Photoshop Beta takes forever to open on my high end laptop

Paying for whole creative cloud subscription and still got a photoshop beta version that does not open after multiple tries. Sometimes it opens on 15th try. This is not good. Why you charging for a bad software. Keep it free if we need to wait that long to open app. 

 

If app is opened, it takes forever again to open a image to edit. Software full of bug. Old photoshop was good. New one is ruinned by bad developers.

 

Correct answer Kevin Stohlmeyer

At this point it might be worth uninstalling and running a complete cleanup of Adobe installs via the CC Cleaner tool then run a fresh new reinstall.

The cleaner tool can be found here:

Even Photoshop 2024 has the same issue. What would you suggest now?

@Sigmadeep Photoshop version 25.9.1 is opening fine for me on both my Windows 11 PC's, have you tried manually resetting your Photoshop preferences

Remember to back up your settings before doing the preference reset

@Sigmadeep To be clear - participation in the Photoshop Beta program is completely voluntary.

What you are paying for is the public Creative Cloud software which includes Photoshop 2024.

You should not be using Photoshop Beta for production work - it is meant as an environment to test new features prior to public release.

 

That aside, if you can go to your Help Menu/System Info and copy and paste the results here we can try to troubleshoot why you are having issues.
