I have cs5 on windows 10. Today it decided it won't open. No splash screen even appears. Task manager shows it's running. Ended task and tried again. Nothing. Can't run as administrator either. Tried to open it by clicking a PSD file, but still nothing. It just won't open even though it worked fine a couple days ago.

I have the install disks but can't find my reg code with the disk so I'm afraid to try to reinstall the suite.

Anyone know what else I can try?

Thanks in advance.

You should be fine, it's showing EOL meaning no support or security updates, you can download CS5 from here, I've tested the links and they work fine, it's a trusted site and the links are directed to Adobe servers

Remember to keep a backup copy of the downloads as the links might not work in the future

So I tried system restore, and it failed. It showed the error message in the attached screen cap. Seeing that, I went into task manager and ended the process for Acrobat, and Photoshop opened. 🙂

Just thought I'd add what the problem was and the cure in case anyone else has this issue, and wanted to thank you folks who tried to help. Much appreciated! Have a great day, y'all.

How about System Restore?

I haven't tried that ... yet. I was hoping to find a fix without going that far. I'll try that as a last resort later today if there aren't any other suggestions that work. Thank you for your reply. I appreciate it.
