[Resolved] STM32CubeIDE project creation issue

Updated post to reflect permanent fix

Dear STM32CubeIDE user,

Further to the recent STM32CubeIDE project creation issue, we would like to inform you that a solution is now available for you.

This permanent fix applies to all STM32CubeIDE versions.

  1. Issue description

When creating a new STM32 project in STM32CubeIDE, the “STM32Cube” radio button may have become unresponsive, blocking the “Next” button after the product selection screen. This prevented the project creation from being completed.

  1. Permanent fix

You can apply this resolution to any STM32CubeIDE version, even if you applied the temporary workaround that we recently shared with you.

  1. Open STM32CubeIDE.
  2. Refresh the database.
    Go to Help > STM32Cube updater > Select “Check the Target selector Device Database Updates”
  3. Restart STM32CubeIDE
  4. If you deactivated the auto refresh function previously, you may wish to reactivate it for all your STM32Cube tools. Here is how to proceed:
  • STM32CubeIDE:
    Go to Window > Preferences > STM32Cube > Firmware Updater.
    Select your preferred auto-refresh option.
  • STM32CubeMX:
    Go to Help > Connection & Updates > Updater Settings.
    Select your preferred auto-refresh option.
  • STMCUFinder:
    Click on the Settings icon > Settings > Updater Settings.
    In the "Database Auto-Refresh" section, select your auto-refresh option.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this temporary issue.

If you require further information or assistance, please contact our customer support.

Best regards,

STMicroelectronics

This thread is over 5 months old; it's from long before v2.0.0 - so not relevant to v2.0.0.

 

Note that v2.0.0 no longer integrates CubeMX at all:

STM32CubeIDE 2.0.0 released - 18 November 2025

STM32CubeIDE 2.0.0 new workflow tutorial

For an explanation & discussion of this change, see: IDE Version 2.0.0 - why remove MX ?

 

If you still have a specific problem with v2.0.0, please start a new thread and give a full description of your issue:

How to write your question to maximize your chances to find a solution

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.
A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

Ah yes, the traditional ST approach to customer service:

- Ignore the problem

- Do something else, like add telemetry or an online account requirement

- Release a new version that eliminates the feature that doesn't work properly

- Tell everyone the problem is no longer relevant.

This is called the Soviet approach: "tell the government what you need, they'll tell you how to live without it."

FIY some people use older versions of tools for process and regulatory reasons. And also because the newer tools are not always an improvement on the older ones.

People forget: "evolution" does not imply "improvement". An evolution is only a change. It can be for the worst. ST proves it frequently.
