P: Splash Screen displays multiple times with (not responding)

I have noticed the Splash Screen being displayed two or three times during startup of Lr Classic 8.3 along with (not responding). My OS is Windows 10.

The problem seems to be easier to replicate when launching Lr in the Library showing the grid view.

In Preferences, the "Show splash screen during startup" option needs to be enabled.

Here are my steps to reproduce the problem:

Launch Lr Classic 8.3 and when the splash screen goes off, click on the interface - I've been clicking on a blank area of the menu bar.

The splash screen briefly shows again and Lr shows (not responding) while the splash screen is visible.

After a few more seconds, the splash screen is displayed for the third time and Lr shows (not responding) again.

Waiting for a further short while, the splash screen goes off again and Lr resumes initialising itself.

The other odd thing I have noticed is that Lightroom only seems to become unresponsive and display the splashscreen multiple times if I was last in the Library module before shutting it down (Exit).

If I was last in the Develop module, Lightroom starts up with just one display of the splashscreen and doesn't go into an "unresponsive" mode for several minutes - weird ...

Its not the multiple splash screens that are annoying - it is that Lightroom becomes unresponsive for several minutes during the startup and I have no idea why. It is during this unresponsiveness period that the splash screen will reappear one or more times.

Can you suggest how I might determine what Lightroom is doing in the background that causes it to become unresponsive? I have only noticed this behaviour with the latest release.

If it annoys you then just turn the splash screen off in preferences.

I have the same issue with the latest version (v8.4) of Lightroom Classisc and it is not so much that the splashsceen appears multiple times, but that Lightroom becomes unresponsive for a minute or so for no obvious reason. It is very annoying ....

If there is a known bug logged for this isue, could you please indicate when the bug is expected to be fixed?

I would think that two months to fix this problem is ample time. Bugs like this should have top priority and this one should have been fixed in Lr Classic 8.3.1. The development team must know what they changed to introduce this bug in 8.3 and it should be easy to fix. It should never have got past their testing before 8.3 was released. That's assuming testing is being done. There was some pre-release testing being done by selected users in the past, but that seems to be gone now. This is a shame because that testing would have picked this up before release. We seem to be paying for software that gets more and more bugs and less and less fixes.

I have the very same issue starting with the 8.3 version of Lightroom Classic. Today LR was updated to ver. 8.4. on my PC and I see the splashscreen still showing multiple times.
I'm just wondering how much time as easy issue as this one needs to be fixed.
