Ok, so earlier I fixed the issue on my desktop PC though I wasn't sure how. Now I'm working from home on my laptop and the same problem occured, so I investigated further. What I found out is that it's all ok when FontBase is running, even if only in the background. When I close FontBase the issue comes back, but once I run it again it's back to normal. FontBase used to start automatically on Windows startup in a minimized mode, but it seems for some reason it wasn't starting anymore (it also disappeared from the Windows Task Manager's startup applications list). What I did is I unchecked the autostart option in FontBase and checked it again, and now it does start automatically again when I boot up my PC and this solved the issue for me in Photoshop. I hope this helps you too - try closing a file in PS with FontBase running. ... View more

Do you use FontBase font manager by any chance? ... View more

Hey there! To me the problem seems to be solved, not sure how though. I did try to turn off autosave and background save functionality and turned them back on, but I'm not sure if this is what solved it. It may be worth a try. Balazs ... View more

Dear Akash,    I'm experiencing the same issue that MrConnor described. Every time I'm closing a file of any size, Photoshops just hangs and doesn't respond for a few seconds before it goes back to normal. The delay is quite annoying, especially when I'm trying to close several files in a row. I have a desktop and a laptop with Photoshop installed, both have this issue for a few weeks now. I tried the steps you described in your reply, but it just didn't help. One thing worth mentioning may be that I have also a custom action that crops a file to a specific size, saves it and then closes it. The issue doesn't ever occur when I use this action, only if I close files manually by pressing CTRL+W or using the File > Close command. I also noticed that the problem only happens with opened files. If I create a new file I can save and close it just fine, without the freeze. But when I open it again and try to close it the freeze persists.   Do you have any other possible solution? Thank you in advance for your kind help! Balazs ... View more
