Photoshop Elements 12 / Windows 11 Compatibility

Is Elements version 12 compatible with Windows 11? I recently installed my downloaded version and it caused my entire computer (new) to crash and I had to restore it.

You may need to install the Creative Cloud application before installing Photoshop Elements:

I had to install it to be able to install PSE 2018 on Windows 11.

FYI, I already had CC installed on a new LG Windows 11 laptop, the installed Elements 12. There were two drivers that did not install - looking back that was a red flag, but I figured at worst Elements would not run. But no, in fact my laptop would not even boot. Reinstalling Windows from scratch now.

Try installing Elements in Compatibiliy Mode.  See this post for some instructions.  For Elements 12, you will find the PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe file in the following path:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12.

Exactly the same result appended with my new windows 11 computer.

My new HP computer also crashed.

Same here with my Samsung Book with W11... For me, it look like Adobe don't wanna we still using Photoshop elements 12 for so long. In fact, I repeated the process without success and now, probably, my windows will crash again when I restart my laptop. #plannedobsolescence
