On a PC, go to Edit>Preferences>Performance. You can either update individual apps or click “Update All” at the top right. If any of your apps need to be updated, they’ll be listed here along with an “Update” button.

Click the ellipsis at the top right, and then select “Check for Updates.” (If Photoshop won’t open, you can also open the Creative Cloud app directly.) Click “Updates” in the sidebar. Open Photoshop and go to Help > Updates to open the Creative Cloud app. The first step for fixing recurring problems is to make sure you’re running the latest version of Photoshop. If Photoshop continues to run slow or crash after you restart it, things get a bit trickier. If a different app or system utility has crashed, it can affect how Photoshop runs, but restarting your computer will fix it. Photoshop’s performance is impacted by whatever’s going on in the background.

Restarting your computer might also work-especially if a lot of other apps are running in the background or you haven’t restarted in a while.
