How can I disable IDE talking to external websites?

[Der schöne Günther 316]

Since about 12 hours ago, my Delphi IDE will spawn about two dozen Internet Explorer "Script Error" dialogs on every launch. I will have to dismiss every single dialog before I can continue.

 

I can't understand why the IDE would have to use a full web browser to talk to domains I don't even know, but I'd like to disable it and get back to work. Is there a package I can disable for this "integration"?

 

My only workaround is disabling internet access for the VM Delphi is running on, waiting for the IDE to launch and then turn it back on.

My guess would be that it is the welcome page that does this, so you could try to customise it removing all the stuff that gets content from the internet.

Unfortunately, no.

 

Even after deleting the entire WelcomePage folder from the installation directory, the problem remains exactly the same.

For older Delphi and newer but for often for different packages I put underscores in front package data/descriptions in Known IDE Packages which I do not want loaded. 

 

Delphi packages I have disabled by prefixing their description with an underscore (and why) « The Wiert Corner – irregular stream of stuff

I have disabled the "Embarcadero Community" toolbar in the IDE and the issue seems to be gone now 🤞
