Photoshop 25.3 slow to start-up with latest Nvidia drivers.

I have a Nvidia RTX4070 and just installed drivers 546.33 and am now finding that Adobe Photoshop 25.3.1 is slow to start-up pausing on reading brushes for approx 20 seconds before continuing to load. However if I roll back to drivers 537.58 the problem goes away and Photoshop once again starts up ok with no pause. I have also tried 546.01 and they also give me the same pause so appears to be something that has been introduced with the newer drivers after 537.58. Has anyone else encountered any similar issues with the newer drivers?

No issues here with the same drivers and RTX3090. GPU acceleration is enabled.

I wonder if it is a particular brush?

I have tried un-installing and re-installing Photoshop 25.3.1 but the problem still persists with the new Nvidia drivers. I have noticed that its not always on reading brushes that it pauses for about a minute but sometimes on building color conversion tables. If I disable use graphics processor or GPU compositing in preferences the problem goes away just like installing the older 537.58 drivers. Just to confuse thing further I have tried the latest Nvidia drivers on my backup machine which has an RTX2070 and the same Photoshop setup (cloned prefs) and that starts up normally with no issues. The only guess ive got is there is some issue with the later drivers in combination with my RTX4070, is there anyone that is using a 4070 with the latest drivers with no issues?

@g1dtf I have version 546.33 installed with an RTX 3090 and not having any issues with Photoshop loading, do you use the Game Ready or Studio driver, Adobe recommends the Studio version, I also don't install the GeForce Experience

I used the Studio drivers and like you omitted Geforce Experience. Can I also assume that you have GPU accelleration (use graphics processor) enabled in Photoshop?
