This bugged me for a while. Selecting Do not disturb from the pull down menu, the Until option was not avail. Even restarting the tablet would not work. But now its back! Don't know how or why but I hope it sticks.

Just some Lorikeets :) Noshing on Paperbark flowers   Just enjoying the ride.

Came across this issue a few days ago where nothing will open in Photoshop. New documents will not open, previous saves would not open. Only a reboot of the pc would fix the issue until it occurred again. It seems the issue was my SSD drive and the ram caching mode it was using. I have a Crucial MX100 SSD and i have the  Momentum Cache feature enable.  (uses some of your RAM as a boost) Once i disabled the Momentum Cache, all seems fine and photoshop is behaving normally. On Samsung SSD drives the feature is called RAPID.
