    This made me curious. Most people struggle to get to work at all, but you did and decided you don't want it?  What's the problem?

    30bit color causes a kernel error in my Nvidia Quadro card which makes Photoshop crash after I open it.  This problem started after version 19.1 came out in January.  I've been running 19.0.1 with 30bit color, but wanted to upgrade.

    Ah, I see. Thanks for satisfying my curiosity. Several people (myself included) have reported problems getting 30 bit color to work with the latest Quadro driver and/or the Windows 1803 update. Still don't know which one broke it.
