Photoshop 2022 Freezes Unexpectedly on Windows 10

• Has changing the Auto Save time to 1 hour provided a work around for the original issue? Or maybe this is just a coincidence? 
• This is the most current graphics driver from nVidia
• I would consider keeping the OpenGL Photoshop as "Use global setting" and not having the OpenGL specific to NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080. You can even have it "Auto-select"
• The age ofWindows 10.0.19043.1348 could also be in conflict with some drivers. It's a balance between updates and drivers. I had to struggle recently with similar issues using nvidia and wacom drivers and windows security updates.

• You may also try and go to Preferences > Technology Previews, and check the item Deactivate Native Canvas, then restart Photoshop. 

In the end we really need a set of steps, if there is any additional steps you may think will help please let us know.

@FlavioSousafotografia You might be hitting something altogther different: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-bugs/p-file-could-not-be-edited-because-adobe-photoshop-2022-could-not-be-launched-error-message/idi-p/12518823 

i have the same issue and some similar hardware and some different ones. And i notice some different behaviour from the one related above. In my case it freezes everytime i open, but only after a few seconds ( 30 sec ) . i tried not to use the graphics card ( nvidia 1060 6gb) , i tried to not open plug-ins, (only one i had were Topaz Ai Sharp. and Noise) . i reinstalled photoshop twice already. i notice other strange behaviour, if i use "open in photoshop" in lightroom classic the program does not even open anything, not even the splashscreen, and it does not shows up in task manager. And the last strange behaviour i notice it is the fact that right after photoshop freezes, i tried to close in task manager but it does not appear there, i have to close the window of task manager and re-open , and then i shows up, and then i can force to close the process. My main specs are : AMD Ryzen 7 1800X / 32,0GB Dual-Channel Flare x @ 1197MHz (15-15-15-39) / ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. PRIME X370-PRO (AM4) / 2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB (ASUStek Computer Inc).

Greetings Ken,

Would like to gather more info and see if we can to the bottom of this... 

Would you mind providing the Device specifications?

1. Right-Click My Computer
2. Copy the Device specifications or a screen shot
3. attach to this thread.

Or run dxdiag.exe from the start menu and copy the System information. 

When I disabled the lesser graphics processor in Windows Device manager as suggested in step 8, all hell broke loose. Things began to misbehave in my regular Windows programs other than Photoshop. I had to re-enable using the onboard, lesser graphic card. Even after doing this, I noticed Photoshop was once agrain freezing. It was repeatable for a while in that I would duplicate the background layer, change it to a smart object, run the Nik filter Analog Efex Pro followed by using the Camera Raw filter. I stopped using Nik's Analog Efex Pro and the problem disappeared for a while. Later in the day I again used Analof Efex Pro without incident. There is also another thing that I did. In the Windows Graphics setting, I turned on the Use Hardware Acceleration.

I do not believe the problem is solved. as an ex-programmer, I would guess that Photoshop is not properly handling values returned from the functions it calls, whether the function is a filter or a selection. And again, the seemingly random nature of the problem "smells" like an unitialized variable.

Also in thinking about the problem, I noticed the freeze up problem a short time before Photoshop 2022 was released. I am not sure how much before the release, maybe several weeks.

And just to reiterate a statement from the very beginning post, I do not have any problems with any other software on this computer; only Photoshop.

I thought I posted a reply. Just in case something went wrong, here it is again. I added Photoshop and Sniffer and changed the setting for OpenGL rendering GPU to my NVidia card. I also followed step 8 and disabled the lesser graphics processor in Windows Device manager.

Here are two screen shots.

I had to add Photoshop and Sniffer to the list. I changed the settings for OpenGL rendering to NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080. The settings in Photoshop were already set to the NVidia card before the change. I also followed step 8 in the link you provided and using Windows Device Manager, disabled the onboard, less powerful graphics processor. I included two images for you to view.

I notice you have two cards. Try step 7 from the troubleshooting steps here to set NVIDIA card as the primary high performance card: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/troubleshoot-gpu-graphics-card.html 

Jeffrey, after posting my last comment, this morning the freeze up happened several times. So the problem is not solved. As an ex-programmer, it seems like there is an unitialized variable somewhere in the code ... may help your developers search for the cause.
