Hey @Erik Foto! Thanks for reaching out! I totally get how annoying this can be. Can you share your system info version with us? In Photoshop, go to Help > System info, copy the contents, and paste them into a text or Word file to share with us.
Also, when this happens, do you see an option to send a crash report or an error code/message? If you can, please share any screenshots or screen recordings too! You can upload them via Google Drive, WeTransfer, or any other public file-sharing site.
In the meantime, give these fixes a shot and see if they help.
1) Update everything: there's a newer version of Photoshop, v 27.0. Also, make sure your OS is up to date. If you’re on a Windows PC, don’t forget to update your GPU drivers. If you have an NVIDIA GPU, update it to the latest Studio driver available.
2) Reset your preferences: You can find out how to do it here:
Just a heads-up to back them up first before you reset. You can find the steps for that here:
Thanks a bunch!
Please use @ before mentioning my username so that I can be notified ASAP.
Get ready! An upgraded Adobe Community experience is coming in January.
