Any Recent Version of Photoshop Has Become Unuseable

[jidenshaotoko]

I updated to the latest version last week, but it kept crashing on me after a few minutes using the lasso tool. Uninstalled it and tried an earlier version, but as soon as I opened a second file, Photoshop literally starts working in slow motion. Keep in mind that both files are smaller than 30mb each. No matter what version I install now it has the same lagging issue.

I have an 8700K, with 32GB RAM, a 2080Ti, an m.2 SSD for Windows, a SATA SSD for the files. Please don't walk me through the usual troubleshooting steps cause I've done it all including:

- Completely removed the Creative Cloud using the uninstaller Adobe itself provides

- Uninstalled Photoshop completely

- Tried older versions

- Purged cache

- Started without plug-ins

- Reset preferences both via dialog box and by manually going to the folder and deleting the file

- Disabled GPU

- Updated GPU driver

- Updated Wacom tablet driver

- Updated Windows

- Even went as far as doing a clean Windows 10 install

Task Manager shows normal hardware usage when Photoshop starts slowing down and it's the only app I have installed that has this issue. 

Adobe really needs to stop pushing all of these stupid new features and focus on getting the software back to the same level of performance it once had.

if you have already reinstalled Windows, then the culprit might be the file you are editing. have you tried editing a different file?

if you edit the same problem file on another computer, does that computer also exhibit the same problem?

[jidenshaotoko]

Happens with any file. On my wife's computer it runs fine.

[dotslash]

right. last attempt, on a freshly installed (of Windows with all patches plus PhotoShop only) computer but this time only PhotoShop installed.

it would be best if you can install also from a fresh download of PhotoShop CC 2021.

[jidenshaotoko]

I've done that already problem persists. As I said, I've done every conceivable troubleshooting step at this point. Photoshop has been a buggy mess for years now. Every new update is hit or miss. Some fix stuff, some completely break it.

I'm hoping that one of the engineers see this and give additional insight into the problem.

If you've tried everything what can we say? It is literally impossible to help someone who has tried everything, and attempting to just gets them more and more cross. So we don't try.

This is not a path to the engineers. 

[jidenshaotoko]

No need to be frustrated. I'm frustrated enough that I did some extensive homework before thinking about posting here. I'm on a deadline and Photoshop has been a spotty software for years now. I've already contacted Adobe directly and I was hoping to at the very least see if someone with a similar issue would share their experience so that I'd have something different to try to see if it works. I've seen engineers following up here before.

[kevin stohlmeyer]

When you uninstalled - did you also run the CC Cleaner tool to remove all breadcrumbs?

The uninstallers do most of the work but for a truly clean install you should also run this.

Go to the Help Menu/System Info.

Copy and paste your specs in a response.

We need details to assist.

[jidenshaotoko]

It was the first thing I tried. I figured there would be some left over files that could be causing the issue so I looked for an official uninstaller and I found the exact tool you're sharing.

Yesterday it ocurred to me trying plugging in a second monitor, which triggered a Windows scaling change. It ran butter smooth. So I unplugged the monitor and manually changed the scaling to match it to what Windows automatically set it to when I had the second monitor plugged in and it's been running butter smooth since. The slow downs happened when I had it set to 150%, but at 175% things have been running butter smooth since last night. I'll report back here in case anything changes.

I've provided the system info to Adobe directly via Twitter and we're trying to figure it out there as well, but here it goes. This is the info I got after I got the issue on my very first boot of the software:

That is the plugins information not the Photoshop System info.

Help/System info, Copy.

It should start with this.

You mentioned the second monitor - do you have two drivers?

[jidenshaotoko]

What do you mean by two drivers? GPU drivers? If so, both monitors were plugged into different ports of my graphics card, only one driver installed (not even sure if it's possible to install more than one concurrently). I'm on Windows.

[Test Screen Name]

Still, some of us can't resist... you say you've tried going back to an older version - presumably the version you were using immediately before you upgraded. And it's bad too. And it wasn't bad before? Or was it? If it went bad, doesn't that point at a hardware or system fault.

[jidenshaotoko]

I did. I've tried 4 different versions at this point. Before the issue kicked in, I was using the previous version to the latest one that just came out. It was working fine until suddenly it wasn't. That's when everything started. I tried updating to the latest version and a second separate issue came up: it crashes everytime I use the lasso tool and my workflow is pretty much based on lasso tool, paint bucket and brushes. So I reverted back to two prior versions, crashes were gone, slow downs persisted. 

I'm sure it's not hardware fault. Every other app I have installed work fine, even other Adobe ones like Audition and Premiere. But to make sure I was on top of things, I ran mdsched for memory issues, nothing came up. I ran stress tests on my processor with a bunch of different instruction sets using Intel's official tool, nothing came up. Benchmarked all of my HDDs and SSDs with <5GB sample file sizes and checked the health on each individual drive, everything looks good. GPU is fine too. Hardware issues are not the culprit.

[dotslash]

yet you say it works fine with your wife's computer. no issues.

compare your rig vs hers.

[jidenshaotoko]

If only software issues were this black and white 🙂

The number of variables that may make things go wrong at any given point is not even worth going into, let alone trying to argue. Still looking into the issue though. Will update if I make any progress.

[desireeb23823755]

I'm having the same issue!!! Ever since the update in October 2020, all the subsequent updates have been making Photoshop slower and slower.  Now I can barely run Photoshop at all, and I use it daily for work.  Nothing I do seems to make it better. Also, I'm ONLY having this issue with Photoshop, not with Premiere or Illustrator. 

Computer Specs: 

Windows 10 Pro - Current Updates

64gb RAM

GeForce RTX 2080 Super

I've given Ps everything I can, as in allowing it to use 84% of my RAM, complete use of my RTX 2080, and maxed the cache. Nothing helps. I went back as far as I can in available versions, but even 21.2.5 barely functions.  WHAT IS WRONG???
