Photo Shop Freezes or Non Responsive When Copy Text form another Program like Word

Question

This has been an ongoing problem since the recent release of Photoshop. Photoshop becomes nonresponsive for about 3-5 minutes when copying text from another program like MS Word, for example. I have to wait to edit or save a file. Is there a fix for this?

Version Adobe Photoshop Version: 26.1.0 20241113.r.121 158e617 x64 on Windows 10 Prof and the latest version of MS Office

Hi, welcome to the Photoshop Community!

Please update Photoshop to the latest version (26.3) and check if the issue persists. If you continue to experience the same behavior, go to the Help menu in Photoshop, then System info, and copy the text. You can either paste the text as a reply here or into a text file and share the file with us.

Also, you can try to reset the preferences of Photoshop using the steps mentioned here: https://adobe.ly/3CS98TN

Please backup your settings prior to resetting the preferences. You can check: https://adobe.ly/3QldplU

Let us know how it goes!
