v1.16.0: STM32Cube Option disabled during project creation; No .ioc File Generated

Dear STMicroelectronics Support,

I am currently using STM32CubeIDE version 1.16.0 and facing an issue during project creation. The STM32Cube project option remains greyed out, regardless of the MCU or board selected (e.g., STM32L476RGT6, STM32H747I-DISCO).

Even if I proceed with the "Empty" project type, the .ioc file is not generated, and the CubeMX interface does not open.

I have already tried the following steps:

-Verified that STM32CubeMX is installed and integrated

-Switched to a new workspace

-Fully uninstalled and reinstalled STM32CubeIDE v1.16.0

Despite these efforts, the issue still persists.

I have attached an image below for your reference.

Please advise on how to resolve this issue or provide guidance on any known fixes.

Thank you for your support.

Best regards,

Hello @SaiGaneshCS 

I recommend you to use the latest version of STM32CubeIDE 1.19.0 ,it works correctly .

if you want to keep using 1.16.0, please try to:

-Close STM32CubeIDE

-Delete all those files from your PC: .stm32cufinder, .stm32cubemx, .stm32cubeide and .stm32cube

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.
