PSD files no longer associated

[discoveringdestiny]

Overnight, my PSD file icons have become blank white rectangles.  Also, if I click on a PSD file to open it, I get a message asking what program to use, and photoshop is not listed.  It seems my PSD files are no longer associated with the 2022 release.  Can someone please advise how to fix this?  Thank you.

That probably happened because your earlier versions were uninstalled as you installed 2022. There's a checkbox to not do that and leave them installed (just for future reference).

The outgoing version can sometimes take associations with it and leave them orphaned.

First try to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop. If that doesn't work, go into Windows Settings and set associations manually. It's under Apps > Default Apps > Choose default applications by filetype:

In the future, always install in strict version order, and uninstall in reverse version order. Last in, first out. That's always safe.

I have the same problem but it's not related to uninstalling the previous version, as I kept both.  Windows file association by file type will not let me choose Photoshop 2022.  I can associate files in Bridge but Windows won't associate any files with Photoshop 2022.  This problem only began quite awhile after I installed the updated version.

This is not the first time this has happened.

Same here. But I can't choose Photoshop to link with the .psd
It is the only extension that is corrupt.

See If you can set the Association from Windows File explorer. Right click on a PSD file. Click Open With the choose an other program.

I'm having the same issue with PremierePro (and possibly Photoshop). When I try any of the normal ways to relink a file association with PremierePro 2022, such as JJMack's instructions above, when I click Open at the end, it opens 2021 instead and tells me that this is too old to open my file.
