Every time I try to open layer styles my program is crashing. Ive done all updates to my system as well as my hardware but nothing seems to be working to stop the crashes

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 (macOS) 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.

If that doesn't fix the issue:
Go to Preferences > Performance..., uncheck Multithreaded Compositing, and restart Photoshop.
Still crashing? 
Go to Preferences > Performance... click Advanced Settings... and uncheck "GPU Compositing" - then restart Photoshop. Still, crashing? 
Go to Preferences, Settings>Image Processing, and try changing the "Remove tool processing" from "Faster" to "More stable." Still, Crashing?

    Hi @michael30172215erp4 is this just with one particular file or any?

    Go to Photoshop Help Menu/System Info and copy/paste details in a reply. Post only once as the system takes time to process the large amount of data.
