I am facing an issue in STM32CubeIDE on Windows where the I/O Configuration / Pinout & Configuration window is not appearing after creating or opening a project.
Normally, when opening the .ioc file, the Device Configuration Tool (CubeMX interface) should open showing the MCU pin diagram and peripheral configuration options. However, in my case, this interface is not appearing.
Issue Details:
Operating System: Windows
Software: STM32CubeIDE
When I create or open an STM32 project, the Pinout & Configuration view does not open.
The .ioc file either does not open correctly or the graphical configuration window is missing.
Because of this, I cannot configure GPIO, ADC, UART, or other peripherals.
Expected Behavior:
Opening the .ioc file should display:
Pinout & Configuration
Clock Configuration
Project Manager
with the MCU pin diagram and peripheral configuration options.
What I Have Tried:
Opening the .ioc file manually from Project Explorer.
Restarting STM32CubeIDE.
Resetting the perspective.
Creating a new STM32 project again.
However, the I/O configuration interface still does not appear.
Question:
Has anyone encountered this issue before?
Is there a way to restore or enable the Device Configuration Tool / CubeMX interface inside STM32CubeIDE?
Any suggestions or troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

STM32CubeIDE no longer includes the built-in STM32CubeMX.
Use the standalone version of STM32CubeMX to create projects.

As @TDK said, the CubeMX functionality was removed from CubeIDE from v2.0.0:
STM32CubeIDE 2.0 release - early heads-up!
STM32CubeIDE 2.0.0 New workflow tutorial
For discussion and more on the rationale, see: IDE Version 2.0.0 - why remove MX ?
