How to remove Adobe Photoshop Elements External Editor in LR

Question

I have photoshop installed on my machine and never use PSE as an editor. I do not know why LR switched from PS to PSE as an editor, but I cannot figure out how to permanently remove it without deleting the software from my computer.

Right now it defaults to PSE, so if I want to open it as a smart object in PS, it opens it in PSE.

Try A reinstall Of Photoshop, to change.

Uninstall then reinstall Photoshop 2022 from your Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App.

You could also try "Solution 2" if you are confident to edit the Windows Registry.
