Photoshop CC 2017 Unusable slow

I'd really like to get this issue resolved asap, so if anyone would be willing to work directly with me on it, please contact me directly at:  first name dot last name at adobe dot com

I'm specifically looking for someone who is seeing all aspects of Photoshop run slow, and preferably someone in the CA bay area that I could visit in-person (anywhere west of the rockies would work too).

Thanks,

Adam

I don't know if this relates to the main topic but I am having brush lagging issue. To further breakdown the problem ; when trying to paint with a mouse, doesn't matter what dpi or spacing I use mouse cursor is always ahead of the paint stroke. They are not acting together so you end up seeing a race between cursor and the stroke. What might be the cause of it ? Thanks.

In my case, when I try to save a new photoshop image, regardless of format, I get the dreaded spinning wheel.  I end up having to 'force quit' the program and of course, lose any work I had done to the image - not happy with this glitch what-so-ever, as any of you might imagine.  Yes - Adobe needs to fix PS 2017 bugs straight away - I plan on editing a bunch of family images to print for Christmas gifts, etc.....This couldn't be a worse time for a new version to come out "buggy".

Ok, that's a bit phreaky but here's where the thread is currently at.

There are several types of user on here with a mixture of problems, some of which might not relate to the OP.

If you're busy like me and are in the middle of a project then go back to the previous version and get some work done

If your machine is maxing out on disk activity, CPU, memory just go back to the previous version.  It's a no-brainer.

If you have the problem described by the OP where Photoshop is going glitchy or slow, particularly when opening the top menus then you can solve the problem if you want to by disabling panels in Photoshop and not opening any third-party or internet enabled panels while using Photoshop or the problem will appear as soon as you do.

I can completely stop the OP problem here by killing any CEPHtmlEngine processes and disabling panels and not opening them. Check task manager/monitor to see them or not.

IMO it's not really worth the bother because I do use third-party panels so unless you want to go and tweak services/processes on your machine just go back to the previous version.

As for the AI/Photoshop memory leak type problem, I have found that a lot of network activity happened and that might be to the new "sync" functions but after a long while of having both apps open and not the CC app. I don't have the problem anymore.  If your machine can't take all the resource usage maybe better to once again go back to the previous version.

I think that PS is overloaded by useless stuff like Stock Photos, Mockups, 3D which actually won't work. Why? Because if someone needs Stock photos or Mockups, goes to iStock or Shutterstock and download it. If someone needs 3D , then runs 3D software. Stop making PS software for everything...

You added a lot of new features draining our CPUs and Internet connections on every start-up of PS and forgot to work on most important things like TYPE TOOL. I did everything you wrote in this topic and nothing was helpfull for me. All of new features are SLOW. Selecting TEXT in text area is lagging my computer. Running AI next to PS with no documents opened is making my PC working on 99%.

Type tool worked fine since 80's and then Adobe had an idea to implement font previews. And?.... Type tool became slow even if font preview option is turned off. Suspicious..

Last good working version was CS5 or CS6. Then you started to overload software with a lot of useless features, publishing it with underdeveloped code - THAT IS AN SOLUTION OF OUR ISSUES.

If the application was free, I would not say a word about Adobe's decissions. But if I pay for professional tool I EXPECT professional tool. And tips like "downgrade to previous versions or turn off some features" are silly.

Are Adobe developers working on update fixing the problem or just read forum posts trying to persuade users to disable the new features, downgrade software or trying to tell that our hardware is reason of slow CC apps, not their crappy, not optimized code which is not able to use hardware correctly?

When I create new software I test it on many devices before publishing it. How is it possible that Adobe hasn't known issues before publishing CC2017 if there is so many users reporting serious problems with Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, Lightroom... How, lol? Or maybe it was:

- Sir, our products are working slow on some computers. What should We do?

- Mehh... publish CC 2017 in 2016, they will buy it because they have subscriptions... We will fix it by update later. Publish it, time, time, money, money!!!11oneone ADD MORE 3D FEATURES TO PHOTO APP, IT WILL WORK EVEN FASTER!!! ADD INTERNET FEATURES AS STOCK OR MOCKUPS!!!! IT WILL BE PERFECT!!! Doh...

CC is our work tool... How long have we wait for stable, fast version of CURRENT software?... It's almost December here...

I really hate some of the updates to Adobe CC. Just to create a new document, the software now has to go to the internet to get all of the new document templates. What used to take less than a second now takes nearly a minute. And this is one only one example. It shouldn't be necessary for the software to access the internet for every little simple action, and it shouldn't require 60 to 180 seconds every time you do. This is not an improvement when it severely slows down my work flow and causes additional frustration.

I have the same problems here with the latest versions of Photoshop and Illustrator.
I have tried all the suggestions in the thread but no results.

Any solution yet? I was able to downgrade and run 2015 version. Whenever I open 2017 it works fine for few minutes then it starts to freeze and slow down the computer. Here's screenshot of my Task Manager.

Well this has been fun. Upon uninstalling PS CC and Lightroom, then running CC Cleaner, I rebooted and re-installed. Upon reinstall at one reboot I got the "S.M.A.R.T. Status Bad , Backup and Replace" message which I have learned means that my HDD (Storage) has failed. 

I quit.  I blame Adobe.  I have never had problems with my 2 year old PC until installing this POS software.  NOw I can only hope that Carbonite has done its job.
