@Guilherme_Palacio what version of Photoshop and operating system are you using, have you tried manually resetting your Photoshop preferences

Remember to back up your settings before doing the preference reset

If that doesn't help, try uninstalling and reinstalling

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

I was having the same issue and nothing was helping. I went back to version 26.8.1 and it works now.

@JDavid_ Without any detailed informations all is a guesswork.

 

Do you get any error messges? If yes, please post the exact message word-by-word.

 

Is your system up-to-date? Do you have installed all recent updates and patches for the operating system and the device drivers, especially the graphic driver? If you have a NVidia graphic card installed, make sure that you are using the recent Studio version of the driver, not the Game Ready version.

 

Try to reset the Photoshop preferences manually. See here Preferences in Photoshop and scroll to section "Reset Photoshop preferences". Near of the end of the document you'll find how to reset the preferences manually. 

 

My System: Intel i7-8700K - 64GB RAM - NVidia Geforce RTX 3060 - Windows 11 Pro 25H2 -- LR-Classic 15 - Photoshop 27 - Nik Collection 8 - PureRAW 5 - Topaz Photo

Photoshop 26.10 is now available via the Creative Cloud desktop app. Please update and let me know if the issue still exists. 

Best,

Where can I download version 26.8.1?
They only provided me with version 25.0 in the chat.

I reinstalled the previous version (26.8.1) and disabled automatic updates.
I'm waiting for the update fix to come.

Hello everyone,

My problem is the same:
The program does not start, instead an error message appears.
The problem appeared after the automatic update to version 26.9. The installation language is English from the beginning. The environment: Windows 11 Pro, AMD Ryzen 5 2600, 16.0 GB RAM.
Before this, there was no problem.
The report from the Windows event manager is available at the following link:
<Incorrect file type>

I am waiting for urgent help, because I can't work!!!
Regards: TJoe
