STM32CubeIDE on Windows 7

[techdesk]

Hello
I tried everything but I cannot get STM32CubeIDE to get the editor to work.
I just keep on getting this message: There is no active editor that provides an outline.
I spent hours re-installing but nothing worked
All help will be appreciated

Maybe try old version - afair i had  CubeIDE v1.10.0  installed on Win7 .

main.c   MouseClick  returns "no active editor that provides an outline"

Environment: Windows 11. date 11jan2025

  Go to windows explorer:

     DoubleClick  any *.c file.  ( or find your actual .. project... main.c  file)

        WINDOWS ASKS YOU TO "SELECT AN APP TO EDIT THIS main.c FILE

          Select NotePad

      Close everything

 Restart

If you have made an IDE-project, it should look like this :

"no active editor that provides an outline" = something is missing, to let the IDE know, what to do.

Is this your first try with this IDE ?  -> read the manual, ...first : get started etc.
