I have no active rules in my built-in quality profile for C++. When I copy/extend the built-in one and try and activate more rules there are none to select (as in the image below).
What plugins are installed on your SonarQube server (what is the content of your $SONARQUBE_HOME/extensions/plugins directory?

Nothing looks suspect in your plugin directory (just wanted to make sure there were no “unknown” plugins that could be contributing C/C++ rules or messing with existing stuff).
Do you mind sharing a screenshot of your Quality Profiles page (where you see the built-in quality profile has 0 rules)? I just want to make sure I understand what you’re seeing.
