Lighting effects not working insufficient RAM

Question

Lighting effects only partly loads, as experienced by many others I get a spotlight but no handles and inefective sliders. From time to time i get an error message telling me to select my graphics card in 'Performance' also another message stating that I do not have sufficient RAM to run the app.

There is usually about 12GB of RAM available to Photoshop but I still see the error 'not enough RAM'

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Photoshop (latest version) and I have updated the Graphics driver to version 471.11 release date 21.06.21

Everything else works faultlessly.

I have attached screenshots of the messages and the image with lighting effects partly open, also the system information report.

Any help is apreciated.

Hi! The Lighting Effects filter is very RAM intensive. Do you have any more RAM that you can allocate to Photoshop? Also, do you have a Scratch Disk connected and available for Photoshop to use?
