Notes:
- Not reproducible when "Write Permission" is set to "Internal"
- Couldn't test on iOS because choice "External (SDCard)" doesn't exist
- Not reproducible on Windows Standalone Player
- User also mentioned System Tray appearing before the Splash Screen but while testing I noticed System Tray might not appear but the pause is still happening before the Splash Screen. It also could be that System Tray is appearing but no pause is happening. So these two issue seems to be not related to each other
- Seems to reproduce only on Android 13 devices
