This is intentional. I had to disable the Start module, because it relies on the Web module, which depends on insecure QtWebkit. You can still use the application, except you won't see the start screen. You can select the desired workspace from the View menu, and use it as usual.

The next release of FreeCAD will support Qt5, so we can bring back this functionality once it's released.
