Well, I did reinstall NB10 into the directory without spaces and reconfigured proxy connection (Although the old one was also tested OK). I was able to download plugins now. However, I still cannot change this huge font on menus. Can anyone tell me what I can do about it? BTW, will it work if my projects are in directory with spaces? If not, I am in trouble. Per company policy they have to be on the cloud drive.

So, I created C;\Users\...\Software folder and unpacked archive there. I certainly do have all privileges in my home directory. Just few minutes ago NB froze again and I had to kill it through task manager and restart. New log file doesn’t show any errors. Previous one does show multiple network timeouts from unsuccessful attempts to download plugins. BTW, can you please post URL for the current plugin portal? I will try to download some outside of IDE.

Maybe attach a log file — just keep the mailing list address in your responses, please.

Instead of NB8.2 which was working for me (with some glitches) for several years I got the latest Netbeans 10 from netbeans.apache.org<http://netbeans.apache.org> First start was unsuccessful. It displayed the start page and froze. Did not respond to anything. I had to kill the process through the task manager. Second attempt was a bit better. At least it did not freeze. However, all menus were displayed in huge font that occupy half of the screen. I went to Options->Fonts and Colors and tried to change the font from size 27 to size 12. I was not able to do that as Netbeans popped me “Authentication Required” window. No idea why it require authentication but I wasn’t able to do it. I tried my login credentials or the one I used to register a while back on netbeans.org<http://netbeans.org> but neither worked. Same thing happened when I tried to change some other settings. Can some kind soul tell me how do I authenticate there. For the same reason I wasn’t able to download a single plugin. Download failed due to connection problems with plugin portal. When I tried to check proxy settings I got the same “Authentication Required”. So far NB10 wasn’t useful for me. I am far from the noob, only with Netbeans I am working for 20 years (even before Sun Microsystems acquired it), but this release looks half-baked to me. I do understand that Apache incubation will cause some disturbances, but did not expect so many problems.
