nRF Kconfig GUI mostly doesnt work

Using latest SDK and toolchain 3.0.1, VSCode and nRF Connection Pack on Windows 11 I nearly never see a working nRF Kconfig GUI - only the first time directly after I had started VSCode and created a new App by copying a sample, creating a new build config, generate and build - and then I get a fully functional Kconfig GUI. After that its briken and either only shows some bootloader settings or doesn't startup at all. west build -t menuconfig always shows a richer menu - see the screenshot below showing both menuconfig and nRF Kcconfig GUI at the same time.
So whats the recommended way of configuring nRF connect in VScode?

  • That broken Kconfig GUI annoyed me - so I took a screenshot and saw, that its calling:
    "west build -t sysbuild_menuconfig" - which in fact shows the broken Kconfig menu.
    So I searched my HDD for the string and found it here:
    C:\Users\xyz\.vscode\extensions\nordic-semiconductor.nrf-connect-2025.5.152-win32-x64\dist\extension.js

    I replaced <r=e.sysbuild?"sysbuild_menuconfig":"menuconfig"> with <r=e.sysbuild?"menuconfig":"menuconfig">, restarted vscode - an now I get at least a working menuconfig.

    So maybe you guys could fix this in the next release?
