nRF Connect (v2024.9.5) under WSL not working

[Andrei H.]

Hi,

 I have the following version(s):

1. Windows ver: 23H2 build 22631.4317
2. WSL version: 2.2.4.0 (OS Ubuntu-22.04)
3. VSCode Version: 1.94.2 (user setup) (latest)
4. nRF Connect for VS Code Extension Pack v2024.9.5 (latest)
5. Toolchain v2.7.0 (newest)

 The problem is it's not doing anything, its saying "Activating Extensions" forever, not working, e.g.:

1. 
2. 

 Anything can be done to fix this?

Regards.

Hi Andrei,

Is this a fresh install on the PC.? Or was it working fine before.?

Hi SwRa,

 Actually, I forgot to mention something. In the past I was using `nrfutil` which now is changed to a completely different tool. Now I believe this problem has to do with this tool, since now there is another one called the same and to access the old tool this is command is required instead `nrfutil nrf5sdk-tools`. Is there a way to purge this old tool completely and ensure the new one is installed in WSL?

Regards.
