P: Freezing during sleep

Possible external hard drive attached to PC that sleeps? I've got one, and I have this problem. I remember a couple of years ago, Dreamweaver had a similar issue, giving error messages. It has something to do with external hard drives that would put themselves to sleep after so much time of inactivity.

I'm also having the same problem after the 2019 upgrade.  I have to go into Task Manager to close PS 2019 and them restart PS.  It only takes 10 to 15 minuets of non-use before it freezes? 

Mine completely freezes the pc, can't even get task manager to appear. 

Same here. Brand new PC with Radeon RX Vega M Graphics Card. Photoshop is not responding after sleep mode and i have to end the task. 

I have a nearly brand new monster PC and I am seeing this same issue.  A sleep will hang Photoshop and make it completely unresponsive.  I have to kill the process in task manager, and then it starts working again fine.

Having the same problem here too

Looking for hints. This is what greets me after PS falls asleep:

This system has been a veritable workhouse with CC 2018, and no changes in my Chrome setup or usage has changed since before I installed 2019

What else would be useful info for troubleshooting, Jeffrey?

It most certainly can be a system/environment specific condition. So far we’re unable to reproduce the problem. If we can figure out what the commonality is to reliably reproduce the issue, we can investigate a fix.

I have the same problem here!
It is NOT the computer's fault. My computer is (relatively) old, too, but it's powerful enough to render 4K movies on Adobe Premiere Pro CC, that I can run without problems, and also I can run Illustrator, Lightroom, and InDesign, all newest versions.
And I used to run easily Photoshop CC that was the current Photoshop until last month.
So I don't buy that crap that it's the computer's fault. It's Photoshop's fault, and for the price I pay every month for the full Creative Cloud subscription, they MUST fix it!!

Don't buy the crap that it's your system's fault! If Windows 10 can run on it, so should Photoshop!
