Unable to load Hatch Embroidery 3 with white splash screen on startup

The issue is caused by older PCs normally pre-2015 not supporting graphics acceleration, which helps improve the Hatch home screen loading speed.

When installing new updates for Hatch V3, it will reset the graphics acceleration setting which causes the white screen to appear again.

It is highly advisable to consider upgrading your PC to a later specification that has support for graphics acceleration.
