Photoshop takes 15-30 minutes to start

[Cabbrosh]

PS seems to get stuck at installing brushes.  I've deleted most of the brushes, but the next time I start it, they're all back.  It also takes forever to close.  When I looked in Task Manager, there's a (6) after PS, which I assume means 6 versions are running at once.

I've tried uninstalling, rebooting and reinstalling with no result.

Any idea how to fix it?

@Cabbrosh try manually resetting your Photoshop preferences

Remember to backup your settings before doing the preference reset

Hi @Cabbrosh Go to Photoshop Help Menu/System Info and copy/paste details in a reply. Post only once as the system takes time to process the large amount of data. 

[Cabbrosh]

Tried resetting Photoshop preferences and it still hangs up on "reading brushes".  I'll try going to the help menu/system info if and when PS manages to start.

[Cabbrosh]

BTW, the default file settings doesn't have the same lines and circles icon all the other default setting files have.  Also, when I start with Alt-shift-control, PS 2022 tries to start.

[Cabbrosh]

oops - default TEXT settings, not file.

[Cabbrosh]

I get a "Do you want to let PS 2022 make changes to your computer" message.  Should I say yes?

[Kevin Stohlmeyer]

Yes.

Here's the system info with PS started in safe mode.

BTW, Lightroom classic is acting up, too. It starts a bit slowly, and every so often I get a blank screen with "Lightroom not responding".  It clears up in a few seconds.

There are a lot of plug ins: several Topaz programs, On One, Nik and Photomatix are the main ones.

Hi @Cabbrosh the only thing I noticed is you have two GPUs one underpowered (Intel UHD integrated) and your main one. Here’s how to resolve: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/troubleshoot-gpu-graphics-card.html#multiple-gpus

[Cabbrosh]

It's already set to use the NVidia card.  I just set the card to optimal, can't find the sniffer.exe the intructions said to add on the NVidia programs list.  

Both programs worked well until an update a few months ago.  PS has gotten worse and worse as far as opening and closing.  It seems to be fine once it's open.

Should I try opening in regular mode and see if the system info is any different?  Even in safe mode, it took 10 minutes to open.
