PS Beta stability compromised with subsequent updates

Please work on stability before pushing updates even if it's a Beta. Up until a few versions ago, there were very few issues.

 

During the last month's updates, transparency was completely broken for me.

 

The last version from a week ago made RAW files opened in ACR and then opened as windows in PS become non-visible effectively allowing me to only export them in order to further edit with layers.

 

Just earlier today I naively updated yet again, and now it hanged with two pdf files opened,  not allowing me to Win+D to desktop and having to terminate via Task Manager.

 

I can revert to using the non-beta but this is pretty annoying. Increasingly burdening PS with experimental features at the expense of basic stability makes the Beta program feel like an Alpha, and I don't want to be an involuntary QA tester. Pretty lame.

The issue keeps worsening. I just updated again to see if the issues were rectified, now as soon as I pressed 'Open' in the ACR module, Photoshop presented me with an error report and crashed. I guess it's time to leave it aside and waste some time setting up the stable version to my preferences. So annoying.

Seconded I'm also cautious about updates.
