P: Crash on using Select Subject or Object Selection Tool on Windows

Hi @David2498646303lk 

Try resetting the default for the Toolbar, does that solve this? Click the three dots at the bottom of the toolbar and select Restore Defaults.

Thank you,

Cory

If I expand it into two columns of tools, it works. It's only when the toolbar is one column the bottom sub menus won't appear. 

I've been using the object selection tool extensively this afternoon without problem, so thank you for that!

@CShubert Thanks Cory.... touch wood the object selection tool doesn't appear to be crashing any more on the latest version... however... now none of the fly-out menus below the eraser tool on the toolbar are working, so I've lost lots of functionality! I'm talking about the ones where you click and hold... like over the three dots to access the paint bucket and line tool etc, as well as the sub-selections for the pen and text tools! Any ideas?! Should I start a new thread? Cheers!

I tried absolutely everything, however, I came across a post to change a setting in the BIOS, and this appeared to fix the issue.
I have kept an Old Version of Photoshop just in case, but also have a copy of the Latest Photoshop which I regularly update, and had no issues for about 4 months. 

Thank you for the update @David2498646303lk 

A couple things to try: update to the newest Ps, 24.2, does this still happen?

or:

Go to Preferences > Technology Previews... and enable “Older GPU mode (pre 2016)” - Restart Photoshop. Does the problem persist?

Thank you,

Cory

Also Premiere Pro complains now about an incompatible video driver!

If anything it's doing it more consistently. The tool works when I select something, but as soon as I copy the selection and paste it into a different document, it starts stuttering and then just exits. I briefly had the crash report box coming up before but it's stopped again now. Is there any info I can provide to try and help? Thanks.

@CShubert  Hi Cory, thanks for the advice, but unfortunately the object selection tool is still crashing even on these drivers. I can use the tool successfully, but a short while later PS just locks up and exits.

Thanks Cory, I will try that now. Just seen I'm using Studio Drivers rather than Game Drivers, do you think that will be making any difference?

@David2498646303lk sorry to hear this.

Engineering has identified a problem with this specific driver version.

Driver date: 2022-12-22 000000.000000-000
