Have seen a few posts that say the splash screen is not able to be disabled, That statement is not quite true.
This works for both clicking the executable and also applies when directly clicking a image to open it, No splash screen popped up for me regardless.

There is a way to disable the splash through the combination of the registry and creating a shortcut for the start menu.
For the start menu you want to create a shortcut and add -NoSplash to the end of the target as shown here, "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2023\Photoshop.exe" -NoSplash.
For the images you click directly on such as .png , .jpg, .psd ... You will need to modify the registry and assuming you installed to the default location you can just copy and paste my entries into a .reg file and double click and it will change the settings so when double clicking on a image the splash screen does NOT pop up. No modifications of Photoshop needed and easily reversible.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\Photoshop.exe\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Adobe Photoshop 2023\\Photoshop.exe\" \"%1\" \"-NoSplash\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\adbps\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Adobe Photoshop 2023\\Photoshop.exe\" \"%1\" \"-NoSplash\""

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\adbps\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Adobe Photoshop 2023\\Photoshop.exe\" \"%1\" \"-NoSplash\""

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\psd_auto_file\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Adobe Photoshop 2023\\Photoshop.exe\" \"%1\" \"-NoSplash\""

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Photoshop.Image.25\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Adobe Photoshop 2023\\Photoshop.exe\" \"%1\" \"-NoSplash\""
