LightroomClassic and Photoshop not talking

Hi Rob - I spent hours trying to do this at the weekend (before getting this message, actually) and neither uninstall button in CC works. I click on them and absolutely nothing happens. I thought it might be my other problem (popups not appearing) but shutting off my second monitor did not reveal any other windows. I cannot use the programs or get rid of them. This is turning into a real nightmare. Could it be a problem with the M1 Mac? I have had more problems in 6 months with the M1 than in the 6 uyears before it. What is the next escalation - I have talked to the help line and they have no idea, but didn't suggest asking someone else? Thanks for your help, anyway.

Thank you. Yes I have done this several times since this began. I addressed the plugin after an earlier comment in this thread. I mistakenily thought there was a plugin and tried to install the only one in my Adobe PS folder. It was called Generator and it would not install. I have not tried to install anything else. Just LR and PS , three times. For what it's worth, this problem along with not being able to save out of PS into LR have been going on for almost a month - long before I tried to install the non-existant plugin. It is getting very frustrating as I am wasting half my days trying to find a workflow workaround so I can get some work done. Thanks.

Hi Rob and thanks for this useful feedback.

I was under the impression that the "Edit In" function in LRC required a working plugin. I seem to recall adding one to a previous LR before there was a LRC. Needless to say I did not find a PS plugin but the PS 2022 folder in my Adobe file had one PS plugin called Generator - that was the one I tried to load but that gave the error message.

So I remain in the same position. When I want to take an image into PS from LRC I use the Edit In function, a window opens asking if I want to send a copy with LR adjustments, I select yes and continue, and nothing happens. PS doesn't open. If I open PS the image is not there. If I try to send it from LRC again, it doesn't open in PS. I have to drag the image from LRC onto the PS icon in the applications shortcuts on my desktop - then it opens. Everything works normally until I try to save the edited image. I use the "Save" function and one of two things happens. Nothing, or I get an error message "Cannot save no permission granted" (paraphrased). When I locate the original image it is still in the same folder but none of the PS edits were saved.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled both apps as you instructed and the problem remains. Not really sure what to do now. I have a stack of edited client images somewhere (I hope) but I can't get them back into LRC unless I find the PS files, save them to my desktop and reimport them into LR as if they were a new image. This means I end up with a mess in LRC, with copies of the same image in different folders. I have not tried removing every Adobe folder on my machine and starting over with a clean install of the CC app. I apologize for any confusion I caused in talking about plugins - I just assumed there was some packet of code that handled the round trip to PS and that was where the problem was. I am not sure there is anything else I should try but the help line didn't have any other suggestions. If reinstalling doesn't work I will try to rollback to the previous version of both apps. Thanks for your help!

I apologoze for the slow response - I'm afraid it did not help. I have been through the steps multiple times, just to be sure that everything was done exctly as you instructed. It's a little worse than it was because I cannot even find the edited images any more. Any other ideas worth trying? I was going to try to reinstall the  the version immediately before this one to see if that helps.
