Slow after startup

Question

As soon as you open Photoshop, it takes about ten minutes for it to work. Every operation you try to do, whether it is selecting, deleting, or anything else, causes the software to constantly freeze and become unresponsive. You have to wait several minutes clicking on random tools for it to resume. All this, in about ten minutes.

Please try first a reset of the Photoshop's preferences to the default settings by using the steps below:

Please backup your settings before resetting the preferences. You can check:

Is your system up-to-date? Do you have installed all recent updates and patches for the operating system and the device drivers, especially the graphic driver. If you have a NVidia graphic card installed, make sure that you are using the recent Studio version of the driver, not the Game Ready version.

Please provide a copy of your 'System Info'. This can be get from the Photoshop menu item Help > System Info. There's a copy button in the System Info dialog. Press this button and paste the info into your next forum post.
