Photostory Deluxe 2025 hangs at the intro screen and Task Manager has to end the program. Very annoying as the splash screen insists on running on top of other apps. I had no problem with the previous iteration.

Running 64 bit Win11 Pro v. 25H2 on a Dell Inspiron 16 plus, Core i7-12700H @ 2.3 GHz, 24 MB cache, 40 Gb RAM, 877 Gb free on a 1.8 Tb Crucial T710 NVMe SSD drive. Integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics using 20 Gb shared RAM.

I have let the program run for several hours without any progress.

Please advise - Jim Warters
