Port selection dialog under "Tools" is greyed out/unselectable #2901

Describe the problem

After upgrading to 2.3.3 the Port option under Tools is greyed out. The IDE won't let me select any boards, regardless of which ones I have plugged in.
Uploading sketches obviously fails because of this, because the IDE thinks I don't have a board connected.
Using the Board/Port selection dropdown shows no boards listed

To reproduce

Plug in any arduino (I tried a bare ATMEGA328 with an FTDI dongle, an Arduino Micro, an Arduino Leonardo, and a Pololo A*Star 328 16MHz).
The ports option under tools is greyed out and I cannot select any board

Expected behavior

I expect a list of plugged in and supported boards to appear as a list under the Ports sub menu, and under the boards/ports dropdown list

Arduino IDE version

2.3.3

Operating system

Windows

Operating system version

10

Additional context

The issue is not present in 2.3.2 if I downgrade
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling 2.3.3 manually but the issue persists
The ports of the connected boards show up in the device manager list in Windows
The problem persists if I try different cables and different USB ports
All my drivers are up to date
