    Hi @Greg Booth

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

    For Visual Studio Community edition, we do require periodical online sign-in to continue using it without interruptions. 

    In an offline environment, Professional and Enterprise editions might be a better choice. 

    Sincerely,

    Anna
