STM32CubeMX 5.6.0 (latest) Code Generation Freezes

I'm trying to generate the code on the STM32F407G-DISC1 evaluation board for the TrueStudio project environment.

The code generation just freezes.

Has anyone else seen this?

I'm running on Windows 7 Pro, 64 b0693W000000VReZQAW.pngit

I've tried different combinations of projects and processors but the result is the same.

Thanks @Imen DAHMEN​ 

This was the problem.

Since I started working from home, the IT department gave me a laptop where the User account was “R&D�?, which appeared in the STM32CubeMX repository path.

I created a new admin user not containing an '&', and it now works.

This has solved most of my other issues.

I already reported highlighted this issue internally to CubeMx team for analysis.

Hello, I have the same thing when I had upgrade the system windows 10 (1093 -> 1909). And it's the same even when I try to generate for stm32cubeide

Hi @sschu.236​ ,

Have you managed to fix it?

Take a look in the 'Project Manager' options and check to see what the path of the 'Repository' is.

'&' and '#' breaks the code generation.

Hello, I looked the path, i don't have any special caracters. My path is like that:

Hello, I resolved the issue. My work folder contained effectively a special character. I changed the work folder's name and all is OK. Thank you for your suggestion. :ok_hand:

I see this frequently, randomly, roughly 2 out of 10 times, on several projects. The associated paths have no special characters other than a space. My solution is to kill the process with the Windows process manager and try again. The odds are in my favor!
