So the lag of a second or so (1000 milliseconds+) in clicking to draw or select something, with the mouse,in Photoshop, magically disappears if you run Photoshop as administrator. Yay! (Photoshop 22.2)

However... in fixing that Photoshop will no longer open a .PSD file in a folder by double clicking its icon Nothing happens. (Photoshop gets focus - mouse cursor changes to blue spinny wheel for a moment, no file is opened)

Opening said file from Photoshop's FIle Menu works as nomal.

So how do we fix the problem to fix the problem?

This doesn't appear to be a hardware issue, I'm not using a tablet and I'm seeing the issue. Instead, this appears to be some sort of conflict with the OS. We're having this looked at and we'll update the thread when we have more info

The thing to learn is for Adobe to hold a meeting with Microsoft and Wacom and get things to work nicely in harmony with one another. Not having the hardware and software at odds with one another.

I'm seeing the same behavior on my end. I see a mix of other applications which run into the same issue and those for which this works. I'll log it and see what we can learn about this.

That's not it. The file associations have not been changed and both .PSD and .PSB are associated with photoshop. It's an administrative problem.
