I would like to report that after following the new complicated steps in Kit SDK - Windows | NVIDIA NGC to launch the new Omniverse Kit 106.5, in contrast to what it says in the above-mentioned link, the Extension Manager is gone from the Window. The whole thing i see as much more complex than the old way through Ominverse Launcher.
Maybe it is related to this only warning I found upon execution? I placed the project on a folder called Kit from previous versions of the same software.

Yes, the developer mode is OFF by default. And so are many of the features you are used to. This is to make the “default template” as light and as lean as possible. Then you can enable developer mode and add back whatever you need. We are moving towards a developer platform, and therefore, whilst we are still providing the USD Composer template, it is designed to be customized and built by you, the developer.
