Dear all,

I was running QGIS 3.44.08 installed via OSGeo4W on Windows 11 until 
today. I used osgeo4w-setup.exe, trying to install pcraster, which did 
not work (error message indicating that download was not completed). 
Afterwards, the GRASS tools were no longer present in the processing 
toolbox. After some attempts to fix the problem, I completely removed 
the OSGeo4W folder and all dependencies and re-installed QGIS using the 
recent OSGeo4W version.

Now I am facing two problems:

  * GRASS tools are not available in the processing toolbox. Of course I
    did the following
      o Settings – Options – Processing – Providers – Grass tickboxes ticked
       o  Plugins – Manage and Install Plugins – Grass GIS Processing
        provider ticked
      o GRASS is available in the folder and running as a standalone GUI
        C:\OSGeo4W\bin\grass85.bat
  * SAGA plugin Processing SAGA NextGen Provider is not available. Of
    course I did the following
      o Plugins – Manage and Install Plugins – Settings – Show also
        Experimental Plugins – Click Reload Repositories
      o Plugins – Manage and Install Plugins – All – Searching for
        "saga" to check for Processing SAGA NextGen Provider plugin
      o SAGA is available in the folder and running as a standalone GUI
        C:\OSGeo4W\bin\saga_gui.bat

I added some additional information on how QGIS is installed below.

Many thanks

Jochem
