Photoshop freezing on startup? Past few days I was facing this issue. It gets frozen for a minute or so after launch. This soon became very irritating especially after I transfered photos from Camera would be really eager to play around with them. Thus came the time to ask the almighty Google for a solution to fix photoshop freezing on startup, I came across many different solutions. Some of them suggested increasing RAM, some suggested tweaking the scratch disks options under preferences.
However while most did nothing there’s one solution suggested on Kanate.com that worked for me.
All you need to do is follow these steps:
Windows:
Launch Photoshop application while holding down CTRL + ALT + SHIFT
OR
MAC:
Launch the application while holding down COMMAND + OPTION + SHIFT
You will see a PROMPT which mentions an instruction as seen below:
Upon seeing this prompt, click “YES”.
What this will do is, regenerate your preferences file. And, you are through.
Let me know if this works for you too.
