Run Photoshop and Photoshop Beta together on Windows?

I noticed that you can run and use both apps together on macOS, but not on Windows 11.

It's a weird behavior, not sure if intentional.

 

On Windows, if I have either version open and try to open the other one, it just redirects me to the already open version, so no way of me to opening the other one.

    Hi @lucellent Windows does not allow multiple versions of the app to be open at the same time.

    Why is it that both can be open on macOS but not on Windows?

    Just the way the operating system works, nothing Adobe can control. It has always been like this.
