I have googled every possible variation of this problem and tried every fix for this problem, none of them worked. I have tried reinstalling photoshop, deleting everything even remotely related to photohop in the appdata, deleting custom fonts, restarting the computer, updating graphics and computer, and holding every possible combination of alt, ctrl and shift while trying to launch in administrator mode. The result is always the same. It opens the splash image, gets to loading preferences or brushes, spikes RAM usage to every last byte of RAM I have, freezes the computer, then crashes.

 

And no i'm not running it on a potato i'm running it on an Alienware Aurora 4090, it should have more than enough power to handle this and Photoshop ran perfectly fine for months. Then just today it crashed and has never started up again.

Photoshop version 25.11

 

Help.

Only Photoshop, illustrator and indesign don't work. The others are fine. I've tried everything, working on a Macbook pro 2021. Please help

Delete all Beta versions in your Creative Cloud. I did it, everything works fine since then.

With respect, I must say that you are mistaken, misunderstanding both the problem and the solution. The stable versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign are affected by the presence of the beta applications on the affected system, so the installed beta versions must be removed for the stable ones to function properly. I don’t know why this happens, but Adobe certainly does.

IT IS NOT NECESSARY to uninstall EVERYTHING. Only the BETA applications.
