The right-click menu doesn't seem fully populated...

Maybe "your thought" is wrong.  Go ahead and license it.  If you cannot (for some reason), call NI, figure out why not, go ahead and "jump through their hoops" and give them the information that they require to allow you to use LabVIEW "for free" (with some restrictions -- "if you can't stand the Restrictions, get out of the Community Edition" (a paraphrase of a well-known aphorism).

Thank you Mr. Ko!

That spun the magic 8-Ball.   

@ the original poster.

~~~~Oh Magic 8-Ball,  "Did the poster close all running applications during installation & reboot after installation was complete?"~~~

The 8-Ball says: "It appears unlikely."

NOTES:

• I've probably made more mistakes using LabVIEW than the number of choices you have made using LabVIEW (In the US Navy we said "He's flushed more seawater than you've seen.")
• One of these days I'll figure out @mentions.

That is NOT the Right-clilck menu, that is the new  "LEFT click followed by a Right-Click" menu. 

To OP, try to make a little wire before doing a Right-click.

Yes that is left click and then right click menu, but these create options don't work, I'm trying to make them work.

Any custom shortcut menu plugins?

These probably stay in your install directory and\or in or user directory. So a repair or uninstall\install won't fix it.

I expect that a shortcut menu could mess up both the menu as what the menu items do.

I don't see how this could mess things up accidentally though. So if you have no idea what a shortcut menu plugin is, it's probably a red haring. Unless your host has been used by others before you...

They are here:

<user directory>\Documents\LabVIEW Data\PopupMenus
<labview.exe dir>\resource\plugins\PopupMenus

The first directory is shared by all LV versions.

The 2nd directory should have a bunch of llbs... You can temporarily delete them to see if one causes problems, but they are probably shipped by NI.

And they don't work even if you make a wire before your Right click ?

What happens if you just use the Right-click ?

The R-click menu is new in 2023Q3, are you sure you have that version?

[dkfire]

The Getting Started window in the video shows that.

Create options worked from the full menu, I didn't know if it was there till you showed me. The small menu (left click, then right click menu) create options still do not work. I will check the directories of the menus and update this post if I make it working.
