After the last update 27.4, photoshop starts to freeze when I try to change the brush size or hardness. The problem occurs when I try to change the values in this window or in the "Brush settings"

If i press "alt+tab" (I use windows 11), Photoshop unfreezes, but the brush values will not change.

If i change the brush size using the "[" and "]" hotkeys, then freezes do not occur. Also, if you go back to the update 27.3.1, there are no freezes.

Here is a video example of the problem:

Yesterday, I was recommended to try resetting Photoshop preferences: https://helpx.adobe.com/ie/photoshop/desktop/get-started/settings-and-preferences/reset-preferences.html

and I mistakenly thought that the problem had been solved, but unfortunately it remained. 😓
