Slow Performance in Illustrator/Photoshop 2022 on Windows 11

Recently updated to the 2022 apps. I use Illustrator and Photoshop at my business. Both have become almost unusable. I'm on Windows 11 with 16GB RAM, i7, nVidia Quadro P400. Every single thing I try to do is extremely laggy, more in Photoshop but also in Illustrator. One thing I did notice when I did this update was the fans on my PC fired up like a jet. Anyone else ran into this and found a solution?

    my new Windows 11 Workstation went back to acting stupid.so I did (2) things today.  Now it's working awesome, like never before!

    (1) updated Wacome Cintiq 22HD drivers via Windows update (in the Optional updates panel).  I use a large Dell monitor, 3440 x 1440 alongside a Wacome Cintiq 22HD 1920 x 1080.  I imagine it takes some work for my Nvidia RTX A2000 to balance the 2?

     

    (2) I repaired my Windows image using the latest Windows 11 Media Creation Tool following this guys  post - I think this is what did it...

    Hi @patricks44769834 & @notacyborg, 

     

    Sorry about the trouble. I would suggest you both try the following steps and let us know how it goes:

    • Rename the CEP folder to CEP.old from the following location:
      C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe
    • If that doesn't help, rename the UXP folder to UXP.old in the following locations:
      C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe
      C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\
    • If that doesn't help either, uninstall the application using the CC Cleaner tool and restart the system (most important) reinstall from the Creative Cloud Desktop app.

     

    Let us know how it goes. We'll be looking forward to your response.

     

    Thanks & Regards,

    Anshul Saini

    Latest Adobe updates seemed to fix it for me.

      Windows 11 128GB RAM, Ryzen 9 5950x, nVidia RTX 3070Ti.  Performance is terrible.  Moving the mouse over the menu system results in the jankiest movement.  This software has become trash.  Thinking of unsubscribing to Adobe.

        By build is very close to yours and the past few update cycles have killed performance. 3+ seconds and a stutter to align items in Illustrator. I'm considering alternatives as well - this is destroying my workflow.

          This will sound super stupid but I pulled my graphcs card out then put it back in and the slowness is now gone. I didn't even clean it, I was intending to take it to a computer store to get it checked... The guy at the store says sometimes they need reseating because they lose contact with the pins or something. Worth a shot.
