Multisim stuck on startup - Odd behaviour

[octa]

Hello everyone,

I am facing an odd problem with Multisim, that I can't seem to resolve.

When firing up Multisim, after the splash screen disappears, the program gets stuck for around a minute before it starts functioning normally. Same thing happens when I try to load a simuation, it gets stuck for a minute, then loads the file.

Oddly enough, whenever I disconnect my internet connection, Multisim starts right up.

I am running Multisim 14.2 Education on Win 7 x64. Already did a fresh install of Multisim but no help.

If anybody has any idea, it would be appreciated. Thank you!

Problem solved!

The problem was an unreachable network attached printer, removing it from Windows fixed the issue.

In my case, it was an unreachable Bluetooth device.

У меня такая же история была. Задержки ликвидировались путём перезагрузки компьютера, а "помощь" вызывал вручную, нажимая на "справку".
Попробуйте версию 14.3 (устанавливать надо на W-10). "Помощь" стала работать, но скорость вычислений замедлилась. Разрешение по Tmax тоже ухудшилось...
