Photoshop 2020 / Windows 10 (1909) Crash / Initialize Disk Error

[milosm36221195]

Hi Guys

Photoshop 2020 (21.0.1) can't start.

Everytime this happens:

"Could not initialze Photoshop because of a disk error."

The Controll+alt command @ start up doesn't work to Switch scratch disk.

Recently i updatet my nvidia studio driver to Version 441.28 (2x GTX 1080ti)

After that i have this problem.

Any ideas? (Rollback my Nvidia Driver?)

Hello, did you also try the reset preferences shortcut, CTRL+ALT+Shift?

[milosm36221195]

Yes i did it... (Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings File)

Crash again in the proccess of Initialazing....

I uninstall & reinstall nothing works.

I install the older Version 20.0.7, same issue.

All other Adobe Apps run smooth with no problems...

After Effects have some Problem with CameraRaw but i think this is other problem...

I think you may want to check if you actually do have a disk error, with the Event Log.

Reinstall CameraRaw_12_0...

Now everything works....

How did you manage to do that. It's one of two items in Creative Cloud that you can't uninstall or install from the dashboard. Any suggestions?
