Is it possible to let the Arduino Q works even if it is not connected to the internet or the internet connection fail? This is beyond annoying! I have the checking for updates pop-up and have no way to dismiss it.

Thanks for your report @speccy . The Arduino developers are tracking the problem of Arduino App Lab being non-functional when it doesn't have Internet access here:

bug
### Describe the problem
Hello,
I'm working with my new Arduino UNO Q on my l… aptop with the App Lab and intend to work very often offline with it so that's why I tested it out. For my first connection on the arduino, i connected without too much of a trouble to my own WIFI and then reused it without WIFI (plugged on usb). It asked me to find a new wifi and i couldn't use the app anymore because I could not connect to WIFI (even if there is a mention that it's possible).
I'm assuming it's a bug because why would it be that way ? I suppose it would function all right as a standalone without wifi but that's not the use I look for.
Thanks you in advance
### To reproduce
Connect first to a wifi then make wifi access unavailable. Then try to code without wifi.
### Expected behavior
Being able to code without WIFI as mentionned.
