I am getting an error on launch of photoshop that says it has encountered an unrecoverable error.

 

I have tried reinstalling as well as older versions of photoshop but the error still persists.

 

Does anyone have a solution to the problem?

Adobe has change its GPU support in PS 22  If you updated ACR 13 would be installed.  When you reinstall PS 21.2.4 you may need to to reinstall ACR 12 for ACR 13 GPU support may have been updated  to use new supported gpu features.

 

Also check the HP site see if there is a newer Device Driver for your Latop's graphics....

what is ACR13?  or ACR 12 where do i find it.  I can ask hp about the device driver as my computer is only 6 weeks old I am so besides myself as I have pictures to do for someone I did a photoshoot for and now I am 6 weeks late.  I honestly need help.

Which Photoshop version which os version? You may need to install ACR verson 12 if your GPU is not a current GPU.

I am currently running the 22.1 version. It can't be a graphics card issue as I am running a RTX 2070.

Interesting update.

 

If I open an image in photoshop it launches just fine. If I try and launch it through cc I get the error.
