Would someone please verify that the only way the new start menu shows any projects if you are on line?  My system is off line and when I start Sonar the start menu is blank however if I'm on line then it works just fine.  I'd like to know if this is specific to my system or if it is universal.

If I disable the start menu then Sonar opens but no start menu.  I was hoping that the old start menu would return.

The only time my system is on line is during Sonar updates and that is not going to change.

Thanx in advance for your time.

Not seeing a problem here:
 
- Closed Start Screen, unplugged the LAN, and still got the expected Recent Projects view.
- Restarted SONAR  and still okay.
- Rebooted with no LAN, and still okay.
 
 

Not seeing a problem here either.

Seeing a problem with my laptop but not my desktop.
(both disconnected from the internet when I run Sonar)

Please confirm how you are offline. Are you right clicking and disabling the adapter (preferred method), or just pulling the plug. Thanks.

No problem here (desktop)

I'm having this problem and I disconnect by disabling the WiFi adapter on my computer.

Actually both.  I disable the Ethernet card and I unplug the cable.  This is a desktop computer, just in case that matters.  Also no WiFi on it.

No problems here, although, on the laptop that was updated from 8 to 10 the start screen takes a bit longer than the windows 7 desktop that was updated to 10. Odd.

FYI if you disable the adapter you don't need to unplug the cable. It shuts down the whole network stack there's nothing happening.
 
So the question is, are people who are not experiencing this, just pulling out the chord? Maybe you could try that as well (don't disable the adapter).
 
We've already got another confirmation by disabling the adapter:

You might also want to try updating your network adapter drivers (always worth doing anyway).
