I am trying the NUCLEO545RE-Q. I created a project, imported it to STM32CubeIDE 2.2.0. The build button is grayed out. I found several videos for version 2.0.0 where is easy and straight forward. With this version is not and I couldn’t find any help. What am I doing wrong?

Hello ​@Ecapone 

It looks like the project was imported using the wrong method. For a project generated by STM32CubeMX, the recommended way in STM32CubeIDE 2.2.0 is to use File → Import → Import STM32 Project → STM32CubeMX/STM32CubeIDE Project

Also , I recommend trying the import again in a new workspace

Take screen shot of your project explorer so we can see what files are in the project.
