Fourth, this is the sneaky thing with Dell and other manufacturers. Sure it's a NVIDIA Card, but it may not be one with 100% of the horsepower of true NVIDIA cards you buy off the shelf. This saves the manufacturers money, but you get screwed in the end when software starts complaining. So in reality, if you can't get the drivers to increase performance of the video card to make Photoshop happy, chances are you are looking at replacing the video card and possibly the power supply to support the new video card. It's up to you if you want to throw $1000 or so in doing this to your computer. I usually recommend a 850 Watt Power Supply to go with a NVIDIA RTX 3070, NVIDIA RTX 3070 Ti or NVIDIA RTX 3080.
no way would the hubby be in for dumping $1k into this computer or for buying a new pc either 🙅♀️ 😆

Camera Raw Preferences shows the same error

And now something awful happened. I must have disabled my Intel display adapter because my monitor cannot be brought out of Power Save Mode (Dell u2412m).
I've tried rebooting several times. F8, win+ctrl+shift b, ctrl alt delete, unplugging the monitor, etc 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Hi @Brian, Thanks for all the help! I went to dell and there was nothing to update there. I did go to the Studio Drivers link you provided and downloaded that. When I go to Camera Raw Preferences the same error is there. When I look at my Display Adapters it lists the same Intel and Nvidia as before as well...

I have a PC desktop running Windows 10 and Photoshop 23.5.3. It is over 2 years old, and has 16GB of RAM. Its hard drive has 607GB free out of 915GB. The last time I shut down was earlier today. I run a cleanup program about once a week. Dell XPS 8930
Hey Brian, I am currently running photoshop 23.5.3 because the update was buggy, but what is perplexing me the most is I cannot open Bridge 13.0.1, so I've reverted back to 12.0.3. Have you heard of anyone else having this problem?

Hey Brian, I've started having a heck of time focusing with my Canon L 24-70 f/2.8 II. Is it worth investing in FoCal to try to get things right??? I use a Canon 6d mark ii. For kicks, I dug out my 12 year old nifty 50 and it was very sharp, so I'm pretty sure it's a lens issue.
Thanks!

I went ahead and ordered both! 🙊 I always learn so much no matter what I ask - I appreciate it! I've often wondered why I didnt go Nikon right out of the gate (as of now I've invested too much $ in canon to switch, though at some point I know I'll have to go mirrorless) as I've heard it has a higher dynamic range. Thoughts on canon vs nikon dynamic range?

No. The “fragrance” is what kills it.
You need one of these instead:
Nikon Complete Lens Cleaner Kit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000EF3YQI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_ES7S2W56KFBTAG3Q4PWE
I highly recommend buying this:
Thank you! I know you shoot Nikon, but these should work with any brand, correct?

You have been very helpful Brian! Thank you! I did that optional update and things didn't get any worse. They seem to be fine, but I've said that before in this journey! LOL If it hits the fan again I'll start with Adobe. Thanks again!!!

Call Adobe or call Dell It's not liking your video card and/or video drivers. You may need a better Graphics Card, or un-install this version of PS CC and use an older version.
Is there a place I can check for a graphics card update? Thanks for all your help with this. It is so frustrating!

Hell, I'd remove both and reboot.
Did that and everything seems to be working okay 🤞

I clicked the check for updates and it said everythings up to date, so that part should be okay, right? and NEVER do the optional MSFT updates, ever (I haven't -- just want to make sure I'm understanding correctly!) I'm a little scared after your story! I'm not tech saavy enough to get it back if I get a blue screen of death 😬 You don't think it's a combo of all 3 fighting with each other (dell, microsoft and nvidia)?
When I am in the settings and search for driver I see this:
I also saw these for NVIDIA:
Which should I uninstall or am I in the wrong place completely? Thanks for explaining all of this to me and helping me! Not a fun way to spend a saturday! lol

Maybe it's only money if you have a lot of it?! Haha
At any rate, I found that sniffer file, but now NVIDIA won't show the Select Graphics Processor drop down. Also, I can't find the camera raw exe file anywhere!
Thanks for all your time and help with this!!!
