War with Ventura 13.6.1 vs photoshop

With my last OS update to Ventura 13.6.1. My photoshop doesn’t function correctly and my computer doesn’t function well either. Wondering if it’s safe to back down a few upgrades? Has anyone attempted that?

iMac 21.5″ 4K, macOS 12.2

What tools are you having problems with?

How much RAM do you have?

How much free space do you ave on your boot drive?

Have you installed and run any "cleaning", "optimizing", "speed-up", anti-virus or VPN apps on your Mac?

Please read the following user tip and restate your question/problem in detail

What model and year Mac are you using?

What version of Photoshop are you using?

What doesn't function in Photoshop?

What problems are you having with your computer?

Note: it usually easier to fix problems then downgrade the system and all software.

My IMAC is 2017

My photoshop is 24...latest.

I cannot use the tools to work on my photos.

My computer spins for sometimes an hour at a time.

I have malware on my computer.

I have used photoshop on this computer for more than 6 years.

The problems began with Ventura.

I spoke to 4 APPLE support persons yesterday. I kept getting transferred until I lost the connection. Over 3 hours.

Today I had another appointment with APPLE support and I spoke to 1 person who quickly summed up my issue and asked me to "hold" which I did for 50 min. Foolish.

Tomorrow I have another appointment. Apparently this problem isn't uncommon. After that, I will take my desktop computer into the store.

Thank you for your comment.
