The compatibility issue arises from the IPP SDK version in PaintShop Pro 2023 Update 2 not being up-to-date, leading to two significant problems.
- When PaintShop Pro 2023 is alive in the background, it will cause the VideoStudio 2023 launch to fail.
 - When VideoStudio 2023 SP1 is alive in the background, the “Welcome” tab of PaintShop Pro 2023 disappears when it's launched.
