I have the same problems: PE 22 freezes constantly in the expert mode. After 8 photographs I have to give "Ctrl-alt- del" and start again. It's terrible and it takes days to photoshop my photo's.

Please help!! I can not find the answers on the internet. I use een updated windows 11 desktop and I use the updated PE 22.  PLEASE HELP

If you are using the Organizer and have a large catalog, the automatic media analysis that takes place in the background can be a cause of such freezes.  In the Organizer, go to Edit>Preferences>Media Analysis and  uncheck all the boxes to see if it makes a difference.  Otherwise, I suggest you contact Elements support. You can start a chat session by clicking on the blue Contact Us button under the Help &  Support menu at Adobe.com. Or you can contact Support by telephone using the numbers listed here: https://helpx.adobe.com/contact/phone.html.  With your permission, Support can take control of your computer to troubleshoot your problems.
