Photoshop Elements Editor not opening

I recently downloaded Elements 21 and it was working fine, but now when I click to open the Elements Editor, it will not load. I tried reinstalling the software and that doesn't work. I'm on a Mac which is up to date. Any suggestions?

Thank you Bob, good suggestion.

I clicked on System Preferences, then Security and Privacy, then Click on Lock to make changes, then Full Disk Access. Then I checked the boxes for Adobe Elements 2021 and Adobe Elements 2021 Organizer. Finally, I clicked on the lock again to prevent further changes.

I've resolved the problem. It was a permissions issue.

For the benefit of others, can you explain how you resolved the permissions issue?

Photoshop Elements Editor not opening

On home screen Organizer and Video Editor seem to work but Photo Editor still does the same revolving object. Should I turn to Apple for help. Was told that Apple and Adobe were working on the problem.

I sent the original question and tried everything with no success.  Just gave up and went to Affinity. Now all of a sudden (don't know from Mac updates or Adobe updates, PSE works perfectly.

I also have this issue with PSE 2020 on a MacBook running OSX 12.0 which was previously working ok. Setting Full Disk Access in Security and Privacy has not resolved the issue. 

When I start the app, the PSE 2020 process appears in the Mac Activity Monitor, but it then just closes before any window appears.

I hope someone can suggest a fix.

Thank you

I ended up calling support.  They had to do a remote fix.  I'm fairly techy, but this was more complicated than expected so I'd recommend you do the same.  Didn't take long and I wasn't on hold long at all from what i recall.

I'm on a PC and, like many others, suddenly photoshop elements stopped (photo editor) - although Premiere Video Editor worked fine, although it took a long time to open. It's unfortunate that these programs feel deliberately crippled and terrible UI as an incentive to upgrade to a monthly subscription.

 

I have plenty of ram 64GB, disk space, processing power, etc. Photoshop Elements 2020 just stopped working and must use this organizer. Frustrating.
