I just updated to CC2026 including the ACR 18.0. But I've noticed that when I opened a raw-file and during the selection of a preset a messsage appeared that the support of the GPU is stopped due to an unknown failure.  This happened nearly all the time, sometime only after the third file.

When this issue appeared I've to restart not only ACR but also Bridge. 

My operation system is Win10 with the lastest updates.

I too use Adobe CC and ACR 18.0 (Windows 11)  I frequently get GPU acceleration errors or crashes.  It may happen when masks are applied in ACR.  All my drivers Nvidia and Intel are up to date.  I use Nvidia.  Memory usage was increased from 70% to 85%.  This changed worked for a couple of days before it happened again.  Under Camera Raw Preferenes/Performance, I set either auto or custom.  This usually says the computer has limited acceleration.  Under Help, I ran GPU compatibility and that stated graphic processor is compatible.  I've read many of the articles from Adobe but I am no computer Geek.  It would be nice to have this not happen or Adobe say it is a bug they are working on.  I did read that masking could be a possible cause.  Please help :).
