Hi I haven't seen anyone having the problem I'm having, My start screen is completely blank, No recent project icons, no templates but if I click on existing projects my folder comes up. The start screen was working fine for the first few times I was opening and closing projects, I'm wondering do you have to be connected to the internet for it to work? I only connect my Daw computer for updates. I really like the start screen and would love to use it, also I'm worried about the templates I have created not being available.
Thanks Guys,
Andrew

Not required to be connected to internet for it to work with your projects/templates, but would be if you wanted to see the notifications/play videos.
 
If it's blank, make sure a firewall isn't blocking it.  

Thanks for the reply, It was working initially and I didn't change anything. I'm not sure how to check if a firewall is blocking it. I'm trying to use it offline.

Has anybody else had this issue?

Yes, apparently, but I'm not seeing a problem:
