Using the latest 2021 version of Photoshop, I'm having an issue where the program stops working when using Select Color Range. The tool opens, but then everything freezes when the Range or Fuzziness sliders are moved. The only option is to Force Quit the program.
Is anyone else seeing this issue?
Details:
Hardware: Late 2013 iMac
Operating System: Catalina 10.15.7
Processor: i7 with 24GB of memory
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M with 2GB of VRAM
The problem seems to be Photoshop's rulers. Turn them off and Select Color Range operates as expected. I found the answer here and it worked for me. I hope that solution works for everyone else too.

Same problem and lost hours of work due to force quit. I see this has been happening for moths and has not been solved yet.
Photoshop 2021 up to date
Mabook Pro / 2.9 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i9 / 16 GB 2400 MHz DDR4 / Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB
I will try the turning the rulers off, not happy with having to do that but better than the freeze.
Adobe, please fix this soon. It's not a minor problem.

It is clear that the problem lies in the incompatibility of this latest version of the PS with AMD's video card from Apple. Adobe needs to do a new update, to fix this flaw, unfortunately I have no answer from any of them.

Seems to have been resolved in Ver 22.2.0 update. Touching wood.

I have been having this problem with my PC for about a month now. Clicking on Color Range under Select immediately freezes PS and I have to force quit the program.

In Photoshop, go to Help > System Info... What version do you have installed? Make sure you on the latest version.
