Photo editor won't open in Photoshop Elements 2019

We fixed this problem by right-clcking on the Photoshopshop Elements 2019 icon before opening the program. Select properties, then compatability. Run compatability troubleshooter. Even though we have Windows 10 it seemed to choose the Windows 8 version. Anyway it works fine now and we don't care why.

Hello,

I am having the exact same problem. I am running windows 10. I purchased and installed 3 days ago and have been able to work with it just fine. There was a Creative Cloud update today for Camera Raw (or something like that), so I installed it. afterwards, I was still able to edit jpg images. I was in the process of creating a GIF and I could not longer "save to web". I would get a "could not find the file location" (or something like that). I restarted PSE, it opened just fine, but then when I tried to open Editor Workspace, It just hangs and then stops. I have reinstalled all my adobe products (Acrobat DC, Flash, Creative Cloud, and PSE), and still get the same thing.

I do not understand every time I try and use my photoshop  2019 that I have instaled here for the last year i have trouble. To 

day I cannot open the editor . Yesterday I could not remove the grid that was so dence I could hardly see the photo .

NOW YOU HAVE DECIDED TO REMOVE EDITOR AND ELEMENTS AND ORGANISER 2019 PAYED FOR MY 

MYSELF PLEASE RELOAD ALL 3 OF THEM .

If you lined up 1,000 random Mac's that met system requirements, installed PSE on all of them using the exact same DVD disk (or downloaded product), a few of them would have problems which is why some of you are here today. Installing it on 1,000 random Win machines in the same manner would also result with a handful of errors.  Why?  Hmm.  Could it be that the installer, or the app is a POC?  Nope, remember we used the exact same installer on every single machine and PSE runs beautifully on nearly 100% of them.  Well what could it possibly be then, Phinny?  Do tell us, hurry!  Please!

I don't have the magic answer but evidence suggests that PSE isn't the engineering blunder a few angry users have suggested.  The difficulties more likely point to system resources (components) on your computer that are either missing, corrupt, or in the wrong location.  Thankfully, PSE runs like a Japanese bullet train on my Win 7 and Win 10 machines at the moment, I repeat,"at the moment" because I know computers, printers, routers, etc aren't immune to sundry craziness from time to time.  

In the mean time I'd minimally suggest running maintenance routines, repairing permissions, resetting PRAM, invoking file checker in your Windows 10 terminal, and any other tricks you may have up your sleeve that might detect and resolve system inconsistencies.  It may (may not) immediately correct your PSE issue but it's important enough to do anyway and just might speed your machine up a little.  I wish I could be more helpful.

My copy worked until I updated it today. I've tried all the usual solutions (re-installing etc) but nothing opens it. The program is useless.

Photoshop Elements 2019 was announced in Oct 2018.  There are posts dating from Oct 2018 reporting that the editor would not open.  Today (Feb 28) I registered a DVD install of Photoshop Elements 2019 and accessed the editor once before the editor stopped opening.  I listened to muzak on the customer care?? line for over an hour before I hung up.  Time for some VERY less than favorable reviews of Adobe on Amazon, B&H Photo, Staples, Best Buy, Newegg, CNET, PCMAG and anywhere else I can think of.

I am also having the same problem and more. I use Windows 10. I edited one image and saved it and since then for 2 weeks Editor would only spin and not open. Suddenly today I can open Editor but no functionality to import an image just the wizard that wants to grab an entire folder into Editor.

This version is the worst experience after 3 previous versions that worked without issues.

Any solution to importing single images from Windows Explorer folders (bypassing Organizer)?

Here also version 19 does not work with the tips above.

Outrageous that there is a program on the market that does not work in one go

Even worse is that I live in the Netherlands and therefore do not even have to rely on Dutch support.

The only thing you receive are links to these kinds of topics with possible solutions.
But to date a lot of money has been spent on a program that just does not work and does not provide good support

I am operating on Mac 10.14.1

Hi stevee5045,

On which platform (Win/Mac) do you have currently ?
