Photoshop Elements 2018 will not launch reliably (Win7)

Photoshop Elements 2018 has been running under Windows 7 (x64) for around 12 months (since registration), but will no longer launch reliably, even after rebooting Windows.   The launch target is Adobe Photoshop Elements 2018.0.exe

Has anyone encountered the same problem and resolved it ?   If so, further details would be much appreciated.

    Hello,

    Could you please go to below location

    Loc: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 2018

    And try launching PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe directly, and see if Photoshop Elements Editor launches from there.

    Make sure no instance of Photoshop Elements 2018 or Photoshop Elements Editor is running from task manager and kill it if any.

    Thanks

    Prakash

    Saurabh - No errors are evident.

    Prakash - After initial Win 7 startup this morning ...

    a) Photoshop Elements 2018 launches from desktop icon:

    "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 2018\WelcomeScreen\Adobe Photoshop Elements 2018.0.exe"

    But after closing:

    b) Photoshop Elements 2018 will not re-launch

    c) Folder C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 2018 - Photoshop Elements 2018 will not launch from ...

    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 2018\Adobe Photoshop Elements 2018.lnk

    NB The only executable files in that folder are: PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe & LogTransport2.exe
