I upgraded yesterday and as long as I do simple tasks like changing a file size I'm good. As soon as I start to get complicated, ie: changing the color in a duotone or adding an effect to a layer, it crashes. I can't get my work done!

Remember when "MVP" used to mean "Most Valueable Player"?
Well, in software design these days "MVP" means the "Minimum Viable Product."
When you work on a software team these days, your team's goal is to put out the absolute BARE MINIMUM effort, piece of garbage, badly coded, pile of trash that you can get away with and STILL get customers to pay you.
Adobe is no stranger to this new way of working. Their mentality is "We can fix it later" due to the ability to instantly push updates out to customers when they do. However, once a release is cut, the project managers decide to focus on cramming in "NEW FEATURES!!!!!" without bothering to fix anything that broke (unless enough people are screaming about it that their revenue could be impacted).
Look across the board, whenever a modern software company issues a new update to software it's almost ALWAYS worse than the previous version — riddled with many more bugs, powerful features are stripped away and replaced with barely functional half-baked "beginner" versions of those tools.
The whole software industry has become EXACTLY what you would expect when it is full of red book carrying Chairman Mao / Joseph Stalin COMMUNISTS.
The same half-baked low-quality garbage that drove the USSR into oblivion.

This was supposed to be a reply to the previous post — but Adobe can't even make their replacement to "tech support" and "user testing" work properly (ie. putting up a "user forum" and making the customers become their own tech support and software testers).

I saw you are running Catalina. I rarely run into issues using my PC. Hopefully, you will be able to get things working properly.

I have an older MacBook running Catilina and a 2-year-old MacBook running Big Sur.
It seems that whatever "version year" of Photoshop I am using needs to be at least one year earlier than the year we are actually in before it is stable enough to not severely disrupt my workflow.
I always try to get used to the newest stuff because that's how we grow as professionals — it's come a long way since the first version of Photoshop (which I am old enough to have learned on).
But major releases for Photoshop. I can't fathom how something as simple as "drag guides from rulers" would be unusable in the newest version when it still works fine in the previous versions.
