Does anyone know how to fix an issue related to photoshop not being able to open Jpgs, jepgs and Raw files?
Hi everyone,
I’m having an issue with Photoshop 2026 on Windows 11.
Photoshop opens normally and I can create/edit blank documents, but it instantly crashes when opening:
- JPG/JPEG files
- RAW files
- Lightroom “Edit in Photoshop”
PNG files open correctly without problems.
Also, clicking Preferences > Camera Raw crashes Photoshop immediately.
System:
- Predator Helios 300
- i7 10th Gen
- RTX 2060
- Lightroom Classic 2026
Things already tried:
- Reinstalled Photoshop, Lightroom, and Camera Raw
- Reset Photoshop preferences
- Disabled GPU acceleration
- Installed NVIDIA Studio Driver
- Cleared Camera Raw cache/settings
- Disabled plugins
- Restarted Windows multiple times
Has anyone experienced Photoshop crashing only with JPG/JPEG and RAW files while PNG works fine?
Thank you!
