P: Photoshop Beta & v26.1 on Windows - Launch Error: dxcore.dll

[ValeriiN]

Today after the update I encountered that my Photoshop won't open due to this error: “(Photoshop beta.exe) Failed to continue code execution because the system did not detect dxcore.dll. To fix this error, try reinstalling the application.”
---

I have reinstalled several times already, but it didn't help me in any way. I also searched for solutions, but found nothing useful 😞
Since I urgently need the program for work, I wanted to install at least the previous version, but from what I understand, it is not possible to do so
---

Does anyone know how to fix it or how to install the previous version?

Thank you - the Beta version worked

[Chris38079266hn4z]

False..   same issue with Beta asking for DxCore.dll

[CShubert]

Thank you all for letting us know the latest Ps beta solved this issue.

Thanks,

WOW - So 1 person with a likely fake account (potentially even crafted by someone at Adobe) says "thanks it worked", and you ignore the post immediately following citing that it didn't work?    I (just now, 3:45pm ET, 11/28) completely uninstalled, reinstalled the latest Beta of Photoshop, and there is a distinct warning for DxCore.dll.    Since obviously Windows hasn't updated their software to suddenly reinstall DxCore.dll, and the new Beta still requires it, then obvously the latest Beta could not possible have resolved the issue.    Since this is "fixed", shall those who still have the issue open a new thread?

[Chris38079266hn4z]

If anyone who disclosed the issue originally could confirm it's fixed for you, I'll pursue other troubleshooting, but if anyone else can please confirm how you resolved, I would greatly appreciate it.

I can confirm as of 11AM Philippines time the beta finally works! I can now continue my AI work flow.

Still not working for me, does anyone else have and luck with this and do we have a timeframe?

We had the problem here on two computers. The beta build 26.2 solved it on both.

The latest PS beta version works, however the latest standard PS version not! Not even possible to open this version in Adobe Creative Cloud either.

[Gildas30769665rfrp]

ok, it now works. Please also update the production version !

[KML91]

I can confirm the Beta version is now working but the main Photoshop application is not due to the error.

[Grant37764334mfju]

I can't locate the PS Beta in my Creative Cloud, where is that located?

[CShubert]

Hi @Grant37764334mfju you will find them when you click on the Beta icon/text at the top.

Beta is working for me as of this morning.

Thank you!!

The issue is NOT solved for me. I still have the same errors as previously shared.

@Yadeeh32889830extc 

It may help if we could see your Photoshop beta System Info. Launch Photoshop beta, and select Help >System Info...and copy/paste the text in a reply.

I am unable to do the requested process given the error won't even launch either the full Photoshop nor the Beta. When I try to open Beta, I receive this message "The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP140_ATOMIC_WAIT.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem."

And, when I try the full Photoshop it states "The code execution cannot proceed because dxcore.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem." I hit OK, and another window error pops up stating the same as the Beta.

"For those of you still having this issue, please share your sysinfo:

I don't see where to change to the beta version. CShubert, your image is no where near what I see.

[defaultazn8j9f5giay]

It's under Beta Apps which is on the left side of your screenshot in the Categories section.

[willem_1566]

Cannot revert back to an older version, it only shows the current version.

[davescm]

@S.L.A.M. That looks like an old verion of the CC app. You might want to update that first.

[CShubert]

@S.L.A.M. yes, please make sure you have the latest CCD
