Question

Photoshop will not come out of Minimize

After loading to Photoshop version 20 when I minimize the application and leave it sitting Minimized for a long period of time I cannot maximize the application.  I noticed this more frequently after my computer activates the screen saver or after it wakes up from sleep mode.

I am having the same issue. I've tried multiple workarounds with no success.

Windows 10

Adobe Photoshop 20.0.1 20181029

I have removed Photoshop version 20.  many functions have stopped working including. I restarted the application, restarted the computer and I still can't do common functions like create a copy of bottom layer, close or open photoshop after coming out of sleep mode.

Hopefully a fix is being worked on.  May also need to talk to someone at Adobe for getting compensation for having an application that does not work.

Same problem here, win 10, latest Nvidia drivers, Latest Photoshop, plenty of computing resources available (RAM, HDD, CPU), and every time Im using PS and I have to do something else so I put the computer to sleep, it wont come out from being minimized.

Are you listening Adobe?

I have this on Windows 10, but only started after a clean re-install. I have to remember to quit Photoshop before putting the computer to sleep, otherwise I have to force-quit to use it again after wake.

So far this is only been happening with Photoshop but since downloading the new versions I've only used photoshop and Lightroom.  Lightroom does not have this issue.

What is your operating system? Does this happen only with Photoshop or also with other applications?

I'm using Window 10

Also, in order to get the Application to work again I have to force stop the program with task manager.
