Lag when connected to the web

Hi @PixelTonic, I'm just checking in to see if the suggestion helped or if you are still running into this issue? Let us know how things are going. Happy to keep troubleshooting with you if needed. Thanks! ^CH

Hey, @PixelTonic. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I'll need more info to help you figure this out. I reviewed the account you used to log in and an active subscription. 

Is this a personal machine, or does an IT team manage the device? If yes, ensure all the Adobe Network endpoints are whitelisted: https://adobe.ly/4iKsXwk 

If it is a personal machine, temporarily disable any VPN, Antivirus, browser plugin, or Firewall program that can control how your computer connects to the internet.

Try launching Photoshop while holding the SHIFT key to skip loading any plugins that have their own activation calls. Also, while using Photoshop, which Panels are active? Try closing the Library panel from Window > Libraries, as it requires the Creative Cloud Libraries service to connect and function.
