netX Studio startup is slow as it loads the last project that was opened before - how to fix this?
Is there a way to always start netX Studio without a project?

Yes. The startup project can be disabled from the netX Studio preferences:

1. Select 'Edit > Preferences' from the main menu
2. Open 'General > Projects and Solutions' on the right-hand side
3. Uncheck the 'Open last project on startup' option then click 'OK':
   

The next time netX Studio is started, the last project will not be loaded.
