FREERTOS vs X-CUBE-FREERTOS

Using STM32CubeIDE v1.17 (STM32CubeMX v6.13) to edit IOC file and generate code...

Previously when working with STM32H563 I selected X-CUBE-FREERTOS under Middleware, added tasks, generated code, and saw expected code in app_freertos.c for tasks.

Now starting to work with STM32G491. Under Middleware I see FREERTOS but no X-CUBE-FREERTOS. After adding a task and generating code, I see nothing in app_freertos.c for the task. 

What is the difference between FREERTOS and X-CUBE-FREERTOS?

Why don’t I see X-CUBE-FREERTOS when working with STM32G491?

Oh. Task creation, queues, mutexes, etc are in main.c not app_freertos.c
