Photoshop is Freezing since the last update

Hello, I feel like I'm going crazy with this issue and needed to know if anyone else is experiencing the same problem. My photoshop keeps freezing while doing even very simple tasks: like yesterday it froze after I cropped a picture and added an exposure adjustment layer, so it has nothing to do with RAM capabilities especially since I have 32GB. And usually I'm running just Photoshop and maybe Chrome at the same time. The weird thing is that, when it happens I go to the Task Manager and Photoshop doesn't show up as NOT RESPONDING, it says it's running smoothly, which is not true because I can't click anywhere within the software window. It's been happening every single day for the past two weeks. I feel like it's a bug. And of course it's incredibly annoying since I've had to restart retouching jobs over and over again because, the freezing bug happens at the most random moments ever and I never know when I should save.

Which version of Photoshop and OS?

How much spare disk capacity do you have?
Have you tried resetting the Photoshop preferences, which you can do under the General tab in Photoshop preferences?

I haven't run into this issue, but the first that I suggest is using the Reset Preferences on Quit option located under General in the Preferences. -see attached-

I'm having the same problem, it's been unreliable all year. Each update i pray it fixes the hang ups. It happens a couple of times a day with a 5 minute hang up. I'm so frustrated with it that i've just installed the 2020 version as these 5 minutes here and there are costing me time and money. Hopefully the 2020 version runs as smoothly as i remember. Another frustrating thing with the 2021 version is i can't stretch the window on my external monitor without losing the canvas.

I don't expect it on a maxed out 2019 macbook pro.

Hi!

Have you checked to see if your Graphics Card is compatible with this new version of Photoshop? Here is a help doc that gives some troubleshooting tips: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/troubleshoot-gpu-graphics-card.html

Also, here is some information on compatibility with Big Sur: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-and-macos-big-sur.html

 

Let us know if either of these help, or if you are still having the issue.

Michelle

No idea, i presume Adobe wouldn't release a product that isn't compatable with common/high end hardware. I'll just stick to 2020 and try again in 6 months.
