Start up text menu no longer appearing

[bytebeast]

My start up screen is appearing with only my ansi image, but text menu under ansi image is no longer under it. This started happening about 1 week ago.

If i remove everything under ~/local/nvim/{state,share} , then it recreates everything and it works for a little bit...but then disappears after a few times.

can you link / paste your config please?

it sounds like something may be happening with your oldfiles, not sure it's related to alpha but I don't know what your config is like so I don't know how to help

posted my config below

This the config i'm using with lazyvim:

-- omitted, no longer relevant.

      -- close Lazy and re-open when the dashboard is ready
      if vim.o.filetype == "lazy" then
        vim.cmd.close()
        vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("User", {
          pattern = "AlphaReady",
          callback = function()
            require("lazy").show()
          end,
        })
      end

i have a feeling this is the problem, the detection of open buffers on startup recently became more robust

Found the issue. Commenting this line, fixed it.
