Constant crashes - freezes

Question

I can't do any sensible work in Photoshop 23.3.2. Randomly, I might be doing almost anything, the programme just stops working. No error box appears it just crashes. Have tried all the 'fixes', don't Save in background, don't use CPU etc. Nothing fixes it !!

Running Windows 11 with a i7 11 series processor and 64 Gb Ram

When Photoshop crashes, this is the first thing to do, try resetting your Photoshop preferences. Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) immediately after launching Photoshop. You will be prompted to delete the current settings. You can also reset preferences upon a quit if Photoshop is running by going into General Preferences>General>Reset on Quit.

Go to Preferences > Performance... and uncheck Multithreaded Compositing - and restart Photoshop.  Still crashing?
Go to Preferences > Performance... click Advanced Settings... and uncheck "GPU Compositing" - then restart Photoshop. Still crashing?
