I have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but it does the same thing.

it happens with both new and existing projects.

Does anyone happen to know how to fix this?

--- Edit ---

Looks like Photoshop opens but the organizer is crashing now too.

tried to repair the organizer database but that did not help.
