Hi All,
Apologies for the flashing/strobing you're experiencing when opening files, this tends to affect older graphics cards (GPU) that don't support all of the aspects of DirectX 12.
For Windows:
For macOS:
We would like to find out if there are any of you on Windows for whom:
A. Use Older GPU Mode is Checked, and
B. Deactivate Native canvas is Unchecked, and
C. are still experiencing this strobing issue with a GPU that supports DirectX 12?
If so, could you please provide Photoshop's Help > System Info dialog text in this thread?

Bugger. Now you have told him the secret, you are going to have to 'eliminate' him with extreme prejudice. 😉

Please show a screenshot of your Preferences panel. Also: what is your exact version of Photoshop?

Wer kann hier weiterhelfen. Sämtliche Update von PS > 24.2.1 führen auf meiner Seite zu einem Fehlverhalten von Photoshop. Ich kann keine Bilder öffnen. Sobald ein Bild importiert/geöffnet werden soll, flimmert die ganze Bearbeitungsfläche. Installiere ich wieder die Version 24.2.1 kann ich wie gewohnt arbeiten. Mit den neuen Versionen ist dies leider nicht möglich. Gemäss Systemüberprüfung von Adobe ist aber anscheinend alles in Ordnung. Was läuft hier falsch???

When I try to open a file with my Photoshop v24.3 updated 2 days ago it starts flickering and the application is unuable. I've Windows 10 Pro 64 bit with NVIDIA. I can't speak with the support because I don't find any phone number to call. Is there anyone that has the same problem and maybe resolved it? I guess it is the update. Before it, things were ok and I could work properly.
Thank you

Thank you! Finally something that worked!
Shame on you Adobe, for not being able to give a simples fix like this for an issue (that you shouldn't even have).
Shame. On. You.

The flickering issue only affects computers with older GPUs. Adobe offers a checkbox to deactivate the Native Canvas, but the other solution is to update your GPU to one that supports DirectX 12 (Microsoft).

In my case the Deactivating Native Canvas didn't work. The solution for me was to check the "Older GPU mode" (and realize I must to get me a new one soon!)

Try enabling "Deactivate Native Canvas" in General Preferences and restarting Photoshop; better?
