When i look file explorer C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2023\vi.lib\MakerHub\LINX

everything seems to be there.

If someone have a more graceful solution just let me know.

I just upgraded to 2023 Q3 and noticed the same issue. I have Q1 on another computer and it had an extra dir.mnu file in the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2023\menus\Categories\Hobbyist.

 

I copied it over and everything is good now. I have attached a .zip file of the dir.mnu file. Just extract it and move it over to the directory above and it will restore everything.

I just did follow your instruction, I then reboot we can see the file in the picture 1 it was not there before so i added as per your instructions, but no luck it did not populate the Hobbyist menu see picture 3, it still show the toolbox alone.

My non elegant solution work for me , I think the tools for Arduino and Co. should be in Makerhub menu like picture 2 for that Labview 2023 Q3.
