Take a look at section 7

Also try doing a clean install of the Nvidia driver from the Nvidia website

Make sure you select the Studio Driver and not the Game Ready Driver

During the install, select custom

and then select perform clean install

This is not correct for my computer. The Nvidia window has no option for "preferred graphics processor". There is only 1. Select a program: and 2. Specify the settings:

I tried everything in the Adobe multiple GPU pages. No joy. Including disabling my Nvidia graphics card (knocking out my one monitor screen) and just using the onboard Intel HD card. Still blank in Photoshop after reinstalling. Can't find the GPU.

Hi

There are issues with version 21.2/22.2.1/22.2.2 not detecting some old and not so old GPU's which I reported here.

Try resetting your Photoshop preferences, you should backup your settings beforehand

Also take a look here especially section 7

If neither of the above help, try reverting back to version 21.1.3 from the Creative Cloud app

thank you for your response, i tryed all of those steps in hope that this has to work 100%, but unfortunately it doesnt, i tryed version 21.1.3, and now with online support even the version 20.0.10. I dont know how is even possible that company so big and so famous, can not solve this exact problem, with all respect. I dont know what else can i do, probably sell my laptop or i dont know, i can't do my job just because of this...

PS: im very grateful for your response i believe that in many cases it can really help
