Photoshop doesn't open

If I tried to open it, it kicks me out at the start. Photoshop does it very occasionally but that's only 2/10 after 50 times trying to get it open. I think I've tried almost everything. My photoshop is up to date and it still doesn't work. I even uninstalled Photoshop and downloaded it again. I've tried Photoshop 2022 and that doesn't work either. I even have over 200 GB left on my laptop if that should have anything to do with it. And it can't be my laptop either, it's only 3 years old.

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.

(macOS only) Open the Preferences folder in the Library folder*, and drag the Adobe Photoshop CS Settings folder to the Trash.


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?
