According to the screenshots published in the official announcement post and in the official NSight Visual Studio Edition download page, after installing Nsight Visual Studio Edition 2022.1.1 there shall be a new “NSight” menu item in Visual Studio.

After installing Visual Studio Community 2022 (version 17.1.0) and installing Nsight Visual Studio Edition 2022.1.1 (build 2022.1.1.22006) I get the Nsight menu item under Extensions, but there is not top-level Nsight item in Visual Studio.

Is it a bug?

It’s not a bug, this is how Visual Studio works now since an update in VS 2019. You can still get extensions on the top-level main menu but you have to take some manual steps:

  • Right-click on the main VS toolbar, then click Customize...
  • Select the Extensions Menu tab.
  • Under the Menu items in the Extensions menu tab uncheck any extensions you would like to appear in the top-level main menu instead of the Extensions menu.

Great, this works for me, SOLVED!

Thank you Elton.
