Seems like Adobe are assuming everyone has got nice up to date GPUs with their latest updates.
Have had to switch off GPU acceleration on the main PC for everything after 22.2 which isn’t too bad as the graphics card I have is getting on a bit now. But now with the latest 22.5 I’ve had to do the same on my laptop which is less than 2 years old.......
Have they got shares in Nvidia by any chance......

In video rendering they were slow to start doing this properly compared to Black Magic.
What's the problem if you can just stop it trying to do it.
 
Seems like they're finally catching up with everyone else and starting to use graphics card power. Sucks if you have an older low spec card though.
 
LR/PS were utilising GPU many versions ago. When I bought my current PC 7 years ago I included a reasonable Nvidia Graphics card for that reason. I will need to update/replace my PC soon but will wait until parts are more readily available.

Main issue for me was the way the problem showed itself. After an upgrade from 22.2 I was just getting generic errors when opening a file. Same when trying to access the settings to do troubleshooting - no overt indication it was GPU related whatsoever. With the laptop I’d already got an inkling it was GPU related so was able to sort more quickly. Fortunately I’m not a heavy Photoshop user so not noticing anything too horrible. Just wish they handled the issue a bit better in terms of messaging - would have been easy to flag up “GPU not supported - acceleration has been switched off”.

That’s Lightroom - not Photoshop.

LR wasn't using graphics processors to any significant degree when they launched the subscription version, for at least a couple of years after trying to get the software to use graphics power made it run more slowly. That may not be true for Photoshop, which did use it for a few functions previously.

Well, not really. Won't you get the same processing power as if they hadn't turned on GPU support? Just turn it off and use the CPU.

Seems like it's causing problems now.
