Recently updated to the latest version of Photoshop and now it crashes when opening more than 10 not extemely huge files at the same time. Enormous pain when it was able to open A LOT of really BIG files before the upgrade.

It opens the files, then hangs on the last file, then goes down.

Windows 11.

When Photoshop crashes, this is the first thing to do, try resetting your Photoshop preferences. Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (macOS) immediately after launching Photoshop. You will be prompted to delete the current settings. You can also reset preferences upon a quit if Photoshop is running by going into General Preferences>General>Reset on Quit.

 

If that doesn't fix the issue:
Go to Preferences > Performance..., uncheck Multithreaded Compositing, and restart Photoshop.
Still crashing? 
Go to Preferences > Performance... click Advanced Settings... and uncheck "GPU Compositing" - then restart Photoshop. Still, crashing? 
Go to Preferences, Settings>Image Processing, and try changing the "Remove tool processing" from "Faster" to "More stable." Still, Crashing? 

 

Make sure you have enough scratch disk IF the crashing issue only takes place with all these multiple images you're trying to deal with!
