Photoshop 2025 laggy zoom in/zoom out and brush tool and rectangle tool

[patrick_6023]

Can someone please help me? Photoshop has been like this for a month and I've been doing everything I can to make it run fast.

• I've tried adjusting the NVIDIA Control Panel settings to get it to run faster.
• The Photoshop perferences settings
• I tried disabling Windows AntiSever and closing apps on the task manager.
• I even tried clearing my computers cache.
• Ive tried adding Photoshop to the NVIDIA app to see if it can get it to run fast.

Still nothing.

What do I do?

I turned off Use Graphics Processor and it moves fast again however I can't use the Rotation View Tool.

How can I get Photoshop to run fast again?

Computer system:

Windows 11 Pro

Slim Pro 9 16IRP8

13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13905H 2.60 GHz

... And I had to reinstall Photoshop, and now I no longer have the lag issues.

This might not be the best solution, but sometimes you have no choice.

I'm still not quite sure what the cause of its lag came from, whether it was a failed update on the system or software, or a file I installed. I guess I'll never know.

I'll see this many many times ago, also in my job as Systemadministrator. If there was sporadic crashes, low performace or other issues we reinstall the whole system. It sounds a lot of work (and it is), but it's usually the quickiest way. And in most of the cases the system runs perfect after doing this.

The reasons are often in the deeps of the system. Old drivers of libraries that are on the update processes aren't deleted and incompatible with the new software or older configurations that are not changed and so on.

That’s why you read here often reinstall the Adobe applications or sometimes also the whole system.  The best is to reinstall a system from time to time with the recent versions of operating system, drivers and applications and not always install only the updates.
