New MacBook Air, installed Photoshop Elements 2022 Version 20.0 ....... and it won't start. It immediately crashes upon clicking the icon.
Yup I've tried all the rebooting, uninstalling and re-installing. 
Anyone?

Dying to know. 

Cheers, O.

Your OS is more than likely too new for your version of PSE.  Adobe won't issue any updates for older versions- your version is considered "legacy" software now. 

Here is a link to a 7 day free trial of pse 2025:

Since you haven't told us what version your os is I had to make a educated guess.   OS15.2- sequoia is the latest version.  What version do you have?-- the number part- like "15.2"

Is there an error message?

If so, what exactly does it say?

Alas no. The icon in the dock barely bounces once and then nothing happens.
