Photoshop Not Opening Files

Try this:

While Photoshop is loading, hit control/alt/delete, then cancel. 

When I spoke with a Photoshop tech recently, he had heard of neither the problem nor the solution.

It's a hassle, but works for me.

I have the same problem and have done all the suggestions on the posts and nothing works really. last week I went bak to an older version and that seemd to work for a bit. This morniong it was working fine as until it started doing the same not letting me open files, and to force quit the app I have to do it through task manager.  it's really anoying.

I have the same problem. I have MacOS Big Sur v 11.2.3

I too have suffered grievously from my Photoshop's recurring inability to open files.  I've tried all the suggestion on this page and more, and none works. But I have a solution:  It is to call the Adobe Helpline, 1-800-833-6687.  When, after waiting a half hour, and describing the problem to the representative, you authorize Adobe to share your screen. When they enter your computer,  the problem disappears.... for a short time.  The next time it occurs you call them back and go through the same exercise. That's the only solution I know.

It shocks and disappoints me that Adobe seems so indifferent to this issue. The representatives I have spoken with tell me that haven't heard this complaint from other customers.  Hard to believe.

Same here!  

I have the same problem after the update. I found a suggestion to turn off the graphic processor and that did allow Photoshop to work if a bit slower than usual.

I find this

Turn off GPU support. Maybe it works.

I have the same problem 😕😕
