I am saving images (JPEG, PSD, etc.) from Adobe Elements to my Windows folders, but when I navigate to those folders My Computer > Folders the images are NOT showing up.

However, if I use Adobe Elements File > Open, then I can see that the images are present in those folders.

Also having problems with Elements crashing when I try to save an image. Then when I reboot the program, the images that I saw before through Elements are no longer present.

I have reviewed and changed Windows Explorer preferences and options to show hidden files, but the problem persists.

I have uninstalled and re-installed Elements, but the problem persists.

This problem started suddenly. I used Abode Photoshop Creative Suites for 10+ years, but switched to Elements a few years ago.

Can anyone help me?

My system:

PC

Windows 10

Adobe Elements 14

    To resolve the crash, try clearing the preferences once.

    To do so, go to Edit > Preferences and click on Reset Preferences on next launch.

    Now re-launch Editor.

    Regarding saved file not visible in Windows Explorer, what is the format you are using to s ave the files?

    Thanks,

    I fixed the problem.

    I downloaded the latest Windows update.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled Elements, and downloaded the latest update.

    That seems to have fixed the problem.
