Hi, thanks for the report. Unable to confirm after importing 4.1 prefs.
Can you check console for error: Window > Toggle Windows Console

Thanks, can confirm actually with your prefs.

I might be wrong, this seems related to your 4.1 startup file. If I open startup.blend file manually, the add-on tab is invisible

At least something, thanks.

By the way, my startup file is pretty old: it migrates from older versions one by one and was slightly modified each time. So perhaps it may accumulate errors or something like this.

And yes, you are right. Even after proper and clean Blender 4.2 install i opened my old startup file and it broke addon-tab.
And the most upsetting issue that all old files (based on this startup) break addon tab in 4.2

Yes, startup file was last saved in 3.3LTS. I already checked in one of my 3.3 file, add-on tab is visible there.

Oh, it's broken in all older .blend files for you?

Yep, suddenly found it myself.
The issue is addon filter can filter system addon «Blender extensions». Idk if this behaviour is legit and it should do so.
