Photoshop 2025 (26.3) will not open. Keep getting "Adobe Photoshop 2025 quit unexpectedly" error message. I am running on a M1 MacBookPro with Sequoia 15.3.1 with 64 GB memory and up until last week it was running fine both as a plug-in to Lightroom and as stand-alone. I have run Apple diagnostics and had extensive discussions with Apple and everything on MacBook has come up fine. Reinstalled MacOS. Un-installed PS and reinstalled. Still doesn't open. Lightroom Classic (14.2) runs fine.

App installs and updates

An update on my issue. It was solved by a much better Adobe tech this time around. Ended up removing ALL Adobe files -preferencec, settings, installers, etc. Reinstalled my major apps and everything worked! Had corrrupted files somewhere. After reinstalling Lightroom Classic and starting from my catalog, everything was fine.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
