Photoshop crashes on startup

Hi there,

I'm running into that problem with every new update. Photoshop starts, I see the opening screen ... and then it crashes without further notice. Deleting my preferences and it will work fine. Until I close it and try to run it again. I'm running Adobe (latest version) on a laptop WIN (11 Pro / 22000.1219)
Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot

Martin

You could also try removing any plugins that you've installed.

When Photoshop crashes, this is the first thing to do, try resetting your Photoshop preferences. Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (macOS) immediately after launching Photoshop. You will be prompted to delete the current settings. You can also reset preferences upon a quit if Photoshop is running by going into General Preferences>General>Reset on Quit.

If that doesn't fix the issue:
Go to Preferences > Performance... and uncheck Multithreaded Compositing - and restart Photoshop.
Still crashing? 
Go to Preferences > Performance... click Advanced Settings... and uncheck "GPU Compositing" - then restart Photoshop. Still crashing?
