Creating first-time Win S3 project does not create Device window

I'll try that, thanks. But I think I'll have to set up my test case on a different computer.

For the moment, I think I've managed to fix the problem, but in a rather roundabout fashion -- for lack of any better ideas, I uninstalled my original 64-bit CodeSys package, and installed the 32-bit branch (still version 3.5.16.10). And now, when I create a new project from scratch as per the tutorial, everything works as expected.

This should work for me (crossed fingers!) because my eventual production deployment will just be a 32bit system. But I can't see why this worked -- when I had 64-bit installed, I tried both the 32-bit and 64-bit "PLCs" as project targets, without success -- no Devices window ever. But like I said, in that same 64-bit version, if I tried the Raspberry Pi target instead of a Win or RTE, the POU and Devices windows both appeared as per the tutorial.

Hello,
View > Devices
or Alt+0
or maybe your window locations have been messed up, in which case you can reset it with:
Window > Reset Window Layout

I'm trying to use the 30-day trial for a Control Win V3 3S, following the CodeSys tutorial, and I'm getting stopped at the first step.

According to the tutorials, once I create the project, I should get a POU window and a Device-tree window. I only get the POU window, unless/until I go "online" with the simulated PLC (using Online>Simulation). At that point, I see the expected Device, with the Task beneath it, but I can't edit anything in this view, or add POUs, or, well, anything. And the moment I log off, the Devices window vanishes, leaving me with just the POU window.

And if I create POUs in the POU window, none of them show up at all in the Device tree when I log on. I'm stuck in a complete cleft stick, here.

When offline, in the POU window, I've tried right-clicking the project name, and using Add Device. But when I select any of the "PLCs" in the available list, and hit "add device", nothing happens. At all. No errors, nothing.

What am I missing here? I've followed the "getting started" tutorial to the letter, but I'm getting nowhere. What am I doing wrong here?

(the CodeSys Gateway and Control are both running in the SysTray)

If I target my project for the Raspberry Pi, everything works as expected, but I need to generate this program for Win V3 3S (32 bit). Plus I can't even use the Pi version, b/c CodeSys kills the ethernet port somehow and I've had no luck finding any help for that, either.
