Content Aware Fill Problems

Question

At one time, I could extend my image by using the crop tool and Photoshop would automatically fill the new space by content aware. In the last couple of updates, that went away and I cannot figure out how to get it back. Every suggestion I find doesn't work and freezes up my computer (lasso tool, unticking a box). I can't even get a screen shot to show the problem. Can someone help me with this? I am an artist, and not so tech savvy. And Adobe, please, stop changing settings when you update. Thanks everyone!!!

I can't show you any further steps bc that's when it locks up and it won't let me screen shot when it locks up. Thanks for your help!!

nevermind---just figured it out. Selected area with magic wand and edit>fill>content aware. Just in case anyone else has problems 🙂

I see the Crop tools Content Aware option grayed out when I'm editing a document and the document has a layer that is a vector layer or a smart object layer. Its not grayed out for a background layer or multiple raster layer and it works in PS 2021.
