Hi there,
I am aware there are a few solved threads on this topic, but none of them worked for me. So I’ve been working in UE4 so far and switched to UE5.1 recently. Creating the first blueprints lead me to the problem:
In every Blueprint I create, also the ones created automatically by creating a new Level for example, the Components Tab is missing. Obviously, I tried reopening it from the Windows menu, but it’s not listed there either. I tried loading the default Layout, restarting Unreal and tried verifying my unreal version, etc.
I tried finding a solution, but none of these worked for me:
First I noticed it with a simple actor component BP on a Level Sequence Actor, after that I tried it on a plain actor and out of interest with scene and static mesh component BP on a plain actor. Looks pretty normal, except the components tab is gone and not listed the windows menu:
As expected. Components cannot have other components. There absolutely should be NO components tab here. If you tried adding a timeline here, for example, you’ll be unable to as well.
