    Maybe the content database needs to be reset.

    Go to

    C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\15.0

    and delete the

    ThumbDatabase.db3

    then go to

    C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\15.0\Locale\en_US

    and delete the

    MediaDatabase.db3

    Start the pse 15 editor and wait for the content/effects database to rebuild, which can take about 5 to 10 minutes.
