What freezes – Photoshop or the OS? 
If it’s Photoshop then one need not restart the computer but can forcequit the application (cmd-alt-esc on Mac, no idea about Windows but no doubt somethimg simmilar is possible there). 


What have you done for all-purpose trouble-shooting so far? 
Restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved might be a good starting point:

Thank you for your prompt response to my query.I have now managed to unfreeze my "crop" tool in photoshop  v 22.3 I am using windows 10. The prroblem stems from not selecting "unconstrained" in the menu when the crop tool is selected it has taken me two days of messing about and continuous un-installing and then reinstalling v22.3.I know I am vomputer illiterate but all was ok with other versions and no problems why change something when no need  that's my excuse anyway!!! Once again thank you for reply and interest.

Hi, I have the same problem, but your solution didn't work for me - I don't get the option to choose anything including "Uncontrained" because the whole thing freezes as soon as I click on the crop tool.
As you say, why "FIX" something that's already perfect.?
