Also, you might want to confirm whether you are using the latest version of Photoshop (Photoshop CC 2019, version 20) or Photoshop Elements 2020 (just released, but a different forum).

I think you may have Photoshop CC 2019.

Try resetting your Photoshop preferences, which you can do under the General tab in Photoshop preferences.

Which seems to be difficult since Negui14 told us that PS closes as soon as it is launched.

Negui14, try to press and hold Alt+Ctrl+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac) as you start Photoshop. Maybe PS will have enough time to reset the Preferences before crashing.
