Which is the model used by Adobe for some of their software already, I believe.

Now fixed. After a lot of faffing uninstalling drivers etc to no avail, I simply unplugged the second monitor. It worked perfectly fine before the 1803 update.

I spoke too soon. PSE now starts but complains about lack of ram. I'm only using 40% of the 4gB installed so I'm not sure if this false message. Ho hum.

Think I've fixed it now.

You can alter the amount of memory PSE (and Photoshop CC) uses in >Preferences>Performance but I was getting the problem outlined above. This also affected the second monitor as the wasn't enough memory for that either.

Hope this helps anyone else that gets clobbered by this.

John. windows 10 keeps its installed "apps" in memory in the background you have to turn them all off. same goes for your taskbar apps. they are on by default so you have "quick start". in the resources manager it says that they are using 0 resources which is not strictly true. another thing that hogs memory is windows security features especially "cloud-delivered protection" if you dont install a lot of apps/games from the internet a lot of the virus features can be turned off.

basically if you dont need it started with windows then turn everything off.

there should have been no need to alter any memory settings in photoshop after the update if it was working fine before the update. if you do then this proves that microsoft have added more resource hungry apps in the background. its finding which ones is the problem.

Chased up a referral - the reply I got. "Oh we don't seem to have that on our system". Grrrr
Now I have to wait another 2 weeks to see a doc to start all over again. Wish I'd chased it up sooner.

Lance. I agree with that but i think there is a bit more to this as it's a reported bug on Adobe's support page. I had to do a registry hack to fix it, basically telling PSE how much memory was installed. The performance setting option in PSE now displays properly.
