Premier elements 2018 no longer opens PSE 2018 does !

For some reason when I click on the Premier Elements shortcut it no longer opens.

I tried going straight to the premier elements.exe program in the Adobe folder with the list of files still no.

I tried open as administrator still no.

I did a system restore to a date which I knew it was working - still doesn't open.

Photoshop Elements 2018 opens OK

I have a copy of Premiere Elements 15 that opens OK.

any help greatly appreciated

Bill

    Haven't done it yet - will do later this week - I just deleted the downloads a week ago - (but they are on a drive somewhere) - never ever had this with any program before but I see I'm not the only one - I thought adobe must know why this happens and it would be a simple case of downloading a new exe file and a couple dll files.

    Luckily there is no rush I

    thanks anyway Bill

    If you have not done it, uninstall the existing Premiere Elements, reboot, re-install Premiere Elements, reboot and then check.

    Not sure where you found many other people with the same issue.   Keep in mind that Premier Elements is "best selling" video editing software sold in multiple languages around the world.   At the first hint of trouble, users gravitate to this forum.   Following this forum for a few years, the more likely conclusion is that refusing to run after previously running well is a hint towards a hardware problem. 

    Do you need a link to a fresh download?
