Adobe Photoshop 2024 v25.1.0.120 for mac instal

I've uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop 2024 with a system reboot in between, and I was able to click the 'OK' button fron the dialogue box, but Photoshop again froze before going any further, and now I'm back where I was (freezing at the dialogue box stage). I've also tried File -> Open from within Photoshop, and right clicking the file to open in Photoshop, both to the same effect. The only way to proceed at this point is to open Task Manager and End Task, which feels great (it doesn't). I can't select the Images tab or click any text boxes or anything. I get the 'select pages to open' dialogue box, and this is where Photoshop freezes.

I've tried dragging and dropping the file into Photoshop as normal. I use Photoshop to generate thumbnail images of PDFs created in InDesign, however this issue isn't restricted to files I've created but every other PDF which has, until the 2024 update, opened fine.

Similar to another user's problem but, in my case, Photoshop doesn't give an error and just freezes.
