Reinstalled Elements 2022, Won't open Raw Files or Camera Raw.

[Greg23358285vocv]

My Elements 2022 disappeared so I reinstalled it (twice). Now it will not open Raw files. Camera Raw does not open. I can open a jpeg but when I try to save it , it wants to save as MP4, jpeg is not an option. My system is Windows 10. Any suggestions? It had been working fine since Nov 29, 2021.

My Elements 2022 disappeared

Please explain exactly what happened.

Try this:

Restore default preferences
Preference settings control how Photoshop Elements Editor displays images, cursors, and transparencies, saves files, uses plug‑ins and scratch disks, and so on. If the application exhibits unexpected behavior, the preferences file could be damaged. You can restore all preferences to their defaults.

Note: Deleting the preferences file is an action that cannot be undone.

Do one of the following:

Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Mac: Option+Command+Shift) immediately after Photoshop Elements begins launching. Click Yes to delete the Adobe Photoshop Elements settings file.
Go to Edit > Preferences (Mac: Photoshop Elements > Preferences > General), click the Reset Preferences on next launch button, and then click OK. When you restart Adobe Photoshop Elements, all preferences are reset to default settings.
A new preferences file is created the next time you start Photoshop Elements Editor. For information on a specific preference option, search for the preference name in Help.
