P: Crash switching between programs

[Stephen Newport]

All of my regularly used Adobe products are crashing very frequently.
Photoshop & Acrobat the most, multiple times a day
Lightroom occasionally

All up to date on OS and Adobe CC. Multiple restarts. Frequently, but not always, happens when switching from one adobe product to another. No other software on my computer is acting this way

This is very aggravating

Are you even able to launch Photoshop? At what point does it crash? If you can open the application, it may help if we could see yourPhotoshop System Info. Launch Photoshop, and select Help > System Info...and copy/paste the text in a reply.

It seems to be good now.
Can I uninstall Photoshop 2019?  I now have 2019 and 2020 on my SSD.

[J453]

Yes, you can if you'd like. https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-remove-app.html

Many of the crashes reported here should be fixed in the current version, Photoshop 2020 v21.x or later. Let us know if you're still having trouble.

I have 21.0.1. No more recent updates. However, using Mac with Mojave it crashes constantly. I use a filter and I get the spinning beach ball. I copy and paste I get the spinning beach ball. It's pretty random, and very frustrating. So no, the newest version does NOT fix a lot of the problems. This should have been taken care of long ago.

Does it crash or freeze? A spinning beach ball is a freeze not a crash.

Yes, you are correct. Sorry. It's a freeze, and I have to force quit the program. It happened five times today in the course of an hour.

Different Issue

Please reference the new conversation here: Photoshop 21.0.1: Freeze/Beachball

Get a Mac IT guy to come over and clean out cruft, reinstall the OS on top of itself, run Disk Warrior, do a clean install instead of the upgrade you did, there are several things they could try.
