Running PSE 15 with windows 10. After a recent update from windows, photoshop has been reacting slowly and freezing up. Anyone else having this problem? What can I try?

No error messages. Just taking forever to respond to moving things around. I just spent over an hour redoing a scrapbook page thinking maybe something in the original was causing the problem. Didn't make much difference. Then when I tried to save what I had done (which was just my typical two page scrapbook spread that I have made hundreds of) I did get message that it could not be saved because it was over 2 gbytes.
Preference settings control how Photoshop Elements Editor displays images, cursors, and transparencies, saves files, uses plug‑ins and scratch disks, and so on. If the application exhibits unexpected behavior, the preferences file could be damaged. You can restore all preferences to their defaults.
Note: Deleting the preferences file is an action that cannot be undone.
Do one of the following:
Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Mac: Option+Command+Shift) immediately after Photoshop Elements begins launching. Click Yes to delete the Adobe Photoshop Elements settings file.
Go to Edit > Preferences (Mac: Photoshop Elements > Preferences > General), click the Reset Preferences on next launch button, and then click OK. When you restart Adobe Photoshop Elements, all preferences are reset to default settings.
A new preferences file is created the next time you start Photoshop Elements Editor. For information on a specific preference option, search for the preference name in Help
I did ALL of the above. Problem continued. Walked away for a day. Came back and everything still wonky. Opened up some older projects and everything worked fine. So....started my page over from scratch. Completely redid it. For some reason, the file is now 218.9M. Don't know what I did differently than the hundreds of times before, but it would seem the problem was with a loose nut on the keyboard. Fixed now and everything is good.

So this "loose nut" was causally related to malfunction of PSE, and other programs installed on your machine were not impacted adversely. Hard to believe, but so be it.
Only had problem working with that one layout. Tried all the fixes suggested and nothing helped. Once I threw it away and started anew, everything worked fine. I can only surmise that I (the "loose nut") had done something???? while making that one layout that was causing it to be troublesome. I am certainly open to other suggestions.
