Hello :slight_smile: Can anyone solve this issue: Everytime I come out of Audacity and attempt to go to the internet, it shows ’ not connected to the internet’ I have to put the computer into ‘sleep mode’ then get it out of sleep mode to be able to get back online again. Can anyone explain this and help me please? Thank you very much for your time and consideration!

If the problem persists, you could try disabling the check for updates (Edit > Preferences > Application)

I also wonder if perhaps you are running some security software that causes this to happen.
