Photoshop Update 24.1

[MarechalF]

Since the update 24.1 my Photoshop is very slow on my Macbook M1 Max.

The startup is endlessly long (reading preferences?).

Many operations have a delay now, like the "Select and Mask..." button (3-4 seconds to open each time), and other basic tasks.

I reset the preferences in the settings but, still laggy.

I'm on Monterey 12.6.1

How did you reset your preferences?

Try restoring your preferences using this manual method:

This method will also remove presets, and other setting which might be causing a problem.

If that doesn't solve it, you can quit Photoshop and put the Settings folder back.

If it does solve the problem, I would like to get the folder of settings to try and figure out what is bad with them.

I tried both ways.

The button on Preference>general AND manually.

Now it take around 35 seconds to open Photoshop, and many tasks are laggy.

Major issue.

24.1 on my M1 MBP takes less than 2 seconds after the splash screen appears. 

Do you have 3rd party plug-ins? 

Any difference if you shut down, then reboot the Mac (and maybe, with no other software running)?

After another restart of the computer, it's better now!

Maybe the manual method for the preferences + the restart seem to solve the issue.

Thank you!!
