IntelliJ IDEA 2021.2 New Project Dialog doesn't open

Looks like https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KTIJ-19251.

Make sure Gradle plug-in is enabled.

Thanks! That worked.

I have the same problem plus I can't  add a new module neither. I have the Gradle plug-in enable. I have tried to disable then enable the plugin, but no success.

Here is my configuration:

Never mind. I have disabled Maven plugin in an attempt to enhance performance and it was causing the problem. By the way, the apple silicon version was a great improvement on performance! Thank you all!

As a feedback, the Intellij Idea should not allow to disable such required plugins. One looses a lot of time trying to debug this. I had to look on idea.log to see the exception.

It's a known bug in the Kotlin plug-in. It needs Maven and Gradle plug-ins to work properly which are disabled in your configuration.

The solution is to either disable Kotlin plug-in or to enable Maven and Gradle plug-ins.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
