THANK YOU MARTINE!
- This fix worked for me (Enterprise Version 8.5) when other methods failed. My machine
was hanging when I tried to use the ALERTS tab in the console, (which isn't the easiest
thing to find).
Make sure to shut down the services as explained or you will not be able to change
the registry value.
No more splash screen for me... awesome!
