Photoshop doesn't open...ish

I would say Adobe Photoshop isn't really opening, but it's still able to run.

However, I'm not able to access either any files, raw images, or literally anything using Photoshop. Instead of Photoshop running normally whenever I click the shortcut, it just "runs" as a "background processes"

Ya know, a thing that Photoshop is not supposed to do.

This has been going on for the past 3 days, which doesn't make any sense since I was able to use Photoshop 3 days ago, with no added plugins or modifications what so ever. I've run through a ton of "Photoshop isn't opening" posts and so far nothing has worked. If anyone have any suggestions on what to do here, that'll be great.

Hi

I assume you can't access the Photoshop interface, if so there's another way to reset the preferences, go to this location

C:\Users\You User Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2018\Adobe Photoshop CC 2018 Settings

Then delete the Adobe Photoshop CC 2018 Prefs.psp

You my need to enable hidden items to view the files

If that doesn't work try reinstalling Photoshop using the Adobe cleaner tool

Use the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems

Edit: forgot the mention make sure you end Photoshop.exe task in task manager before deleting the preference file
