PS 2019 is horrific [branched from "Having issues with PS 2018"]

This last update is horrific.

All file open associations with psds, ai files, everything lost in Windows 10.

Can no longer open pdfs in Illustrator.

Photoshop artboard not refreshing when turning layers on or off.

Moving artboard sometimes causes artwork to appear stretched.

This is just what I noticed in the first 10 minutes. How could Adobe not find this in weeks of "testing"???

    There is a new processor in PS 2019 and it makes PS faster; however, there are also some issue with older computer - maybe some newer one also. You can turn off the new feature in the preferences:

    Definitely appreciate the suggestion, but I tried it and to no avail. Plus I have an i7-7700HQ at 2.8 GHz with 16 GB RAM and a GeForce 1070 with 3 GB of dedicated memory. All drivers updated.

    I mean... what more could this software possibly need to run? Blood? Tears? Cause I've given both of those, too.

    New issues since yesterday...

    - 3D extrusion didn't work until I restarted Photoshop 3 times

    - Resizing an eps in Photoshop caused the artboard (not my screen) to flicker repeatedly

    A lot of these things are hard to replicate--but to say Adobe CC is buggy is an understatement.

    When you compare CC 2019 release to a release like CS6 when it was first release CC 2019 is fantastic.  Adobe has release some very buggy versions of Photoshop.  It took Adobe five months to release the first update to CS6 which fixed 506 core issues in CS6.  Cs6 was extremely unstable before the first update, for me it was unusable.  I always keep some old versions of Photoshop for insurance.  Currently I have CS6, CC 2014, CC 2018 and now CC 2019.   I un-installed CC 2015, cc 2015.5 and CC 2017 because of bugs. When there are new Photoshop features and I always expect to find bugs in the new features like I found in CC 2019 Frames feature. We are Adobe testers.
