(Sorry if this has been asked before.)

With the latest Photoshop beta update, it crashes on launch.

I have uninstalled the Photoshop beta, uninstalled and reinstalled CC, restarted, unchecked GPU composting in the non-beta version., and reinstalled Photoshop beta, it still crashes on launch (the icon in the dock bounces once and stops without launching).

I have been using Photoshop beta since it was available, even though there is a warning that my (older) OS may cause issues. 

I on a team (Enterprise) version of CC.

Mac OS Big Sur 11.7.10

@Cris108 if you sent the crash report via the popup, then the team has it. If not,

 

If you haven't done so already, please submit all Crash Reports along with your email address: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/submit-crash-reports.html That will help us diagnose the crash.

 

Thanks,

Let me know if having the entire crash report will help. It's quite long.

Deleting the Beta settings didn't help, nor did the keyboard short cut. 

I got this message:

"The team is looking into this along with another issue and will get back when there is an update."

Hi @Cris108 let's make sure there is not a corrupt preference file that is causing this.

 

Try resetting Prefs for the Beta:
/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/ Photoshop Beta Settings (Mac Ventura)
/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/Adobe\ Photoshop\ \(Beta\)\ Settings (Mac)


C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop (Beta)\Adobe Photoshop (Beta) Settings )Win)
Launch BETA Photoshop While Pressing The Keyboard Shortcut
With Photoshop closed, press and hold Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and then Launch Photoshop the way you normally would.
