PSE 2022 after months of loading correctly, will not load.

What happened? I can't load PSE 2022 anymore from either Organizer or the PSE executable. I've restarted, opened Task Manager to see what is loading, etc. PSE is listed briefly, then dies.

Spent a couple of hours on chat with Adobe on this. The rep renamed the %appdata% folder, updated VB, uninstalled PSE, reinstalled. He basically applied Windows 10 updates. So it's fixed now. Loads fine.

I also loaded Organizer and attempted to load a file in PSE. Same result. The "loading PSE workspace" appeared, then died.

What are your OS and PSE versions?

I had a similar experience twice yesterday with the February update of PSE2022 on Win 10.

After waiting a few minutes and rebooting the computer, all was well again. I tried launching PSE from the editor shortcut and saw no difference. I have never seen PSE disappearing like this without any error message in the past.

Thanks Michael--

Will someone from Adobe chime in on this problem? Maybe? I use my computer for work at home, creating marketing brochures in PSE. So I'm stuck.

Thanks again
