When I start Rhino 8 with the /netfx suffix, Grasshopper seems to load as usual, but then it does not show any plugins’ tab (including Kangaroo):
As you can see from the screenshot, the plugins are loaded: searching for a component from an installed plugin works, and the components work fine; they just don’t show up if they are in dedicated tabs. All plugins located in Grasshopper’s standard tabs do show up.
Here is the shortcut I use to start Rhino in /netfx mode:
And here’s my SystemInfoSystemInfo_netfx.txt (3.0 KB)
What could be the cause of this behaviour?

Hi Alessio,
Not able to repeat here in the latest.
Lets try repairing your Rhino install (go to add & remove programs and modify)

Hi @Japhy ,
before doing that… why did you highlight the .NET framework version? Is it supposed to be a different one when launching Rhino with the /netfx suffix?
Here’s a side-by-side of Systeminfo (left: Rhino launched normally, right: with the /netfx suffix):

I was highlighting that Rhino 8 was being opened in .netframework via the /netfx flag

Yes, that’s what I wrote in the title and in the opening sentence of my first post

I finally got the notification to update Rhino to the latest SR (31). That fixed the issue.
