There is an Online/Offline Help toggle switch at the bottom right corner of the Help & Support dialog window. Your current setting might be set for Online Help.

Edit: Now that I think about it, you probably need to try the fix suggested in any of the links below. They seem to be more appropriate for the problem you described.
