PS keeps giving me a pop up screen stating its not working correctly

Question

Hi, I have been having this issue with PhotoShop for some time now, I keep my laptop up today as well as the app via the creative cloud site.

When I open photos or PNG files to work with it sometimes doesnt open them and then just freezes and I am forced to shutdown the program. Most times I get a pop up that says an error occurd with Adobe Photoshop and I need to close the program.

Any idea what is wrong or how I can fix this issue.

Thank you Jess

What have you done for all-purpose trouble-shooting so far?

Restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved might be a good starting point:
