Illustrator and Photoshop 2022 EXTREMELY slow on Windows machine

[patricks44769834]

Recently updated to the 2022 apps. I use Illustrator and Photoshop at my business. Both have become almost unusable. I'm on Windows 11 with 16GB RAM, i7, nVidia Quadro P400. Every single thing I try to do is extremely laggy, more in Photoshop but also in Illustrator. One thing I did notice when I did this update was the fans on my PC fired up like a jet. Anyone else ran into this and found a solution?

Try removing any plugins you are using. That seemed to be my issue. The only problem is, I rely heavily on one of them for the majority of my work, so I had to reinstall it. 

Definitely reach out the customer care. They were super helpful!

The problem for me was Win 11.. For some reason all adobe applications were very VERY laggy (I use a lot of Illustrator, Photoshop and Premiere Pro)... Premiere Pro was actually unusable..had a lot of Green Screens (just like the blue screen but the problem was related to the GPU (Nvidia RTX 2060) instead of RAM).

So I went back to Win 10 and now everything is working fine.

I am having a similar issue with the latest version of Illustrator. Takes much longer to open files. This started happening about a month or so ago after a recent update. Premiere Pro is also a bit laggy. Adobe, please... less updates, better usability.

Hi @Boqueron.1969,

We are sorry to hear about your experience & delayed response. Would you mind trying the steps suggested in this helpx article (https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/optimize-illustrator-performance.html) and let us know how it goes?

Also, please confirm if you are working with the power adapter plugged in or on a battery and if the laptop chassis is warm to the touch & performance mode is checked in Windows power options or not?

Looking forward to your response.

Thanks & Regards,

Anshul Saini

I know this is an old post, but I've just updated the 2023 and my Adobe CC apps seem to run a lot better now on Windows 11
