Camera Raw no longer launches Photoshop when I click the Open button.

Camera Raw no stopped launching Photoshop when I clicked the Open button. I was working a couple days ago.

I have a Windows 11 PC with all the latest updates.

I am using Bridge 16.0.6.9, Camera Raw 18.4.1 and Photoshop 27.8.0

Any suggestions?

    I found the problem. After playing around for a while, I discovered this only happened to the RAW images in one folder. (FYI, I only had RAW files in that folder.) The problem was that folder’s name had an apostrophe in the name. Example: UncleJoe’sFarm. When I remove the apostrophe, launching and transferring the image to Photoshop worked as usual.
