I'd like to report a bug, as in subject. This happens only in 25.9 version, I've downgraded to 25.7, and it doesn't happen.
When I have a document, with couple of artboards in it (let's say, ad banners) - when I try to move any artboard, and, after clicking on the name, and starting to drag it to move it someplace alse - when I try to pass it over any other artboard, or layer, which is outside the artboards - PS freezes.
It happens every time, in every document I've opened.
I have the same problem, I'm running photoshop 25.11 and when I try to move the artboard out of the area of other artboards or over each other, photoshop freezes. Downgrading the photoshop version to 25 they work normally. It is practically impossible to use artboards in this latest version 😞
I believe all the entire version 25 has problems, tried several, the most stable was 25.0, but still a couple of crash here and there. My computer works flawessly and is top noch, all other adobe software works perfectly. I been loosing hours of work because of version 25, please adobe solve this.
You can have both versions 2023 and 2024 versions installed simultaneously.
I just installed last version of 24 and it workd perfectly with moving artboars. So im using old version for projects with multiple artboards and new version + beta for projects where i need AI and other stuff.
so i have 3 photoshops installed (v24+v25+beta) hehe
Please ensure your graphics driver is up to date, reset Photoshop preferences, disable third-party plugins, and check for any updates. If the issue persists, report it to Adobe Support.
Just updated my grahics driver, updated Windows, deleted my preferences, deleted all cached files and assignned maximum RAM to Photoshop... But NOTHING seems to fix this bug. Copying artboards is such a basic fundamental feature that I would expect Adobe to make it a priority. Please take this seriously Adobe, this is unacceptable when we're all being charged for a substandard product and it's killing our business workflow!
I am having the same problem on a MacBook Pro running PSD 25.11. If I try to move multiple 4K artboards with many layers each they jump all over the place. If I move the artboards one at a time it seems to be fine. Tedious.
Same issue here running 25.11. Moving, copying, or even thinking about an artboard causes Photoshop to lag and freeze and I have to force close. I've tried all the suggested solutions one by one (dispabling GPU, allocating more RAM, placing a layer mask over the artboard, reinstalling Photoshop, updated graphics driver) and I can replicate the issue every time. I've even tried the several different ways to duplicate an artboard.
Only solution right now is to copy the artboard without the content and then copy and place the content onto the blank artboard. It still takes way longer than it should but doesn't cause the app to freeze.

This was happening to me. I just downgraded back to 25.7 and we're back without any problems. Not sure exactly what is going on but it seems that I would lean towards something with the AI functionality bugging in the background. Or if there is an unncessary amount of meta data being packaged into each artboard.
Adobe has NO solution to this? Oh well, guess it's time to install an earlier version again... same with Bridge, Illlustrator...come on Adobe...GET IT TOGETHER>
I feel you, is incredible how this is not solved yet, I can't see the hour to finish my current project and move to Figma definitelly. Been using Photoshop since version 5, but no more.
I think this is insulting, I work in a profesional environment as most of us do and our workflow is completelly broken with this. Figma on the contrary is the tool of the future, we can have like 300 frames at the same time without any lag, I believe photoshop is very dead for complex proyects, it just good on photos and one by one haha.
Same on my side. We switched to figma for making ad banners and carousels. I now use photoshop only for photo manipulation and for things that are missing in figma so workflow is kinda bouncing between Figma and PS .. Figma is much faster without lagging + Faster exporting overall.
Its kinda sad that they cant fix this for so long time now.
I've rolled back to version 24.75, and it seemed to fixed the issue. My guess is that the new bounding box previews of layers (I'm guessing that's how they're called) are messing with the fast previews of artboard changes.
