Randomly this morning I started up Photoshop as I do most days and it crashed. Tried several times and each time crashed on SPLASH Screen - Initilizing tools. I update to the latest version, same issue. I downgraded to a previous version, same issue. I can't send my crash logs as when the crash log screen starts up it also crashes... 😞 please help.

Hello again, unfortunatleyu this has not resolved the issue. Completeley removed all Adobe products using the tool hoping a fresh start would help. Reinstalled Photosopshop and now joy. It would appear to be the only app I have that does not work. Any more ideas?

Alas I do not have this, I think because it is crashing on a new install (I uinstalled/reinstalled) nothing has initialised as it crashes at the startup.
