Once you actually understand that the NVIDIA Control Panel has NOTHING to do with ANYTHING anymore. The final path isĬ:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2022 This will be the largest size file in the folder. Open “Program Files”, then “Adobe”, then “Adobe Photoshop 2022” (branded folder)įor me, it was in Program Files, not Programs Files (x86).Open “This PC” and double-click to open your C: Drive.Scroll down and click “Graphics Settings”.How to find Photoshop 2022 and set Graphic Performance Preference in Windows 10 How to set GPU Graphics Processor for Photoshop, or any program, in Windows 10 So from the top, here’s what I did to fix it. What this setting does is allows you to specify your Graphics card program by program, within Windows 10 Settings. My interpretation of Windows’ Graphic performance preference settings was totally wrong. Went back to said Control Panel – settings were all as I set previously, but I still could NOT get PS to recognize anything but the integrated Intel graphics processor. I saw NVIDIA Control Panel on the list and selected it. What I THOUGHT it was saying was “Choose WHICH app you would like to use to set your computer’s graphics preferences”. Here’s what I was seeing on those settings: I had already been there before! It took me to this screen and I THOUGHT I had told it to use NVIDIA Control Panel to set my preferences! This was a TOTAL MISUNDERSTANDING on my part. Open Windows graphics settings (linked)”. What I was ignoring was the message in the NVIDIA Control Panel that says “Windows OS now managers selection of the graphics processor. I go into Program Settings and make sure Photoshop is set to use High-Performance too. I set it to prefer the NVIDIA High Performance over the Integrated Intel one. Still no gold.Įverything keeps pointing to the NVIDIA Control Panel though. Knowing it’s a NEW issue, set it for only results in the Last Week. The ONLY “Detected Graphics Processor” listed was my integrated Intel and any options to change that were greyed-out.īack to Google. What I tried that DID NOT workĮverything says to go into PS and go to Edit > Preferences > Performance and just change it there! No prob! NOPE. Just what I wanted to take the day off to do! NOT. Learned all kinds of stuff I never knew – integrated graphics processors and high performance ones, and why I have both. Photoshop is just unusable.Īs usual, I head to Google. Then, down at the bottom, I noticed it listed my graphic processor as Intel, not the fancy pants one that I always see getting driver updates – NVIDIA. I had been using PS like nobody’s biz for well over 6-12 months, and I saw there was a graphics driver update just the other day, so I knew none of this was true. When I relaunched Photoshop (PS) I got this error: The whole program would freeze up requiring the good old CTRL+ALT+DEL. The screen was freezing up, showing the opening screen behind my artboard. Late June of 2022, Photoshop suddenly went cray-cray. What happened when Photoshop chose the wrong Graphics Processor 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.
