I'm running Windows 11 and Photoshop was running fine. Now after the big update I not longer can start up Photoshop. I shows the menu structure and then closes down. No other messages, just gone.
Lightroom in contrary works perfect. No issues at all.
Any ideas?
What I did to solve it:
I rebooted my pc. I also looked at the event viewer of Windows. You can see the text earlier.
I noted that ucrtbase.dll was the faulthy module. A windows file! Something to do with CRT (the old fashion displays). This hinted me to my screen configurations.
Normally I have Photoshop displaying on a second big screen. This screen was off, as I just wanted a quick look how the new masking looked like. It has never been a problem as it automatically reverts to the primary screen

I can't open Photoshop as it crashes. How do I reset those preferences without opening it? Could not find it in de link you posted.

Thank you. What I did:
I rebooted my pc. I also looked at the eventviewer of Windows. You can see the text down a little.

When I switched on the second screen all was normal again and Photoshop started as it should. I also can move it to primary screen. No problem.
Thanks for helping.

I have looked to the event viewer of Windows and it says:
Faulting application name: Photoshop.exe, version: 23.0.0.36, time stamp: 0x61673924
Faulting module name: ucrtbase.dll, version: 10.0.22000.1, time stamp: 0x00e78ce9
Exception code: 0xc0000409
Fault offset: 0x000000000007dd7e
Faulting process id: 0x6fd0
Faulting application start time: 0x01d7ccce434a16c8
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2022\Photoshop.exe
Faulting module path: C:\WINDOWS\System32\ucrtbase.dll
Report Id: 652c2e1b-c7c7-44ea-8800-b2bf32d02f29
So the faulty module is ucrtbase.dll
