6/22/24 Freezing Issue

As of late, I have run into a critical issue. Soon after opening a file, even a new one; Photoshop becomes unresponsive. This means I can't select any tools, save, or even close the window. I HAVE to task manager, end task -- my work never saves. I have never run into such an overbearing issue before, so I don't know where to start with this. I have the latest version, I have never had problems runningg the program, even when working in 4k files. Help?

Start by resetting your preferences manually after backing them up.

Back up your settings first

Also, check to see if your computer meets the system requirements (especially your graphics card)

Let us know if either of these help (or not).
