P: Photoshop can't open, freezes on splash image, uses all of ram trying to open then crashes.

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.

Thanks Bogdan Bobo for offering a solution.

I would kindly like to note that the problem is not limited to Beta apps. I had the bug in both Photoshop and Photoshop Beta. Removing only these two with the cleaner tool did not fix it. Removing all apps via the cleaner tool did fix it.
Also, for thopse dreading the move:  I did not lose any preset.

Hi, I've a big problem.  I'm using the latest version of Photoshop ver 26.11.0.  My problem is that when I load a RAW image, the system just hangs.  I can open the same image in Lightroom but no dice in Photoshop.  I read that it is a Camera Raw settings problem so I reset it but to no avail.  Any idea what it could be?  My camera is a Sony A6600.  My computer is working perfectly in other apps.  It is AMD Ryzen 9 5950 processor,  64gb DDR4 RAM, Samsung 500GB SSD, and the video is a GTX 1060.

Managed to sort it out using the creative cloud cleaning tool: https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/creative-cloud/kb/cc-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html

Be aware however you will lose your presets unless you save them. I just chose all the beta apps and Photoshop to clean as I had no issue with any of the other apps. 

 

Happened at the worst time as well, so frustrating.

Uninstall all beta versions of Adobe. We were going to work with classic versions. I am a user from Turkey. I did it this way. Now it works without any problems. The important thing here is that just uninstalling the beta version of the program that does not open does not work. You need to uninstall all beta versions you downloaded from CC.

Remove all Adobe Beta software via Uninstall for a fix to this problem.
