For those of you suggesting Steam's offline mode, you have to have an active connection and be online in order to go into offline mode. Then, and only then, are you able to disconnect your connection and still play your games. Go to Steam > Settings to ensure the Don't save account credentials on this computer option is **not* selected; From the main Steam window, go to the Steam menu and select Go Offline; Click Restart in Offline Mode to restart Steam in Offline Mode; All the other answers you may have seen are solutions for if you didn't perform steps 5 and 6.

You cannot start Steam without logging in. You need to either log in with a username and password or with saved credentials. You cannot login to Steam with a username and password without an Internet connection. You cannot save credentials without first logging into Steam with a user name and password. You cannot start Steam in offline mode without saved credentials. What this all means is that in order to start Steam in offline mode, you need to have previously connected your PC to the Internet and successfully logged in to Steam. The 'Don't save account credentials on this computer' setting must have been turned off when you did so.

If you haven't already done this then there's nothing you can do to start Steam without an Internet connection. If you are ever able to connect your PC to the Internet then you should follow: Using Offline Mode on a PC.

So, we're running an Exchange 2013 infrastructure, Office 2016 professional plus. I have one user who is chronically complaining about Outlook going offline. It seems to do it regularly, and you can bring it back by clicking 'work offline' to bring it back into online mode.

I've done some research, but every topic I can find relates to having another email address set up, such as gmail - that isn't the case here; the Exchange account is the only account in Outlook, and Outlook is running in a VM that's in the same data center as Exchange (we run a VDI environment). Any idea what could be causing this issue??? Lucid Flyer wrote: Are you able to recreate the same behavior on a physical workstation? How big user's mailbox? Is there enough disk space on the VDI workstation? Have you tried recreating the user's profile? If it's a static VM.

Hercules dj control instinct driver. It's just one user. All have the same VDI image; it's a pooled Desktop. I've completely blown the user profile away and re-created it. I don't have an answer at all, as it's only one user out of 150.Have you ran a recent scan for infections.

That's the only thing I can think of that would possibly effect connectivity if it is just one machine. Zuphzuph wrote:Have you ran a recent scan for infections. That's the only thing I can think of that would possibly effect connectivity if it is just one machine. Nothing to scan - Desktops are pooled and recycled to the base image every time a user logs off. The only thing that's saved is user data (Documents, Desktop, etc) - however, this does give me an idea. Part of the saved profile data is Application Data that contains some outlook info - that doesn't get wiped when the profile is wiped. Perhaps deleting the outlook account and then wiping that folder will help.

I'll keep you updated.
