Photoshop 26.11 Crash on startup

Explorer ,
Sep 30, 2025 Sep 30, 2025

Updated to latest photoshop version, windows 11 version and GPU driver.

Crash every single time. Even tried restoring to 25.12.4, sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn't work. Here's the log. What can I do?

Hi @Rinthe1! Thanks for reaching out.
From your post history, it looks like you've been experiencing crashes since at least August across multiple versions of Photoshop, has this been happening for a while now?
It would really help to take a look at your System Info. You can find it in Photoshop under Help > System Info. Just copy the details into a text file and attach it to your reply, or feel free to share it via Google Drive, WeTransfer, or any other file-sharing service you prefer.
Thanks so much!

Thanks for the updates, @Rinthe1. I couldn't find crash reports submitted with the account you've signed in to the community with. If you see a crash dialogue, submit it with your Adobe ID. Check here for more steps: https://adobe.ly/3Wpjx0B 

 

Do you know if this happens with the specific documents? Is it stored on an external drive or in a folder associated with cloud backup services? Working through a network, or an external drive, is unpredictable & is not recommended. Head here to learn more: https://adobe.ly/3A2G2zK

 

Something as basic as 'Run as Administrator' helps in a few cases. 

 

Just head to the Photoshop installation folder (Default - C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2025)

Find Photoshop.exe > right-click > use 'Run as Administrator'.

 

If this does not help, try booting the Windows device in Safe Mode with networking to check how Photoshop behaves: https://adobe.ly/43BzvZ3

 

 

Let me know how it goes. Thanks!

There are no crash report/dialogue that comes up. it just closes after I see the photoshop window briefly.

 

I tried run as admin, no luck.

Safemode with networking seemed to work. ANd I was able to get system info from safemode:

@Rinthe1 

Your GPU isn't seen or recognized in the system at all. It should be listed in the system info, but there's no trace of it.

 

First of all, go into your machine user account and find the Photoshop 2025 Settings folder (users > your name > appdata > roaming > Adobe). Move it to your desktop so a new one can be rebuilt. This returns the application to clean factory state. Corrupt preferences/settings can take unexpected forms and often look like application bugs.

 

What GPU do you have in the machine? When was the driver for it installed/updated last? Go to their site and find the latest stable version (if Nvidia, use the studio version, not the game ready version).

 

Is the GPU properly seated? Does it have adequate power supply? Is the fan running?

 

If none of this works, there's a deeper system problem. In that case, maybe a BIOS update for your motherboard is needed.

I have a 3090. Drivers all updated to the the latest. It is functioning correctly. All other applications and games recognize my GPU... so why is photoshop not picking it up?

I've tried deleting the setting folders many times. I've tried uninstall completely, delete all settings folders, reinstalling too.

Another vote for crashing @ 26.11 version. I have resulted in going back to 26.10 and it was tempermental however I can get it to load almost every time. Windows 11 24H2 (if that helps)

Your GPU link is a 404. Also, the startup crash isn't locking on brushes or Conversion, it's just that those are typically the longest to load, but in reality, it's happening at a random point in the startup. Still happens even if i turn the gpu sup off, and the Adjustment layer hue&sat bug is back.

Thanks for the update, @adamt18510785. I've updated the link to the help page. For the Hue Sat issue, is this what you see? https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-bugs/p-adjusting-layer-properties-don-t-work-for-...

If yes, we've recently successfully found a set of reproduction steps that will help investigate and release a fix soon. 

 

Thanks!

I use 26.8.1. I don't update. It's been my experience "UPDATES" break the working system so I don't do it. Adobe will be history with me once the year is up because of their flakey updates. I don't usually buy software because the free stuff is usually better if not equal to the PAID nonsense and It's certainly NOT worth continuing to pay for if it can't be updated.

ok now the issues is that photoshop do not load or open at all, either 25 version or 26, they simply DON'T load. Am I loosing money and commissions? Yes. Do I need still to pay YOU for making me lose money Adobe? Yes. 

Y'all need to resolve this or ooooh boy I will buy all affinity and simply say goodbye as all the artists lately do. 

This is frustrating.
