Sure, but the About box displays much more information than just the VS version, it queries other bits and bobs which have been added on, and that takes time, so it's better to do that only when the user requests the information.
In fact, when I went into About the other day, one of the installed bobs threw an exception and a message box popped up -- that would be unwelcome upon every time I start VS.
And as already covered, I always start VS without having it open a file or solution. The same with Word and Excel, I have them start empty and then I tell them what I want to do.

Understood. I was just proposing the version# should be part of the opening banner. No about tab or anything just the version number. As I said in later post just a thing with me. I have version number be first piece of info for the start of all my own programs. No biggy.

I'm not a fan of splash screens and such; to me they're just meaningless information which distracts my brain from the task. If I want it, which I rarely do, then Help/About does the trick.
Oh, one other thing, with VS only, is that I have three versions installed on my work laptop, and I have a button for each, so when I click "VS 2015", that's what I get.

Do you always use the same starter?

I always do.
I have wondered how easy would it be, given a series of someone's shared Wordle plays and knowing the final word in each case, to correctly deduce someone's starter word.
For example, I now know 3 letters that @OriginalGriff uses and 2 letters that aren't there.

Yes - it has the most common three vowels, and two very common consonants - so it covers a lot of possibilities.
And who knows? It must come up one day!

I have been using the same starter for months! It seems you and I may be using the same word!

Oh, BTW: You have to give the right name with an "@" code - OG[^] is someone who hasn't logged in since 2001!
If you go to the member homepage, the "@" code is in the top left corner - mine is @OriginalGriff

I had my education in the ages when 'timesharing' was something new.
Our textbooks tried to make us believe that it let you behave as if you had an entire machine to ourselves.
All us IT students insisted that timesharing was what made you realize that you did not have the machine to yourself.
