows/before_install.sh

The idea is to use the latest avaliable mdbtools, assuming it can
include some recent fix and distros or mxe may be slow at including
them in their sources.
The reality is that mdbtools' last commit is from January 2017 so we
can drop this step, if you want and, and simply use the mxe binaries.

Almost sure they will. I'm building at this moment mxe binaries from
97c0fbf in my "notsopowerful" laptop and will send a PR as soon I've
tested them to work.

Best regards.

was too tired to add proper handling of the second thread.
can be started from explorer too and closed with the [x].

No, I seem to get the same results.

Yes.

Also, how do I quit the program? Ctrl-C doesn't appear to work. All I can 
figure out is kill the cmd.exe.
That doesn't seem like the right way to do this :-)
