This is for folks who can’t get Photoshop to work and just want to get on with their work day! I was out of work for over a day figuring this out, so hopefully this will save someone else in the same pickle. However, people who know the terminology probably don’t need this article. I know I won’t be using the right terminology here forgive me. UPDATE 7/6/22: This problem is NOT resolved! 🙁 Will add details on what fixes it once I find out. That gives it the little butt kick it needs to start working again.
If/when NVIDIA crashes, go to Device Manager > Display adapters – right-click on NVIDIA to “Disable device”, wait a sec, then right-click and “Enable device”. If you need to go back to Chrome, save and exit Photoshop completely. The best solution I’ve found is – Once in Photoshop, STAY in Photoshop.
I THOUGHT it was the answer… and NVIDIA just crashed again, rendering Photoshop unusable. Yesterday, saw the update for Photoshop v.24. UPDATE 10/26/22: Dell determined my graphics card must be bad came and replaced my motherboard… twice but that’s another story.
