nRF Kconfig GUI mostly doesnt work

[cellular_iot]

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?

Thank you! I will forward this information! And yes, hopefully we will have it working in the next release!

Have a nice weekend! 

Best regards,

Would be nice! UNfortunately I couldn't find a fast workarround for the Kconfig GUI, thats a bunch of .Js, .JSON and .PY files seemingly scanning the project for kconfig themself, not jzust a call to west or Menuconfig. Maybe the team has an idea whats wrong there... As it worked in earlier times there just might be a tiny change which kills the feature - like it did for menuconfig.
