STM32CubeIDE missing “STM32 Project” and CubeMX after fresh installation

[Shabbir_raghib]

I am facing an issue with STM32CubeIDE installation where the “STM32 Project” option and CubeMX functionality are missing even after downloading the latest STM32CubeIDE package from the official ST website, extracting the ZIP file, and running the installer as administrator. The IDE opens successfully, but essential features such as MCU/Board selection, CubeMX integration, and embedded software package management are not available, which prevents me from creating a standard STM32 project. I have already tried reinstalling the IDE, but the problem persists. I would appreciate guidance from the community on the correct installation procedure or any additional steps required to enable full STM32CubeIDE and CubeMX support on Windows.

Hello @Shabbir_raghib 

STM32CubeMX plug-in for CubeIDE is not available since the V2.0.0 of the STM32CubeIDE. So, you should use the STM32CubeMX standalone version for project creation and .ioc file opening.

More details available here. 

Best Regards.

This is intentional - see: STM32CubeIDE 2.0.0 released

It was announced even before the release: STM32CubeIDE 2.0 release - early heads-up!

For rationale & discussion, please use this thread: IDE Version 2.0.0 - why remove MX?
