Photoshop 2026 (v 27.0.0) has started crashing
The program has been working fine for a few months but has suddenly started crashing (momentary freezes, then closes) for no apparent reason. I have tried all the fixes (each in turn) that I have found on line, but to no avail:
- Turning off all programs while PS in use
- Checking no background Adobe processes running
- Resetting preferences
- Updating graphics car driver
- Unchecking multithreaded compositing & GPU compositing
- Switching off ‘Use graphics processor’
- Adjusting memory usage - set at 70% (17185 MB available to PS)
- Clearing cache
- Checking sufficient scratch disk space
- Disabling 3rd party add-ons
I have a reasonable PC (AMD Ryzen 5 7600 6-Core Processor (3.80 GHz), 32 GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti (8 GB RAM), 2.3 TB of free space on 4.5 TB hard drive, Windows 11 Home v25H2 - 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor). I do not have Adobe Creative Cloud installed, and no auto cloud backup being used. The History States, Cache Levels and Cache Tile Size are all at the defaults (50; 4; and 1028K).
I’m at a loss on how to solve - any suggestions, please?
