Offline Help window in LabVIEW 2022?

I have unchecked the checkbox on the NI Help Properties, restarted LabVIEW, but I still get this:

This is LabVIEW 2024 Q3 32-bit

Here we are in late 2024 and the documentation search is still horrendously slow.

Recently installed LabVIEW 2022Q3 and unchecked the box in NI Help Preferences and I get this whether connected or disconnected from the network. Any ideas on how to resolve this?

I've just installed 2024 Q3 and am getting exactly the same thing. It was working fine in 2024 Q1.

Recently updated to using LV2023 and the help system is now terrible.

 

Slow, unintuitive, and somehow missing something. The old licensing model was recently brought back. Now bring back the old help system or create a new one and throw the current one in the trash bin. 😠


Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T

I understand NI getting rid of the CHM help files. But the current help format is bad. I don't see what the problem would be with just having HTML5 files and have them open up in a web browser. It would be a lot less development for NI and it would be one less tool we are forced to install.

In circuits bright, LabVIEW once shone,
With help at our fingertips, knowledge was known.
But a change came swift, now tethered to the net,
Offline wisdom hidden, a source we forget.

Oh, National Instruments, why turn us away?
In obscure corners, we search for the way.



Seriously, I have no idea why they would change the default behavior in this way.

What are you doing writing LabVIEW code, you should be out writing poetry for a living.

I'm not sure there is a huge market for AI poetry (apologies if it wasn't, it's what I would have done)

Just trying to let my disdain for how they did help known without resorting to profanity.   Thanks for putting up with me.
