Photoshop freezes when using Selection tools..

Question

I am using Photoshop 23.1 version. Recently many times it crashed / froze and I realised this is happening after using Selection tool options such as Object Selection Tool or Quick Selection Tool. I uninstalled and reloaded the software but the problem persists.

Any solution for this?

Please take a look here:

If this doesn't help reset the whole Photoshop preferences.

Another steps for trying is to deactivate the "Native Canvas" optgion and/or disable the GPU support.

Go to Preferences > Technology Previews... and check "Disable Native Canvas" - then restart Photoshop.

Go to Preferences > Performance... and uncheck Use Graphics Processor. Restart Photoshop.

If this all doesn't help please post more informations about your system.

Is your system up-to-date, especially the driver for the graphic card?
