adobe photoshop cc 2014 has stopped working in windows 8

The workaround solution for our university labs computers was the following:

Before Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 crashes on startup

Press Ctrl and G (To access preferences before it crashes) then under Adobe Photoshop select |Edit | Preferences | Plugins| uncheck the 'Load Extension Panels' and Save setting on exit.

This seems to prevents the crash from reoccurring on startup.

Once we confirm this resolved the problem. We then updated the Adobe Photoshop file on all profiles to disable 'load extension panels'

\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 Settings\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 Prefs.psp

I have windows 7 home premium and removed the sniffer file and its all working fine now. Thanks.

Hi, I have a Win8.1 64 bit and after my Creative Cloud updated Photoshop CC 2015 yesterday, my Photoshop keeps crashing after I attempt to close a image file that I opened and modified.  Any assistance with how to debug this issue is greatly appreciated.

HI, I have windows 7 64 bit and the other day updated to the current photoshop cc version

And now I get the stopped working error and all sorts of weird stuff going on. Really can't use the program now where before the update things were fine. And upon exit or save get the stopped working error and have to shut down loosing any changes/work. Here is the log from the last time and decided to search the web and landed on the thread. So, any suggestions. Thanks!

Looks like all the original people on this post have found a solution to this problem.

For those (like me) who came here looking for some guidance, here is what I did.

I contacted Adobe via the online chat option and explained what was happening when I opened Photoshop CC 2014. He had me go into C:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CC 2014/ and move the file called 'sniffer' to the desktop. Once I did this the program started up perfectly without an issue.

Hope this helps someone.

Uninstalling NIK fixed it for me.

getting the same error - here's the data from the Application Event log:

Check the Windows System Event Viewer for the details of the crash, most importantly the name of the faulting module.

The most common cause is bugs in video card drivers.

I am having the same issue  :-(
