Project related tool windows missing in some of my projects after upgrade from 2019.2.3 to 2020.2.2
Answered
Some of my projects lost the ability to show project related tool windows like the project, version control, ant after upgrading from 2019.2.3 to 2020.2.2. Alt-1 doesn't bring up the project window, and the windows are missing from View -> Tool Windows. I don't see any problems in the project structure window. How do I troubleshoot and fix this problem?

I see the following all over in my log file, so I disabled the TeamCity plugin and the problem went away. It's interesting to me that one plugin could take out all the tool windows like that. I don't think IntelliJ has visibly shown any errors, either during upgrade or when running.
Sorry for the problem, we've submitted a bug to address it: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/TW-68107.
As far as I understand, this issue will not occur with 2020.3 version as IDE will check for incompatible plug-ins: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-246822 .
However, it may still occur if the updates are performed by the Toolbox app until https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/TBX-1238 is fixed.
