Comfyui developers are so smart that they surpass themselves with every update. Therefore, don't bother trying to fix it. Neither the manager will work nor will you be able to see the extra model links. You will have to reinstall everything from scratch and try dozens of combinations. I reinstalled it from scratch, but the manager is still not visible.

@Cunningcory:

I can see my Manager, but nothing works anymore. I get:

Loading aborted due to error reloading workflow data
TypeError: this.widgets.values(...).filter is not a function

Looks like v0.4.0 broke everything.

@benceruleanlu:

The manager has moved to the Comfy menu here

@salmons1201:

@benceruleanlu you're genius

@pazzuzu:

If you're experiencing model and custom node issues after the update, you can try the following method. I was able to get the old nodes and models working like this. First, I backed up my old settings and old comfyui folder under a different name. I deleted the current comfyui. I downloaded the latest comfyui desktop program. I performed a clean installation. I deleted the second comfyui data files that were created. I renamed the old comfyui folder back to its original name. I know this sounds a bit confusing, but if you've been using comfyui for a long time, you'll understand what I mean. Everything is working now.

@dosubot[bot] commented on GitHub (Dec 10, 2025):

The Manager in ComfyUI v0.4.0 and later is now found in the main menu under "Manage Extensions"—it’s no longer a separate sidebar or button. This is the new, intended location for managing custom nodes and extensions in the desktop app (docs).

If you still don’t see the Manager after updating and reinstalling, it could be due to a broken environment or missing dependencies. Try these steps:

Make sure you’re running the latest ComfyUI Desktop release (not just the core).
Check that your install isn’t in a restricted folder (avoid OneDrive, Program Files, etc.).
Open the built-in terminal and run pip install -r requirements.txt inside the app’s virtual environment to fix missing packages (troubleshooting).
If issues persist, close the app, delete the .venv folder in your ComfyUI directory, and restart to force a clean environment.
Back up and remove config files like comfy.settings.json and extra_models_config.yaml to let the app regenerate them.
Check main.log and comfyui.log in your logs folder for errors about node import failures or dependency issues.

If you see errors about “skipped fixing the 'comfyui-frontend-package' because the ComfyUI is outdated,” your Desktop version may be behind the latest core and dependency updates—using the portable or manual install versions can help in that case (details).

Let me know if you need more detailed steps for any of these actions.

To reply, just mention @dosu.

Docs are dead. Just use Dosu.

The manager is indeed present, but please open issues if there's anything wrong, we'll be watching closely for the next few days to make sure this lands right.

Im not sure what I am missing, but I cant find how to install custom nodes like the GGUF Model Loader because it doesnt show up in this search.

Am I at the right place?

https://www.runcomfy.com/comfyui-nodes/gguf/dual-clip-loader-gguf

SOLUTION:

I forgot to add the --enable-manager flag when starting ComfyUI with python
