Cant open files in Photoshop v27.6.0

Hi ​@Thijs de Leeuw ​@FixThisTrash,

Thanks for the additional reports and details. I’d like to rule out a couple of macOS file access/association issues first.

Please check the following:

• Right-click any PSD file > Get Info. Confirm it is correctly associated with Photoshop 27.6.
• Then also check System Settings > Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access. Make sure Photoshop is listed there and enabled. If not listed, add Photoshop manually, then restart it afterward.
• Go to Preferences > Performance (Windows) or Photoshop > Settings > Performance (Mac), and uncheck "Use Graphics Processor." Restart Photoshop and try again.
• Hold Shift while launching Photoshop to skip loading plug-ins.
• Try opening the file from a local drive (not a network or cloud location).
• Go to Edit > Preferences > Technology Previews (Windows) or Photoshop > Settings > Technology Previews (Mac), and uncheck "Enable Modern User Interface." Restart Photoshop and try again.

Since this appears intermittent and may involve document/file access state handling, could both of you also please share:

• Photoshop System Info. Help > System Info. Copy & paste it here
• A short screen recording showing attempting to open PSD files, Menus becoming greyed out & Photoshop partially responding.
• Does the issue happen with ALL files or specific files?
• Did this issue start immediately after updating to v27.6.0?

Let us know the details, and we'll dig in further!

Best,

pref reset does not work.  I had to move to another machine, and it's doing the same thing, but thanks for allowing me the pleasue of resetting all my shortcuts.  

I seem to have the same issue. Even after a reset of the Photoshop preferences and a clean install of photoshop. 

Opening a PSD file through double-click or cmd+o the regular opening animation runs but nothing actually opens in Photoshop. It seems to happen less when not opening PSD’s to quickly after one another.

I can still navigate some Photoshop panels like I can pick a different brush. All menu items are greyed out. I can quit Photoshop. After restarting Photoshop PSD’s tends to open until they randomly don’t.
