Photoshop Elements 2021 on Windows 10: Loading JPG from a directory takes several minutes

Hi there,

Sorry that you feel the JPG images are taking a long time to load in Photoshop Elements 2021. 

Does the problem occurs while loading only JPG images or images from a specific location(like you mentioned)? Does it help if you copy that file(s) to a different location like your desktop and then open it?

We have documented a set of troubleshooting steps that might help you resolve the issue. Please checkout this article and let us know how it goes: https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/troubleshoot-errors-freezes-install-photoshop-elements.html
