Need some help. Whenever I travel with my laptop, I cannot open Camara Raw. When I click it, the system just hang. I have to click "ESC" to exit and can then only work in Photoshop. I cannot seem to find any solution on the internet. Even if I move my computer in the house to a different location, like in 30 meters away, it just won't open. 

 

Please help!

What File-type are you editing?  Only raw file types will appear in ACR when you [Open in Photoshop].

You cannot actually "Open ACR" - You [Open in Photoshop] and if you image file is raw then ACR comes into play. ACR is a Plugin for Ps, and not an independent editing app.

Rendered RGB files (JPG, TIF, PSD, etc) do not pass through ACR on the way to Photoshop (Unless you set Camera Raw preferences in Ps to allow JPGs & TIFs in ACR.

 

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.3, Photoshop 27.5, ACR 18.3, Lightroom 9.3, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.3 .

One Possibility: Make sure that the files that you are trying to open in ACR  are physically present on your laptop.
