    Hey, ​@monu_0908. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. You've got some good advice from ​@Ged_Traynor. Please share the system info from Photoshop Help > System info > Copy & paste into a text document > upload & attach here. 

     

    Memory spikes like these, in most cases, indicate corrupted preferences. 

    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 2026 > Rename > Adobe Photoshop 2026. old), You can restore these preferences later if needed.(https://adobe.ly/4860qM9)
    • Restart the computer.

    These changes will provide a fresh start to Photoshop, much like a new installation.

     

    Let me know how it goes.

    Thanks!

    @monu_0908 if Adobe Camera Raw is causing the issue, try resetting the ACR preferences

    Also have a look at the ACR troubleshooting guide
