searching for a file to open in photoshop freezes for minutes

Dear Adobe,

I am using an M2 MBP running Sonoma 14.1.1, using either Photoshop Beta 25.3.0 Or Photoshop 25.1.0 either seems to freeze for minutes if I go to open file, then search for a raw file by name. It is extremely frustrating to have workflow slow to this extend performing a simple task.

I find it equally frustrating that once I processed and resaved a raw file as say a jpg then decide to alter the colour the file opens with a suffix no matter what when all I want is to process settings, then run an action that will save the file as a jpg in the same folder and automatically overwrite the first file. If it is not is not possible to rework a file then run an action to scale and save that file overwriting a previous version, actions appear to be somewhat useless.
