I ran Glary after posting my answer above.

I have a PC laptop running Windows 10 and Photoshop 2020. It is under 2 years old, and has 12GB of RAM. Its hard drive has 850GB free out of 931GB. The last time I shut down was just before posting this thread. I rarely run a cleanup program.

I updated bridge and camera raw and the new version doesn't have the overlay.

I gave my pictures ratings in bridge, then selected rating and opened by clicking control r to open.  All images have this strange blue overlay... and I can't see the histogram.  Any idea what is going on?  I did a quick google and see it mentioning disable GPU but that was on a 2017 post.  Screenshot included.

I closed and reopened bridge and then restarted computer but no changes.

Ah, that sounds more like it.

This all looks very normal.  I'd say you've done everything you can.

So your job, from now on, is to prevent C drive filling up any more.  Make sure all your photos go on D drive.

Thank You!  I can do that!!

I found it  Program data 2.12 GB  I'm sorry that was a typo.

I strongly suggest doing this: https://www.dummies.com/computers/operating-systems/windows-10/how-to-change-the-location-of-user-folders-in-windows-10/  EVERYTHING else must go on your D drive.

I moved the folders I had placed.  Is there anything else here I need to move.

Ok while I am changing things I just as well change it all lol.  We don't want Brian to have a fit.  Although I don't keep everything on my desktop....I probably do keep too much and I can see it really isn't necessary and I can easily do it different. My other computer was from 2012 and it didn't have the two parts.  D was the cd drive.... Off to see about fixing my issues.  Thank You for clarifying.  It will be much easier to correct now while I barely have anything on this computer.

Yes, the C drive must strictly only be for your Windows.  EVERYTHING else must go on your D drive.

And Brian will have a fit if he sees you say that you keep everything on your desktop.  Never do that, it's bad for your computer's performance (although worse for Macs than PCs).

If I am understanding correctly I need to edit only from my computer?  I am on a new laptop and the hard drive has a c and a d. I've never had one with two parts before. See screenshot.  Normally I  place folders and save edited files on the desktop (backed up periodically to two externals) but it appears that only uses the c which has very little free space .  Do I need to save the raw (to work on) and edited files onto the d part  ?  The c only has 118 GB (30gb free) and the d has 931GB.  There isn't anything on the d at present but the Bridge Cache which I put on earlier in this lesson.
