Photoshop 22.5 : Still huge lag while using hue/saturation sliders on Windows 10

Hi, I'm on windows 10 and I have both photoshop 21.0.3 and 22.5 on my computer and I can report a big lag in the hue/saturation sliders in 22.5 (when it's perfectly fine in 21.0.3). There's also a lag for "color replacement" and "brightness/contrast" sliders (the lag is a bit less important for "color replacement" though still sensible). To be clear I drag the cursor of the mouse/pen along the slider and the arrow of the slider is lagging way behind, and then it catches up without having crossed the remaining length of the slider.
Those issues happen both with the mouse or a cintiq pen. The lags are more important if the resolution or the size of the image increases.
It's very very annoying. Please please please fix this. I don't have a very fancy use of photoshop but those are basic functions and I'm unable to work with that. I still have to use a version that is now more than a year old while still paying for updates...

@jeromea13244388 Sorry that the issue persists. Would you mind sharing the configuration of your computer?

For info, the problem remains with the latest photoshop update from today.

Maybe an indication of something : the  lag is less pronounced if I use the hue/saturation tool on a single layer 300dpi file than if I use it with the same image but 600dpi and not "flattened".

I also tried to check for answers on the message board... Apparently the common answer was "hide the rulers", well I tried and it doesn't change anything.

Hi, thank you for replying, I work on a PC with an intel core i7-2600cpu 3,4 ghz and 12 Go of ram, with windows 10 family x64, version 20H2, build 19042.985 with a Nvidia graphic card (driver version 8.1.961.0).
My performance settings in photoshop are as follow :
75% of memory left to photoshop

history states : 40

cache levels : 6

cache title size : 128k

The same settings I use with my 21.0.3 version. Changing them in 22.5 doesn't solve my problem.
I tried to reset the preferences and it didn't change anything to the problem. The sliders of color balance, hue/saturation and brightness/contrast are all lagging. Strangely, the hue/saturation are the slowest ones.
A point maybe worth mentioning is that I downgraded to 21.0.3 last year because the sliders of the color replacement panel were slow as well and with 22.5 (I don't know which update changed it) they're quite normal (though a bit more slower than with 21.0.3).

As always, I updated to the last version aaaand it's still lagging !

I don't understand why and how this constant issue is not the n°1 priority for Adobe but here it is.
