Photoshop CC to 2017.1.1 starting new document or opening an old REALLY SLOW

[Harri_Holopainen]

Hi!

I updated yesterday Photoshop CC to 2017.1.1 and starting a new document takes a g  e   s, I mean it is disturbingly slooow.

Uninstalled it today and installed again. Still very slooooow when starting a new document or opening an old one, no matter how small, it just is sloooow. It is still 2017.1.1 release.

Help!

Hi,

Same thing here. On Windows 10

Work in DCC, photoshop is the Swiss Army knife.

I have a monster of a computer with a Quadro P4000 for main GPU and two more 1080Ti for Cuda. Lots of RAM, fast chips.

Photoshop takes ages to open or create a doc, up to thirty seconds.

All other apps run super fast.

Can you patch this?

Best,

Will

Yeah, I've got Windows 10 too.

One little thing, after some research to solve this.

Disable the new "Start" Workspace on open - untick - and revert to the legacy "New Document" page - tick.

This makes a pleasurable change.

It looks like the 'calling' and 'drawing' of these new windows is very slow / has a lot of lag and makes working with them very frustrating.

No magic bullet, but it's already much nicer.

Okay, it makes Photoshop little faster. But it is still way slower than it used to be. Maybe part of it was that most of the documents I've used and am using are in the network drives.. but they have been there always.. anyway this is a little improvement

Also I am missing the Photoshop picture from the Photoshop icon in the taskbar

Find Photoshop.exe in Adobe folder, R click and select "create shortcut"

Drag shortcut to desktop , rename a and R click icon select add to taskbar, delete icon from desktop
