I do not get a crash report, it just cuts off and I have restart the app. This happened in 2023 after a update. It was the eyedropper

If resetting the preferences hasn't helped, the next thing to do is try turning off the GPU in Photoshop. Go to Preferences > Performance and uncheck "Use Graphics Processor". If this works, you probably need to update your video card drivers.

The first thing you'll want to do is reset the preferences and see if that fixes things: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#reset-preferences

 

If that doesn't work, are you getting a crash report? If so, submit it and make sure to include your email address so we can look it up on our end.
