Research direction
Start by locating the startup splash-screen loading path and how the custom theme file splash.png is handled, then reproduce the issue with a transparent PNG on Windows 11. Done means a themed splash screen renders on startup whether splash.png has transparency or not, with coverage for the reported case.
