Elements 24 keeps freezing in photo editor.

freezing only occurs in editor.    Always happens when I am editing photos.  Does not happen on opening photo but will usually occur when I have almost finished.  Extremely frustrating as I have to close my laptop down which results in loss of all the editing to my photo.   I have tried multiple suggested fixes,to no avail.  My Dell laptop meets all the necessary requirements for installing Elements.   

Any help appreciated,

    What kind of editing causes the freeze?

    Meeting the minimum requirements may not be sufficient for certain kinds of edits.  How much RAM do you have?  What are the pixel dimensions of the images you are working on?  How many layers are you creating in your edits?
