I have 4.14 in Windows 10 and 11. The splash screen appears, the
progress bar for opening the last previously used file fills in from
left to right, and when that's done the splash screen disappears. The
whole thing takes about two seconds. I suspect that different times of
seeing the splash screen are not due to different minor versions of GC,
but rather to running on machines of different compute speed, possessing
SSDs or traditional hard drives, and so forth.
We just had a different instance of this problem (window appearance too
brief to see)
This is why ALL such displays should at the end incorporate a delay
before closing, one or two seconds, independent of computer speed (don't
waste time in useless processing; use a system call to "sleep for X time).
LOL -- back in my working days I wrote little routines that allowed our
programmers to have their programs make a call to utilize any of the
"non-privileged" system calls (the routines being tiny programs in
assembler). The "sleep for X" was the first of them. Needed when we
began downloading/uploading between our PCs and the mainframe as time
needed to switch their PC from acting as a terminal for their mainframe
session and as an ordinary PC << when they submitted the job to do the
transfer unpredictable how long before the mainframe would start that
transfer job -- so once running the job added X seconds before
attempting the transfer with X being enough time to make the switch >>
