I'm having the same issue. If I try to apply a stroke either from the menu or via a layer effects, Photoshop totally freezes and I have to force quit. Hope they fix this soon. I have a new, top of the line, iMac with almost maxed RAM, and an SSD hard drive so processing shouldn't be a problem.

Same thing happend to me. I was adding layer styles to a group of text of 4 text layers (2 single letters and 2 four letter words) grouped into a folder. I applied a stroke to the group then it froze and had to force quite as noted above.

I saw a post about changing performce to a legacy setting but it didn't help so I had to roll back to 2019.

 

2020 doesn't seem ready yet.

If you turn off the Graphics Processor in the Performance settings the Crash no longer occurs. Temporary fix, I know, but it works.
