Photoshop Elements 2021 can't open Photo Editor

[lizr19363420]

Just installed on my new computer - MacBook Pro. I can open the Organizer but when I try to open Photo editor it says loading, then disappears without opening. How can I fix this?

Just encountering this issue now. Did you ever resolve your issue?

Hello,

Could you please check if the application is running in the activity monitor? If so, please quit it and then try relaunching the application.

If this doesn't help, I'll connect with you to further debug this issue. 

Regards,

Medha

I'm having the same issue. I check the activity monitor and was able to close everything, but the Adobe helper. It still will not work.

Similar issue on windows, after working fine for a few months, it wont launch from start menu.  I repaired it in the app menu but it wont open or save files.

I tried that "resetting preferences" but that doesnt work,

I unistalled and reinstalled, twice, and that did not work.

This is solved for me, maybe it will work for you...

Uninstall the app

Search for files/folders named "elements" and delete them.  

Restart your computer 

Reinstall the app

Good luck
