After few months I reinstalled the NCS and now works fine. I suppose due to updates.

No. If I close the workspace/folder that message doesn't appear.

Today I've unistalled all the Nordic's SDK, Command Line Tool, VS Code extensions, nRF Connect for Desktop, and then I've installed them again following the tutorial I linked above.

Except for Visial Code that I had already for other my projects with ESP32, Arduino, Flutter and so on...

I've unistalled the Espressiff extension that was not necessary yet and deleted its references in PATH variable. Now when I create a new nRF project from sample I get

Even if I open the VS Code from Nordic Toolchain Manager.

Hi Andrea,

If you close the work space do you have the pop up to select the Zephyr installation ?
Something like this:

Please make sure all the plugin/extension has been installed properly.
Have you tried to edit the setting of nRF Connect for VS Code extension:
