I appreciate the time spent in reviewing and sending a possible solution, however the internet connection isn't the issue, at least for me.

The issue I described is specifically for 2025. 2014-2024 do not behave like this. Honestly, 2024 was acting like this up until a month or two ago.

The issue is the loading of the program and the errors, none of which are internet related. However if necessary I will prove it with ping test as described in the linked article.
