Could not open photoshop

Hey, ​@raphael55. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I’ll help you figure this out. I’ve moved your post to questions for now. There could be a few external factors that sometimes prevent Photoshop from launching. 

For now, try these steps to boot in Safe mode, and for manually recreating the MSVC++ Libraries:

• In the Creative Cloud app, press CTRL + ALT + T (Win) to launch Creative Cloud Troubleshooter & select 'Close Creative Cloud and related processes' > click on Go.
• Go to 'Add or Remove programs' in Windows search & find all the installations of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable (all years).
• Uninstall them completely. Even if there is an option to repair them, please uninstall all the existing MSVC++ packages.
• Download a fresh package of installers for MSVC++ from this link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170
• Right-click the downloaded file and select Extract All.
• Reinstall all packages (32bit & 64bit) one by one & then restart the computer once.

If this does not help, 

You can try booting the machine into Windows Safe Mode (with networking) via Advanced Restart to see if that helps. Steps from Microsoft here:https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-startup-settings-1af6ec8c-4d4a-4b23-adb7-e76eef0b847f 

Let me know how it goes from here. Thanks!
