At my wits end with Photoshop freezing, lagging in Windows.

[ianf39773764]

Hello,

I'm not sure what has changed but Photoshop has become borderline unresponsive as soon as its opened / a .psd file is opened. Even without a PSD being open the program itself will slow to a crawl.
This is using the latest and greatest version of Photoshop (v24.21)

What I've tried:
Resetting Photoshop preferences file
Clearing font caches (in local > temp folders)
Updating my video drivers to the latest NVIDIA studio driver.
Disabling and enabling GPU acceleration in Photoshop preferences
Increasing RAM allocation
Uninstalling the program and re-installing from creative cloud.
Rolling back to 22.2 (Still happens!)


PC specs:
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9900K CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz
Installed RAM 64.0 GB
Pen and touch Pen support
GPU: Nividia GeForce RTX 2080 Super

Hi @ianf39773764 Go to Photoshop Help Menu/System Info and copy/paste details in a reply. Post only once as the system takes time to process the large amount of data. 

The other question I have first is - how much free HD space do you have under Photoshop/Preferences/Scratch Disk?

HI @ianf39773764 right off the bat, don't increase your RAM past 75% - it will do the opposite of expected. If PS cant pull 95% it will cause lags.

Second, you have a Titan X - which is a gaming only GPU - there are no Studio drivers for this card series.

Also your GPU drivers are over 3 mo old - there are newer updates available from NVIDIA.

One thing you can try related to your GPU - after updating the drivers is to go to Photoshop Preferences/Technology Preview and check “Disable Native Canvas”. Then check “Use Older GPU Mode (2016)”.
