Organizer 2026 Ver. 20251112.EO.64802456 not loading Photo Editor, instead offers "Download trial" "Photoshop Elements for free". I already bought & installed PSE 2026 that was loading Photo Editor from Organizer before this apparent update.

Use the the installer you can get from your Adobe account, which is the PhotoshopElements_2026_LS30_win64.exe.

Just to be clear: After an apparent automatic PSE 2026 update, opening Photo Editor from Organizer produced a prompt to "Download trial" "Photoshop Elements for free"., I had to uninstall PSE 2026 and reinstall it with the PhotoshopElements_2026_LS30_win64.exe to get Photo Editor Version: 26.1 (20251103.PSE.3b4992eb) x64.

Note: Organizer remains Version 26.0 (20251112.EO.64802456) only Photo Editor updates to Version 26.1

Something similar happened here on Windows 11 after the update to Photoshop Elements 26.1.

 

I had to uninstall Photoshop Elements 2026, then reinstall to get things right.

You can get the 26.1 installer from your Adobe account.

Should I reinstall PSE 2026 with the current original PhotoshopElements_2026_LS30_win64.exe or should I click on the "Download trial" "Photoshop Elements for free"  button and expect it to recognize that I already have purchased PSE 2026?
