P: Camera Raw as a Filter (not the plugin) freezes Photoshop on use

I am STILL freezing up when trying to use the camera raw filter in both PS and Bridge. If I am opening a new file I cant open it in PS, I have to open it in Bridge then go to Edit In Phgotoshop so I can bypass PS trying to open in Camera RAW and I have CTRL ALT DEL because the computer freezes. This is late Nov 2024 so Adobe still hasnt fixed the problem. And for as much money as they charge on the subscription, this is unacceptable. Seems every other week creative cloud is doing an update and they cant seem to fi this issue. The very reason I ended my subscription this month and will be giving Capture 1 a try.

I'm having this same problem now.  It only started a few days ago.  I've unstalled & re-installed Photoshop 2025, but the prblem still there.  I have even installed the last version of Photoshop 2024 & have the same problem. 

It's driving me mad!  Any help/advice gratefully accepted. 
I have a 2019 Macbook Pro with a 1TB SSD (plenty of storage on it & I am running MacOS Sequoia 15.1)

Update as on 22-10-2024.

version :

Photoshop 2025 with updtes

Light room 2025 with updates

Both Photoshop Camera raw & Light room freeze, when the mask tool is cliked. Tried resetting prefereces, tried reintalling. Nothing works. My work has completeky halted as photoshop is no more usable. 

BTW, when you click the mask icon, why does camera raw automatically find people. Absolutely uneccassary.

This is happening to me.  Is there a solution?

I am having same issue. Adobe photoshop freezes as soon as i press camera raw and can't even close adobe with out forcing it.  I have tried updating to the creative cloud's last version and changing preferences. Nothing seems to work 

This is my screen, I've tried removing all Adobe applications and reinstalling older versions and nothing seems to work. Any help would be most appreciated. 

Unfortunately no. The computer that I continue to have issues with is not my machine. My client issued a Mac Studio to me to use with an older version of PS that I am not allowed to update. Even on my personal machine, I am still on 25.2.0 and haven't got around to updating that yet...mainly because I haven't had to work from that machine so much lately. I will update that and see if it makes a difference. I did notice that it happened less frequently when on 25.2.0 with "Export Clipboard" turned off, but not sure if that was coincidental. Thanks!!!

This started happening today for me. I have a file open and select Camera Raw Filter and it renders the app but not the image. 

Yep. It's in the latest build as well. I have sonce downgraded to 25.7 as it freezes less often when accessing Camera Raw as a filter.
