Photoshop Crashes at 'Finding System Profiles' After Windows 11 Update – Reinstall Didn't Help

Hi @blake_8690, Thanks for reaching out, and welcome to the Photoshop forums! Let's try a few things to resolve your issue.

1. Reset Photoshop Preferences: Go to: C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop [version]. Move the Settings folder to your desktop (this backs it up). Relaunch Photoshop to regenerate fresh preferences.

2. Clear Font Cache: Delete the CT Font Cache folder from the same directory. Restart your system and try launching Photoshop again.

3. Disable Plug-ins Temporarily: Hold Shift while launching Photoshop to skip loading plug-ins. If it opens successfully, a plug-in may be causing the crash.

4. Update Graphics Drivers: Use Device Manager to update your GPU drivers. Then, in Photoshop, Go to Edit > Preferences > Performance. Uncheck the Use Graphics Processor, then restart.

To help you better with this issue, we would like a few more details. Can you send your system info so we can try replicating it? You can find this by going to Help > System Info, copying and pasting it into a text file, and attaching it here. Thanks! ^CH
