I recently downloaded Elements 21 and it was working fine, but now when I click to open the Elements Editor, it will not load. I tried reinstalling the software and that doesn't work. I'm on a Mac which is up to date. Any suggestions?

Thank you Bob, good suggestion.

I clicked on System Preferences, then Security and Privacy, then Click on Lock to make changes, then Full Disk Access. Then I checked the boxes for Adobe Elements 2021 and Adobe Elements 2021 Organizer. Finally, I clicked on the lock again to prevent further changes.

I'm on a PC and, like many others, suddenly photoshop elements stopped (photo editor) - although Premiere Video Editor worked fine, although it took a long time to open. It's unfortunate that these programs feel deliberately crippled and terrible UI as an incentive to upgrade to a monthly subscription.

I have plenty of ram 64GB, disk space, processing power, etc. Photoshop Elements 2020 just stopped working and must use this organizer. Frustrating.

I ended up calling support. They had to do a remote fix. I'm fairly techy, but this was more complicated than expected so I'd recommend you do the same. Didn't take long and I wasn't on hold long at all from what i recall.
