Lightroom = edit to photoshop

Question

Hello,

In LrC when I try to press the button Edit in Adobe Photoshop, it doesn't work at all.

I went to the External settings and saw that photoshop 2026 is set as editor so it's ok. The main problem is that the button isn't greyed out, but clicking on it won't open PS, and don't do anything at all.

Lightroom classic version: 15.1

Photoshop version: 27.2

I tried to uninstall and reinstall them, or even following similar discussion here, but it still doesn't work.

Could I ask if anyone of you faced the problem with the latest version? And give me a sggestion on how to fix it?

Thanks

Starting photoshop before still doesn't do anything

I work with my catalog in my ssd and I tried to plug the other disk where the original file are stored but it still doesn't do anything

You wrote in your first post that you have reinstalled both applications. Do you've done a clean reinstallation and do you install Photoshop first?

If no, the try a clean reinstallation by following the steps below:

Backup all personal data, like templates, presets, catalog(s) etc.
Uninstall everything cc including preferences, https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-remove-app.html
Uninstall the cc desktop app, https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html
Clean your computer of CC files per http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
Restart your computer (don't skip this)
Reinstall the CC desktop app, https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/desktop-app.html
Use the desktop app to install your cc programs/trials. Install Photoshop before Lightroom!
Restore your personal data.

If you're unable to install the cc desktop app at this stage, use an administrator account (solution 4)

here: Adobe Creative Cloud, needed to resolve this problem, is missing or damaged
