Photoshop extremelly slow on Windows 11 [Public Beta]

[linnuz]

1. Since I've updated to the Windows 11 beta (21H2), Photoshop is extremelly slow and lagging making it almost impossible to work.

I've already tried unninstalling and reinstalling everything, and change settings (gpu acceleration, cache, etc) but nothing solves this issue.

Does anyone else is having the same problems?

My setup is: Windows 11 Pro - Public Beta (21H2), Ryzen 7 3700x, GTX 1070ti, 32gb ram, Photoshop 22.4.3

I don't have any issues with Premiere and After Effects, but Illustrator is also lagging.

I just tried this... I'm updating hardware this weekend so I'll get back to you after all is done and let you know if things are better.. Thanks for the suggestion.

I have been unable to load PS latest and going back a few versions for quite sometime.  I got hold of Adobe support who had a look remotely and essentially it's a compatibility issue with W11, which they are working on.  My laptop uses the MX250 graphics card and it's not happy.  Oddly LRc and apps such as Davinci Resolve, DxO Photolab, OBS do not have any issues.

Here's Adobe Help for Windows 11.

Generally speaking, it's a good idea to wait to change your OS until you hear that it's stable and works with your software.

"We strongly recommend you wait until we have released a compatible version of your app."

Couldn't be any clearer, really...

Yes. We really need to wait for the updated then. I hope it won'r take a long time.

Meanwhile I reverted back to W10 until it is fixed.

The same here

My setup: Core i 7 10700, RTX3060Ti, 32GB RAM, Photoshop 22.5.1, Windows 11 Pro 22000.194

It's slow [slang profanity removed by moderator]

I legit hope they get this addressed sooner rather than later. It's not like they haven't had access to the OS for a while. Photoshop and Indesign I haven't found are too bad, but Illustrators performance is 100% terrible, esp if you have any of the other apps open at the same time. Never a problem with my Rig under Windows 10 tbh. Thankfully I'm not using the Home Rig all that much versus remoting into the Office and using the Workstation there, however I had to do some Indesign and Illustrator this weekend and it was painful. It doesn't feel like the applications are leveraging either the system Cores, GPU or System RAM effectively and in fact are trying to bogart all the system resources themselves whenever you move between them.

Win11 public release version has not been available until quite recently (Oct 4 or 5). 

Beta (test) versions are not complete and thus not suitable for production work.

I would not be tempted to upgrade from Win10 to Win11 for at least 2-3 months until all the dust settles.  It's unlikely that MS will have sorted all the bugs before then.

I have installed Photoshop CS5 and Photoshop 2022 on windows 11 (21H2) and I don't feel any slowdown with any of them running alone.

It could be because my computer is a little over the top with memory. 

I have 128 gigs on an intel core I7 3.8 gig Intel.
