Photoshop 2019 Freezes every 3-5 minutes.
Hey PS community. Hope you all are well and that someone here can help me get to the root of an issue I am having.
I want to preface this with that I did find people with similar issues as far back as 2012, 2014 and 2016 but none of the forum threads had a solution. So I hope that those people got the help they needed however, it was unclear from their threads.
Additionally, I am running PS 2019 on a 64 Win 10 pro machine with a Wacom Cintiq Pro 24" and a secondary 4k screen. The machine is an absolute beast I honestly cannot imagine this being a memory issue. Plus the issues I am about to explain happens on files small and large.
Ok, now for the issue - PS freezes every 3-5 minutes. It does not crash. It simply freezes all functionality within PS except for the cursor. I can move my cursor but cannot click anything within PS. If I move my cursor to my second monitor everything else within windows or other Adobe products works just fine. To fix this all I have to do is simply Alt+Tab to another application and Alt+Tab back to PS and everything works again. This continues every few minutes and I have to continue switching back and forth between apps to fix it. I am sure you can all imagine how insanely frustrating this is when you are trying to digitally paint within PS.
Please help. This has pretty much rendered my workflow and productivity to a "non-functional" status.
Thank you,
-Ivan
