How to deploy a Qt application on Windows?

Question

So now I can make a .exe of my application. Now how do I get my application ready to deploy for windows?

This is meant to be the canonical question for Qt application deployment issues on Windows.

Build your project in release mode
Copy the .exe from the release folder to the folder you want to deploy e.g C:\path\to\folder\deployfolder
Open the tools for example: Qt 6.5.3 (MinGW 11.2.0 64-bit)
Write this command: winddeployqt C:\path\to\folder\deployfolder and that's it.
