Hello,

I’m sorry to hear about the difficulties you’re experiencing with the Torizon IDE extension in Visual Studio Code. It can be quite frustrating when essential features like explorer buttons and templates go missing. Let’s go through some steps that might help resolve this issue:

  1. Verify Extension Installation: Double-check that the Torizon IDE extension is properly installed and up to date. You can do this by visiting the Extensions view in Visual Studio Code and checking for any available updates.

  2. Check Extension Settings: Sometimes, specific settings within the extension can impact its functionality. Navigate to the settings for the Torizon IDE extension and ensure all configurations are correct.

  3. Reinstall the Extension: If the problem persists, try uninstalling and then reinstalling the Torizon IDE extension. This can help resolve issues that might arise from corrupted files or settings.

  4. Check Dependencies: Ensure all dependencies required by the Torizon IDE extension, such as Docker and PowerShell, are installed and functioning correctly. This is crucial for the extension to work as expected.

  5. Review Logs: Examine the activation logs for any errors or warnings that might provide clues about the issue. While your logs appear error-free, it’s worth double-checking for any overlooked details.

  6. Test on a Fresh Environment: If possible, try setting up the Torizon IDE extension on a different machine or a fresh installation of Visual Studio Code. This can help determine if the issue is specific to your current setup.

By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue with the missing explorer buttons and templates. Keeping your development environment stable is important, so ensure all components are up to date and correctly configured.

I hope this helps, and please feel free to reach out if you have any more questions.
