I would guess that is just a symptom, not the cause.

This warning happens when there is no cmake registered with the kit. What is
shown after "CMake Tool:"?

That is no surprise after the warning you describe: Without a cmake binary
creator does not know what to run in that situation.

Interesting effect that I have not seen described before!

Based on the data available I would guess that creator sometimes fails to find
your configured cmake binary.

What is the full path to the binary shown in Tools>Options>Build & Run>CMake?
