thanks for that... as I was unable to solve this issue, I decided to try a system restore and that has sorted the problem for the time being. I will pay particular attention for the next while to watch out for it happening again and see if I can home in on what caused it.

I have seen this answer from Rikk Flohr (Adobe Employee)
Past instances of this type of behavior have been fixed by:
1. Resetting the Photoshop Application's Preference File or
2. Reinstallation of Photoshop
Having kept settings (Preferences), your problem may not have been fixed.Try resetting Photoshop preferences first. PHOTOSHOP PREFERENCES RESET
As a last resort- use the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to 'un-install' Ps & LrC then re-install. CLEANER TOOL LINK
And as you reinstall both LrC and Ps, install Photoshop first.

thanks I have tried resetting the PS Preference and that has not worked.
I have used Creative Cloud to uninstall both LR and PS and when I reinstalled I did install PS first, I have not tried the Cleaner Tool yet.

When the 'link' between Lightroom Classic and Photoshop has issues, one of the first things to try is this:
1. Use the CC application to uninstall both Photoshop and Lightroom Classic and when asked, keep preferences.
2. Install Photoshop first, then Lightroom Classic.
Better?

Ok, but keep in mind, the order of reinstall is key.

thanks again, yes I did use Creative Cloud to do the uninstall and reinstall and I did pay attention to the order of reinstall and it has not helped.

"reinstalled them using the 'keep settings' option"
In your initial question- This would indicate you did NOT reset Preferences.
Have you tried the reset of Photoshop Preferences?

I have tried a reset of PS Prefs and that has not worked.

Just a thought, after following the procedure proposed by Rob and thedigitaldog, first boot the PS application to ensure the installation is “verified” and then exit PS.
Next boot LrC, and then attempt to use the “edit in option PS option”.

thanks, yes I have already done that, I have followed various suggestions I have found across the web and nothing works but to clarify I used CC to uninstall and reinstiall PS and LR. I paid attention to the order and installed PS first. I also did as you described and started PS first and left it for a while to make sure it was registering everything. I then closed it and started LR and tried to 'Edit if PS' and it did not work. I still have the problem.

It must be so annoying for you! Unless the same has been experienced by others watching the forum, it is hard to find an answer.
I looked back through some notes to find the attached PDF file that suggests-
Re-create the Photoshop.exe application path registry key
You are a Windows user, so this could still be a possible answer.
Warning, you need to be 'comfortable' to edit the Windows Registry and know where 2022 Photoshop.exe exists. If unsure, leave it alone.
Why your problem is only occuring with Raster bitmap files (JPG, TIF, PSD) is unusual. Do you have any problems opening these same files with other editors from File Explorer? And where are these problem files located in your hard-drive system?
So mostly 'stabbing in the dark' for an answer 😞
