Really sorry, tez.  Have you tried navigating to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 2019\ and double clicking PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe and immediately holding alt-ctl-shift keys down?  If this works you'll be presented with an option to delete the settings file.  Say yes.  If this doesn't work try uninstalling PSE entirely and reinstalling it.

I downloaded Photoshop 2020 on 2/16/2020. I am on Windows 10. Ps Elements will open Sony Raw files (ARW) but if I right click the file name Photoshop Elemnts is not in the Open with... Menu.

Walter, press your Windows logo key and type default apps [click open].  Scroll down a bit and select and Choose default apps by file type then wait a moment for the long list to appear.  Scroll to "ARW" and select your Photoshop Elements app.

Thank you,, Phinny. I will try it.

That didn't work. 

I get a message to select from four options
1. Adobe CS4 (that I have installed),
2. Photos,
3. Snip and Sketch;
4. Look for an app in the MS Store 

The only option in the store that comes close is Adobe Photoshop Express Image.
