I've been having this same problem with both Photoshop 22 and 23 latest versions for many months now. Adobe has yet to address this issue because I don't really think they know how. I'll just continue closing it via Task Manager until Adobe finds a solution. Funny, they don't have a problem receiving our subscription payments every month. They're just like mechanics. You take your car in. They fix what's wrong only to break something else. Photoshop has been broke for years. They keep upgrading and updating, but never repairing. Yet, their stock continues on a rollercoast ride. I know cause I own the stock. Might sell it. ... View more

I've been having this issue for a while now; I've installed several versions and completely uninstalled and reinstalled all Adobe applications, but still experiencing it. I do not have this issue on other computers, just this one. This is going on for months and I am clueless about how to resolve it!  What happens, is I press Alt Ctrl O, it opens CC, and I click into PS and press the hot key again to shift to Bridge. ...

@CShubert Thanks for the tip! Yes, even though I didn't use any tweakers that would modify Windows UI, I think I found the culprit: I had an outdated version of the Lazy Nezumi plugin installed, which was causing problems with the taskbar in the latest Photoshop version while working in the background. I updated this plugin through the official site and it seems that the problem is completely fixed! I apologize for taking up your time, but I may not have discovered the real cause of the problem without your help so thank you! ... View more

bwinkjet - thank you for the update. J E L - for me and I'm sure many many others - it's the holiday season now, and there's just absolutely no time to go through all the diagnostic efforts - again.  I started this post back in early July, and sadly, it sat in limbo for the bulk of the time since. For the various test paths you mentioned, I'll cut to the chase.  I completely paved my system (i.e. hard format on the primary hard disk), installed the OS, installed PS and the problem repro'd 100% of the time.  PS was a virgin installation; i.e. no changes to prefs, all under a completely clean box.  I'm not about to try all that again, knowing the extreme likelihood that doing so will get me different results this time around.  And again - especially not with the holiday season now in play.   I'm not the only one reporting this, so I'm not totally crazy.  In a wouldn't it be nice world, I'd love to see Adobe TS get involved, but I don't have the luxury of time any more, I just have to live with an unstable system; something I am certainly not excited about... Thank you... ... View more
