Can you try using the Creative Cloud cleaner and remove PS.

Reboot the machine and try reinstalling PS.

Use the CC Cleaner Tool for installation issues

I'm using Mac and I had the same issue as well.

Turns out I need to update my Creative Cloud. Went to this website and downloaded the CC again: https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud

After downloading, I logged in to my Adobe account and I can access Photoshop again.

I also have this issue, I am running Windows 10, have the latest updates and versions of Adobe CC and its apps, I have tried all of the solutions listed in the thread, and not one of them works. The apps were working up until I installed a Cintiq 13HD touch, however, even now after I uninstall the tablet, the apps do not open. There isn't even an error message. I have uninstalled everything and reinstalled it, including my OS, and only then did my adobe programs function again. I thought I would try reinstalling the tablet and now I am back at ground zero, nothing works. My computer is extremely powerful so I know this isn't a hardware issue for me.

Photoshop CC 2015 will not open a single file in Windows 10. I checked for compatability and Windows told me Photoshop is not compatible. I uninstalled and it opened two files in an unstable state and then reverted to not opening at all. I opened as Admin and same problem. I need Photoshop and ALL my Adobe products to work. Please advise when it will become compatible. It is clear there is a disconnect between Adobe and Windows. I should NOT have to go into a registry and start deleting files to get this to work. I am on the Creative Cloud so that support is there for these issues. Again, please update a fix.

I am having the same problem with my Mac Tower - Photoshop CS6 - but I think I shut it down wrong because the mac was frozen and I had to reboot - now I'm stuck - any suggestions?

Try doing what I did and delete the ADM folder in the  'Required\Plug-ins folder.  In windows it's located at  C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Required\]Plug-ins

I have found an option that worked perfectly for me.  Go to the "C:\Program Files (86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Required\Plugins"  Copy and save the ADM folder in a safe location. Delete the folder from the plugins, in the path given, and restart Photoshop.  I did this for the 64 bit version as well in the same location under C:\Program Files\........  This worked instantly for me, and have not had the problem reappear.  Try it, if something happens then you can return the saved folder back to Photoshop.

I have been entering on another thread details of the same problem.

see here     Photoshop will not restart

No one from Adobe appears to be interested.  I was aware of the problem probably about 2 months ago before the latest Photoshop update. Up to then the pc had been very stable and this just occurred out of the blue. Since then I have done a clean installation of windows 10 on several occasions. On some installations the first programs installed after windows was fully updated was Photoshop and still the problem occurred, so it was not caused by any other installation. My pc is open to windows updates which are installed immediately so I have a feeling that is where the problem came from initially. Unfortunately because I have been testing with clean installations of windows 10 I am not able to roll back the updates.

Regarding the updates to Microsoft Visual C++ I have got all of the latest, but it has made no difference.

To help with living with the problem, which I will have to do, I have installed a short cut on my desktop to the task manager so that if I forget and close down Photoshop I can get restarted by just deleting the Photoshop task rather than go through the problem of rebooting.

I have another pc happily accepting Windows and Photoshop updates with all of the same programs installed, and that has not presented the problem!

Life is never simple.
