Photoshop not responding with windows 10?

Explorer ,
Aug 06, 2015 Aug 06, 2015

Copied

Ever since I upgraded to Windows 10, which was two days ago, I have been unable to use Photoshop. InDesign and Illustrator work fine, but the second after the load screen of Photoshop has finished and the main screen appears, Photoshop freezes. I have to use task manager to close the program. No error messages generated during the whole process.

Any solutions for this problem? Photoshop (and other installed programs of Adobe CC) is (are) completely up to date.

Make sure you have Windows 10 Display Device drivers installed.  I after I upgraded to windows I had to install new display device drivers to get my displays working correctly with Windows 10. AMD/ATI, Nvidia and Intel all release new device drivers for their products for Windows 10.  The Windows 10 upgrade also broke my Homegroup on my network I had to use a sledge hammer to destroy the old Homegroup and then create a new one.

This might be because of Preferences file

Go to C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe and copy the Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 Folder to your Desktop(To back up settings)/Appdata is hidden folder

  • To backup Plugins Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 copy Plugins to Desktop
  • Start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the Dialogue box that pops up.

I copied both folders to my desktop and opened the application while holding Crtl+Alt+Shift. I got the dialogue box and clicked yes. The application is still not responding.

Forget my first reply. I let the application run in the background for a few minutes. I wanted to close the application, but for some reason (whether or not the Crtl+Alt+Shift option) it was working again.

So thank you for your advice!

Hello!

I have almost the same problem with Win10.

PS launches, opens up - but after a second - it "stopped working", and quits.

Video, monitor drivers and windows10 are up to date. PS was reinstalled.

BUT, there's one thing - when PS opens up and I can fast open menu with preferences - then it does not quit. After I close the menu - it quits in a glance.

Removing the prefs - didnt help

How make PS work? Any ideas?

I followed this step but no use

This might be because of Preferences file

Go to C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe and copy the Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 Folder to your Desktop(To back up settings)/Appdata is hidden folder

  • To backup Plugins Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 copy Plugins to Desktop
