P: LrC (11.0.1) Edit in PS2022 fails because Photoshop could not be launched - Error Message

Adobe: what about this since we are still waiting on an expert code writing fix: do a registry tweak to fix this problem with OpenCl:

1. Click Run, and regedit or regedt32
2. In the Registry Editor, open HKEY_CURRENT_USER
3. Open Software
4. Open Adobe
5. Open Photoshop
6. Use latest number. Mine was 160.0 Right-click on the number, and select NEW-->DWORD Value and name it AllowOldGPUS.
7. Now there is a new DWORD Value named AllowOldGPUS.
Double click on it and set Value Data to 1
Restart Photoshop and go to Preferences-->Performance and enable OpenCl

I will not proceed with this until Adobe says YES it is OK.

You can just change to UAC in Control Panel, to off, and then you don't have to change the registry. However, Adobe PS will NOT work correctly  until the code writers fix this problem, and make it compliant with graphics as it is in Adobe Lightroom Classic, PLEASE.

I tried this, today. No love. :(--

OK, let me chime in here for a moment. A while back, I was having an issue of PS 23.X.X only seeing my C:\ drive for a scratch disk. It would not recognize my other internal SSD and external drive. I incorporated a “solution” by granting PS administrator privileges. That worked, unfortunately, it generated the issue of this thread where I received the error message: The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop 2022 could not be launched.

After chasing my tail for a while, I found a solution that resolved both problems by disabling the EnableLUA in the registry. Not happy about this from a security standpoint; but it is easy to switch back and forth when I need to use LR and PS.

Here is the blueprint for anyone who wants to see if it helps them.

First, back up your current registry.  

Hit Win R and enter regedit, then OK. This takes you to the Registry Editor. From there, you follow the file chain on the left-hand portion of the window. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

Once you get to System, on the right-hand side window you will see a listing of settings. Go to EnableLUA, left click it and you will activate a dialog box. Set the Value Data to 1. Hit OK.

Restart your machine.

My current configuration consists of:  an AMD Ryzen 3600x with an Nvidia Quadro K5000 (4GB VRAM), Win 10 Pro, and have 16 GB RAM. Both LR and PS are up to date.

Good luck!

This problem has not been fixed and Adobe appear uninterested.

Can I suggest that everyone 'Upvote' this thread and see if we can provoke a reaction. So far the thread only has 12 votes..

No update yet from Adobe for Adobe Photoshop. Just think, Microsoft spent 11 months with Google creating Edge/Chrome, now Edge. And wrote code day and night. We are all struggling to make PS work and it does not. And Adobe is not working night and day to write code. How come?

There was an update to Creative Cloud today - didn't fix the problem!!!

With this version 23.0.2, and we are losing money every day, that we cannot work. Covid-19 is not the excuse that people will believe. I can open it, but the box comes up: Driver update recommended. Driver is out of date. Open CL unavailable. Open GL available. DirectX available. above required VRam. However, in the Performance Settings, the AMD card is recognized, and if checked, advanced, open CL is greyed out. Bad code writing. If you have settings I need to change and then this will work, ok. If not, write new code, so it will work like Adobe Lightroom Classic does. right now only a few things will work, OR it freezes up, and have to CRTL/Alt/Delete and close PS

In Adobe Lightroom Classic, my heavy AMD card shows, and I can set the settings to custom and all is fine.

Are you saying that if you alter GPU settings to custom, or turn it off, the problem stops? 

Well, I was going to try to uninstall and reinstall after I saved everything, but I see that this has gone on for a VERY LONG time and others have tried that and still failing, so I don't believe I will. It appears bad code, and no one to fix it. And we are just all out of luck. In Adobe Lightroom Classic, my heavy AMD card shows, and I can set the settings to custom and all is fine. Someone just has to write good code and fix this so it will work in Adobe Photoshop. It all worked before this version 23.0.2, and we are losing money every day, that we cannot work. Covid-19 is not the excuse that people will believe.
