Photoshop won't launch correctly with new Surface Book 2

[Kovaks33]

I just got a new surfacebook 2  15inch I7, nvidia 1060, 16gb memory

I am having issues launching photoshop, it opened yesterday but froze and crashed, I updated windows and nvidia drivers and now when I open it launches a gray screen with nothing but the ribbon menus, I can access those but the rest of the screen wont launch. It then closes itself within a about 15 seconds, I can find it in task manager after 50% of the time it isusing some memory but no CPU the other 50% it is not responding. I have updated windows to 1909 18363.535 and also updated my nvidia driver to the latest creative for my GPU.

I have uninstalled PS and CC and run the cleaning tool and reinstalled, no fix, I tried turning off graphical processing no change.

One strange thing is that it does seem to not have me logged into PS even though i am logged into CC.

I appreciate any help.

Hi there,

Sorry to hear about Photoshop crashing on the Surfacebook 2, could you please uninstall photoshop but make sure to choose the option “Yes, remove app preference”.

Once that process finishes, start the installation process and look into the “Advanced Options”. Uncheck “Import previous settings and preferences” and choose to “Remove old versions”.

Let us know if it helps.
Regards,
Sahil

So I installed V20.0.8 and I can get it to at least launch and load a new canvas but it also stops responding and closes itself after about 30 - 60 seconds. all of the newer version only have the grey screen below and also don't have me signed in in PS even though I'm signed in on CC.
