I cant depend on this software.. Photoshop is totally unreliable and it's beyond frustrating now.

Ok, I've been continued using Photoshop as I detailed in a previous post.  After doing multiple corrections to a damaged photo, none of the tools work.  I can switch from tool to tool, but the cursor remains as an arrow irregardless of the tool selected and does nothing.  I can move the scrolling bar up and down, but the document (i.e., damaged picture) remains static.  I can save the picture with the changes made up to this point.  Then, I not only have to get out of the document, but then close and reopen Photoshop in order to continue working.

Ok, I understand your frustration.  Photoshop was getting increasingly slow and would freeze or crash.  I tried several things.  I uninstalled Photoshop and reinstalled a previous version.  I upgraded to Microsoft Windows 11 Pro.  I installed a Photoshop plug-in to track the error.  Then...the thing that fixed it totally was to uninstall Photoshop using the remove my saved preferences option.  I reinstalled the latest version, Photoshop 23.4.1.  Holy cow.  It's back to being fast and responsive.  Most importantly, it works...at least so far.

Please stop with the venting and irrelevant claims. 

Please read this (in particular the section titled "Supply pertinent information for more timely and effective answers”)

Hi Juan,

You didn't say which version of PS you are using (Help menu > About), but 23.4.1 was released an hour before you posted. Please give us the number, not "latest".

You didn't tell us your Windows OS either, only that it is not the latest.

If you have old hardware and an old OS, then running the latest version of Photoshop is not likely to work well. When things stop working, you have two choices:

• Upgrade your computer and OS to meet or exceed the recommend system requirements (ignore minimum).

• Install and use a previous version of the software that will work with your current system. ProDesign Tools has some direct downloads to previous versions and they will run with your paid subscription.

What is your Photoshop question? 

From Adobe (community forums):
"Currently, the community on community.adobe.com is used as a destination for customers to ask questions and engage in peer-to-peer conversations. IOW, this is a user-to-user support forum. The Adobe Support Community is a place to ask questions, find answers, learn from experts, and share your knowledge. Because we are a community used by people of all ages, cultures, and people at work, we carefully moderate its content".

If you have problems or need answers from other users who volunteer their time to help, do so in a discussion topic and message body, whereby you post specifics (what's the problem or issue, or the question) and provide some information about your operating system, version of the software you're asking about and steps to illustrate your problem.

If you want Adobe to be viewing what you post, there are two ways based on what you are hoping to report:

If you wish to report what you believe is a bug, you so by following these guidelines:
https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-bugs/how-do-i-write-a-bug-report/idc-p/12932310#M55898

If you wish to provide a feature request, you do so by following these guidelines (then make a request in the product forum):
https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-ideas/how-do-i-write-a-feature-request/idi-p/12386378

Lastly, no one forces you to update the product immediately, you might consider turning OFF Auto Update in Adobe Creative Cloud.  Update after you know the product has been out awhile while understanding and accepting the fact that no software from any company is bug free.
