Photomerge freezes

[Northridgelibby]

I am having problems with photoshop cc 2023 freezing when entering the automate then photomerge.  Even going to help menu and typing the word photomerge freezes the app.  Have to sign out and sing in to get around the problem

i am using Windows 11.  Yesterday program working with no issues when trying photomerge.

Hi @Northridgelibby sorry to hear this.

Let's make sure we're in a default state and there are no stale settings somewhere: 

Restore your preferences using this manual method:

Does it work correctly? 

If that doesn't solve it, you can quit Photoshop and put the Settings folder back. 

Thank you,

Cory

I am also having this issue. I have tried all of the suggestions in another thread from July 2022 with no success.
