How to navigate straight to the Photoshop Elements Editor 2022 or Organizer 2022 (windows)

[Evgeny Buzov]

I want to navigate straight to the Photoshop Elements Editor or Organizer without viewing the Welcome Screen, on PSE 2022 bought from microsoft store.

Im tried to locate  *.exe files in VFS folder but they do not start (error message appears).

Hi,

Applications downloaded from Microsoft Store can only be launched from Home Screen.

Thanks!

What if you purchased directly from Adobe on your download page........how do you get rid of that awful Welcome screen?

Find the .exe that starts the editor and make a new shortcut on your destop using it.

That's insane.

The "Adobe Premiere Elements 2022.exe" file in Version 2022 opens the welcome screen.  I purchased my copy directly from Adobe.  While I look forward to some new tools added since my last version, forcing users to go through the welcome screen is a major disappointment.  It's sad that the first interaction with the new version is so negative.

You are not clicking on the correct exe file.  Lookit this, check the file location: it is the stardard location.

Thanks for the followup. The shortcut created by setup is "Premiere Elements Editor 2022" in c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 2022\Elements Home.  Of course Adobe's shortcut opens the Wlcome Screen.

When I create a shortcut for PremiereElementsEditor.exe in c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 2022 (the file you suggest), I get this error

I don't even understand what it says!

Premiere Elements was downloaded, installed and activated yesterday. The About screen says it is Version 20 (20220201.Git.main.8248e90).  Running on Windows 11 21H2 (22000.675).
