I am starting the Academy SDK course and getting my tools installed. I have VSCode installed (I have used it on many other projects and the "nRF Connect for VSCode" is installed and enabled. However, I do not see the nRF Connect icon in the left sidebar. I have reset the VSCode to views ot defaults, but it still does not appear. VSCode has been restarted, but the icon still does not appear.
Note that I did install this extension some months ago, however, since my current project did not need it, I uninstalled it.
The host OS is Windows 11, x64.
I have other extensions installed, e.g., Platform IO and ESP-IDF, and these work as expected.
Please advise how to resolve this.
