Photoshop 25.4.0, Windows 10. Issue with selection tool

Updated to 25.4.0 this morning and I get a "Could not complete your request because of a program error." message, whenever I use the lasoo or marquee tool. It works a couple of times after restarting, then the issue starts again.

Hey,@davew68773894. I'll need more info to help you figure this out. Please share the system info from Photoshop Help > System info > Copy & paste into a text document > upload & attach here. 

 

I'll move this to discussions for now. You can begin with resetting the tool itself in this case. Right-click on the Tool icon in the Toolbar menu & select Reset Tool.

 

If this does not help, ensure there are no stale preferences in your Photoshop. Go to the location of the preference folder below and rename it to backup.

  • Windows 10/11: Users/[user name]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop [version]/Adobe Photoshop [version] Settings
  • You can press Press the Windows key > Enter 'Run' > Enter %APPDATA%\Adobe
  • Rename the Adobe Photoshop folder by adding a .old at the end. (Adobe Photoshop 2024 > Rename > Adobe Photoshop 2024. old), you can later restore these preferences if needed.(https://adobe.ly/4860qM9)
  • Restart the computer.

These changes will give a fresh start to Photoshop as a fresh install. Let me know how it goes.

Thanks!
