Hello there,

My photoshop is crashing at start up. It crashes while loading "reading preferences".
I have been using it since febuary last year with zero issues. Nothing has changed with my system and I am up to date with the latest version. My PC is suitable to run all adobe suite software.

I have read through the community posts but have not found a response that has helped me. I have unistalled/reinstalled. Delete the prefernces files from both within the cloud app and from directly in the appdata file.

Nothing seems to get it starting. I noticed a few days it ago it was loading slower now as of today it is not loading at all. I used it yesterday. This has only ever happend with this new update.

I have also held control-alt-shift and deleted the prefferences that way.

Hi

Please report the 22.3 bugs to the product developers here https://feedback.photoshop.com/  so Adobe staff can see it.

Until the 22.3 bugs are fixed, you can revert to 22.2 using the Creative Cloud app.

Thanks for letting us know about the option to be able to revert to the previous version.
