STM32CubeMX Won't start after Windows update - Dec 2023

[patm]

I went to use STM32CubeMX and I get the splash screen then nothing. I downloaded and installed the latest version V6.10.0 and still the same. I am running windows 10 professional. Does anyone else have this problem ?

I wonder if there has been a Java update that has broken this ?

Hello @patm 

First let me thank you for posting.

Any update to JAVA version should not be an issue as STM32CubeMX have it's own JRE.

To be able to locate the issue, could you run CubeMX with CLI and share the console log.

Please find below. The splash screen appears then disappears.

Try to run this command in the installation folder of CubeMX:

jre\bin\java -jar STM32CubeMX.exe -i

Hello @patm 

Could you share the content of the STM32CubeMX\plugins\ folder and the access right given to this folder.
According to the log file some plugins (projectManager, filemanager, pinoutconfig) seems to be missing.

Please find attached.

Since there is no more help from ST on this issue @Semer CHERNI , I decided to remove STM32CubeMX from my PC and try a reinstall. I couldn't remove it via windows control panel so I used the command line but there is an error.

Does anyone know what the issue is and how to resolve it ?
