Unable to change print settings 95% of the time, always have to restart the program

In addition to the advice from Sameer, try holding the spacebar when clicking on Print. That will reset the print dialogue.

Hey, ​@Troy22932790qu23. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I'll need more information to help you figure this out. Please share a video of the issue and the system info from Photoshop Help > System info. Copy and paste it into a text document, then upload and attach it here.

Do you know if this happens with the specific documents? Is this image stored on an external drive or in a folder associated with cloud backup services? Working through a network or external drive is unpredictable & is not recommended. Head here to learn more: https://adobe.ly/3A2G2zK.

Before you go to File > Print, go to Edit > Purge > Clipboard and check if that helps.

If not, ensure there are no stale preferences in 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 give Photoshop a fresh start as a new install. Let me know how it goes.

Thanks!
