Photoshop 25.7 slow on older laptop but at least it works unlike previous versions

[Peter LnD]

As far as now, I have been stuck in Photoshop 25.3.1 with my laptop with Nvidia Quadro M2000M since it had the Disable Native Canvas checkbox that made it work perfecly. All the never Photoshop versions have had severe issues with showing image or severe performance related issues. But now, suddenly, out of the blue sky again, recently the version 25.7 suddenly started to work again, the only problem here is that it is quite sluggish, almost like software rendering would be on, but at least it works again and shows the image and is stable and that is after a loooong long time. So, of course I thought that I'll check the "Disable Native Canvas" checkbox that has saved me before - but now the supprise there was that it has been removed!!! What's happened here!?

So, this ping pong with new Photoshop versions have been going on for 3 -4 years already, every new version goes like this, several versions are just buggy and laggy as hell and usually completely unusable, and then again suddenly out of the blue sky, one appears that works perfectly like 25.3.1 lastly, now it could be 25.7 but they have removed the button that did the magic before with 25.3.1 and the one that user to work before that, could have been 24.something. Yeah, shouldn't be so difficlut, please get it back.

What have you done about general Photoshop performance and Scratch Disks so far?

Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences (Photoshop > Preferences > Performance > Graphic Processor Settings) and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?
