Photoshop Crashing seconds after opening

Hi Derek, I have the same issue with Photoshop 2023, your solution does fix Photoshop for one session. But if I close it and re-open it the issue comes back again and it closes after a few seconds. Do you know if I can solve this permanently? I try installing an older version but the issue persists.

Which "solution" have you tried?

Which OS version?

How much RAM and spare hard disk capacity do you have?

I'm using Windows 11 Pro ver 22H2, I tried this solution:

"Try resetting your Photoshop prefrences which you can do under the General Tab in Photoshop preferences."

I have 48gb of ram and when running the app 40 are free. That was no an issue 3 days ago and no update was installed that day

Hi @Nicolas23492635p5u3 how much free HD space do you have on your main HD?

BTW - I split your post off into a new thread. You were commenting on a 4 year old post.

I do have a lot of free space. That's not the issue. Photoshop does open once after I reset The Photoshop preferences but I have to do it every time I want to open it. I'm trying to find a permanent solution.

@Nicolas23492635p5u3 what is "a lot" of free space?

What happens if you shift+right-click the Photoshop exe file and run as Administrator?

[Nicolas23492635p5u3]

I have 707GB Available. The same thing happen

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.

If that doesn't fix the issue:
Go to Preferences > Performance..., uncheck Multithreaded Compositing, and restart Photoshop.
Still crashing? 
Go to Preferences > Performance... click Advanced Settings... and uncheck "GPU Compositing" - then restart Photoshop. Still, crashing? 
Go to Preferences, Settings>Image Processing, and try changing the "Remove tool processing" from "Faster" to "More stable." Still, Crashing?

If none of the suggestions from Digital Dog and others haven't sorted out issue, consider using the Adobe Cleaner Tool to remove old Adobe versions and corrupt files: https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/creative-cloud/kb/cc-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
