Camera Raw stopped working with last Photoshop Update to Version 25.11.0 on Windows

[markusk96044643]

Hello,

it seems like since the last update of Photoshop to Version 25.11.0 Camera Raw stopped working.
When trying to use the shortcut or opening it from the dropdown menu (Filter > Camera Raw Filter), it seems something is happening, however the camera raw window itself is not visible at all.
How do I get to that conclusion? When using the shortcut, the options to edit the image itself disappear - plus when using the ESC key they reappear.
So it seems like the window is somehow open but not visible?!

Is there anything I can do? Anyone else got that issue?

Thanks in advance.

I've resetted Photoshop completely, now it magically works again.

I have this problem, the RAW window is not visible in Photoshop 25.12.0 after an update. Pressing Escape opens the image, but I can't edit it in RAW so it's pointless. I've reset the preferences, turned off the GPU, tried to open the files in Bridge, nothing works. This is a locked-down work laptop so my options for moving or replacing files are zero. Plugging the laptop into a second monitor does nothing and I'm out of ideas with a million files to edit. My only thought is that Photoshops preferences are not actually being deleted on closure despite my ticking the box for it to do so. Anyone?

In Help/GPU compatibility, is the GPU properly recognized?

[Carl5C14]

Thanks for the reply. Yes, the GPU is recognised (Iris Xe), just in case it was this I had the video driver updated but nothing works. I have an old PC with CS6 on that I can use for non-Canon RAW files, but Photoshop CC RAW seems to be fundamentally broken on Dell Latitude 7430 laptops with Iris Xe beyond v24. I suspect that the RAW edit window is in some virtual space that I can't access by plugging in a single HDMI screen, I'll see if someone has a USB monitor that I can plug in at the same time to see if that can find the missing window. Macs used to have a thing where you could force various virtual screens forward to play Quicktime files on specific windows, but I don't think anything similar ever existed for Windows.

Have you reset the Camera RAW preferences file?

[Carl5C14]

Yes, it's still not visible. I'll take it back over to IT and see if they can install Canon EOS to kick it into view. It's something to do with my old external monitor (now gone) and the graphics card. In the meantime I can use Lightroom (which I hate using for individual files) or my old CS6.

I managed to fix it by replacing the old 1920 x 1080 monitor with a 3840 curved one. An expensive solution paid for by my employer, so all working now. If you don't have access to an employer with deep pockets, I wouldn't recommend using the smaller Dell Latitudes with newer versions of Photoshop if you do a lot work in RAW.
