I backed up adobe elements & Photoshop using windows file history now i cant get it to work

[johnc22144086]

I have a 2017 photoshop elements and premier elements that came with my computer Due to covid-19 my work wanted to set me up to work from home.  I had very little space on my c drive so I backed up my photo shop suite using windows file history and then uninstalled to create space.  now when i restored from backup it dosent have any links and when i try to open the application directly it tells me that it is missing application manager.  Is there a way to fix this  I suspect I may not have backup some of the files.

thank you

You can’t backup and restore apps. There is much more to an app than just files.  You have to reinstall properly.
