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

Since updating my subscription to Adobe for Photographers (Photoshop & Lightroom) I am having an issue when launching Photoshop 2022 from Lightroom v11.

If I right click on the image I'm working on in Lightroom and select 'Edit in Photoshop 2022' I am asked whether or not I want to edit a copy or the original (as I would expect). 

If I select "Edit Original" everything works to plan, the image opens in Potoshop and I can proceed.

However:

If I select either "Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments" or "Edit a Copy" I have an issue.
I can see the copy being created on the Film Strip at the bottom of the Lightroom screen, Photoshop starts up and stops at the launch screen but the image fails to open in photoshop.

 

If I wait for 2 or 3 minutes I recieve an error message in Lightroom: "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop 2022 could not be launched"

If I then select 'OK' in the error message the image immediately opens in Photoshop and I can work away.

 

This morning an followup update to Photoshop 2022 (to Ver: 23.0.1) was installed and it made no difference.
This afternoon Camera Raw also had a followup update to Version 14.0.1 and it has made no difference.
The problem is still there.

Is this a bug or is there a some way I can fix the problem.

 

I'm using a Windows PC - Running Win 10 and it has 24gb of RAM

@bq2017 Do you get an error "Photoshop could not be launched" or some other behavior?

All updated apps, but still no roundtrip from photoshop.  M1 Pro Macbook Pro.  Lightroom 5.1 and Photoshop 23.1.

I updated to the latest version of Photoshop 23.1 and Lightroom Classic 11.1 and “merge to HDR Pro in Photoshop “ works well – Photoshop launched automatically and loaded the three images from Lightroom.

@millerje Make sure you install the Photoshop 23.1 update and other recent updates. It should correct this problem for you.

Based upon customer reports, most issues have been reported fixed by either the remediation steps and/or the installation of Photoshop 23.1, released Monday, December 13, 2021. 

Thank you for your patience.

Revert to 2021.  It worked for you before they upgraded... it will STILL WORK.

I'm glad to hear this. I hope thousands and thousands more are experiencing the same. I am still not. I am looking for Adobe and AMD and Dell to fix all of this. I is so important to have the graphics software code writers make this work FOR AMD and Dell and not just expect it will be ok. It is not ok. Bankruptcy will become imminent by December 31st if this is not fixed.
