I am experiencing major crashes in Photoshop CC 20.0.5.
When I am working with (larger) files for my webdesign business Photshop crashes while performing tasks like moving pictures around or copying groups.
Would be awesome if anyone could help or had the problems before. Google and forum searches did not help, but maybe I searched for the wrong terms? Really don't know what this following error log is telling me and what the reasons are.
Well, here are a few questions first. What else were you running at the time? Seems like you had a few other things going on when this error report came down. Possibly even some game running in the background? Since a game controller came up in the list, I'm guessing you might have a game or two on there...
Also, you have 27 devices plugged into your computer at once via USB. Were they all active and being used? Or could some of those be shut down while you are actually working? Your computer only has 16gb of RAM, and with too much going on in the computer, that 16GB could get eaten up pretty quickly. And Photoshop is definitely a RAM pig. Especially with large files. Try not running anything else on the computer while you are working on it as well as shutting down as many of those peripheral devices. It is only a laptop, not a big workstation, so minimizing the load while working is a something you need to think about.
I am running no games, just a browser tab with netflix open was running. Also a few tools, like Google Drive Sync in the background. Yes there are a few apps running like an email app or a calender one. But I mean 16gb and one of the newest MacBook Pros with nearly max. hardware update should be enough for Photoshop to run with these files. Sketch would do this with ease, don't know why Photoshop as the only single tool on that computer has these massive problems.
So it seems like the error code gave false infos. May that be a problem? I do not want to believe that the MacBook is "not a big workstation" and I can't do simple website design with it anymore. But since its the only app right now that crashes often I am, to be honest, thinking about switching tools. That would be a lot of work for me so looking to get the most out of it of course but that's why I am so frustrated right now.
Well the immediate reason for the crash is a memory fault, may be Photoshop accessing memory somewhere that has not been allocated to Photoshop beforehand. As you say that this happens on big images it could be a could guess to blame memory management in a stress situation (either MacOS or Photoshop).
It appears to be a hardware problem. Looks like disk issues or Ram. Start with the disks used a cache and remove or change them to see if this solves the problem. If not it's ram, But try the disk trick first. I had a disk go that caused similar problems.

Hey, Geeks. I'm in need of your help again. I've found really good help here in the past, and you have helped me save three laptops from terrible fates. I support the agents that assist me, and I am looking forward to another round of support.
The device in question is a modern Asus gaming laptop, and the customer is young with poor surfing habits. It landed his laptop in hot water with a Trojan. I attempted to let Windows Defender quarantine/remove it, but it is persistent and able to skirt around efforts to block it. There could be more trouble here, under the hood, but so far, I have only been able to detect one virus. This virus has taken over RPC and DHCP services. The laptop is able to associate to an SSID, but it is not allowing the DHCP service to grab an IP. I also cannot search for files or engage admin commands through power shell. I attempted to edit the registry to give me a back door to DHCP services, but to no avail. The virus has the laptop pretty locked down, and who knows what kind of other nefarious code is running under the hood.
The virus you cite is just a possible PUP (Potentially unwanted Program). Looking at your FRST logs I see several services which aren't running and a problem with the permissions or presence of the file that DHCP Client uses. The hard drive may have had a glitch or there may well be an undetected virus.
That was odd. I was not notified of your reply and apologize for not responding to you sooner. Apparently, an OP does not get set to auto-follow their threads. I clicked follow, so now I should respond with more reliability. Perhaps I can change that with a profile setting, but it's never happened to me in the past. Dunno. Anyway, back to the show...
At first, I was unable to run commands in CMD (Needed Elevated Privs), so I opened PowerShell. I still wasn't able to run commands. After looking it up, I ran a start-process command to give me admin, and it worked.
Open FRST64 (run as admin) and put dhcpcore.dll in the FRST search box then hit Search Files. You will get one file. Please post. This is not going to fix anything just tell us if the file is present and has not been modified.
Permissions for dhcpcore seem to be OK. Registry entry looks OK. Not sure why it won't start. I also had the fixlist check the BFE service (Base Filtering Engine) as this was reported not running by FRST. It appears to have the same access problem even tho I didn't see an event to that effect. BFE is a very important for networking as it controls the firewall among a host of other things and it may be part of the DHCP problem so have FRST do Search Files for bfe.dll just like we did with dhcpcore.dll. Post the result.
I think the next thing to do is download Win 11 to a USB (8GB or bigger) and boot from it. There is an option to repair upgrade which leaves your data and programs intact but fixes any problems with Windows.
Okay, I will start prepping a USB to try and recover windows 11 file integrity. I've done this before, so I am familiar with the process. The only thing the laptop can't do, is connect to the internet. With RPC/DHCP still hosed, it won't connect. I assume I can just skip the 'Update' portion of the repair, or wait until it times-out. I tried to release/renew with admin privs in Powershell, but it is still complaining about the RPC service.
and hit Enter. It should open the services menu. Scroll down to Remote Procedure Call (RPC) - there are actually two of them. We want the first. I assume it is not Running. Right click and select Properties. Verify Startup Type: is Automatic. Report if it's not. Try to Start the service. Does it give you an error? What does it say.
Good news. Functionality was restored to a certain point using Windows 11 restore. At first, I was selecting to save files and applications. Attempts were getting backed-out due to the failure error I reported before, and again with a separate failure error report while attempting to do it again. So, I decided to just save files and 86 the applications. I am now using the affected laptop to write this post.
In recent work, Bender et al. (2021) propose the notion of documentation debt, in relation to training sets that are undocumented and too large to document retrospectively. We extend this definition to the collection of datasets employed in a given field of research. We see two components at work contributing to the documentation debt of a research community. On one hand, opacity is the result of poor documentation affecting single datasets, contributing to misunderstandings and misuse of specific resources. On the other hand, when relevant information exists but does not reach interested parties, there is a problem of documentation sparsity. One example that is particularly relevant for the algorithmic fairness community is represented by the German Credit dataset (UCI Machine Learning Repository 1994), a popular resource in this field. Many works of algorithmic fairness, including recent ones, carry out experiments on this dataset using sex as a protected attribute (He et al. 2020b; Yang et al. 2020a; Baharlouei et al. 2020; Lohaus et al. 2020; Martinez et al. 2020; Wang et al. 2021; Perrone et al. 2021; Sharma et al. 2021), while existing yet overlooked documentation shows that this feature cannot be reliably retrieved (Grmping 2019). Moreover, the mere fact that a dataset exists and is relevant to a given task or a given domain may be unknown. The BUPT Faces datasets, for instance, were presented as the second existing resource for face analysis with race annotations (Wang and Deng 2020). However several resources were already available at the time, including Labeled Faces in the Wild (Han and Jain 2014), UTK Face (Zhang et al. 2017b), Racial Faces in the Wild (Wang et al. 2019e), and Diversity in Faces (Merler et al. 2019).Footnote 2
Unified analysis of popular fairness benchmarks. We produce datasheets and nutrition labels for Adult, COMPAS, and German Credit, from which we extract a summary of their merits and limitations. We add to and unify recent scholarship on these datasets, calling into question their suitability as general-purpose fairness benchmarks due to contrived prediction tasks, noisy data, severe coding mistakes, and age.
Survey of existing alternatives. We compile standardized and compact documentation for over two hundred resources used in fair ML research, annotating their domain, the tasks they support, and the roles they play in works of algorithmic fairness. By assembling sparse information on hundreds of datasets into a single document, we aim to support multiple goals by researchers and practitioners, including domain-oriented and task-oriented search by dataset users. Contextually, we provide a novel categorization of tasks and domains investigated in algorithmic fairness research (summarized in Tables 2 and 3).
