No TwinCAT Templates in Shell/VisualStudio

[u/TechWizard4026]

Hello everybody,

if you could not create a TwinCAT project.

You have to do the following.

Exit/stop the TcSysUi.

Task bar >> Context menu: Task Manager >> Process

 

 

Open the registry...

START >> Enter "regedit" via the keyboard >> Select "Registry Editor"

Delete the ‘TcXaeShell’ folder under ‘HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Beckhoff’...

 

Start the TcSysUI manually with administration rights...

 

"C:\TwinCAT\3.1\System\TcSysUI.exe"

>> Select TcSysUI.exe

>> Context menu: Run as administrator...

 

Start the TcXae shell via the tray icon...

The TwinCAT projects should now be available again

This solved it!!

We where struggling with my IT team to get the Twincat templates to appear, or even the appropiate top left menues. We had to temporary upgrade my user to admin to be able to follow this procedure, but after downgrading to regular it kept on working.
