Adobe Photoshop CC 2018 abruptly stops working. Requires upgrade to Windows 10 to run.

[#1]

Adobe Photoshop was working fine until last week.

It seems like the new update won't work on Windows 10.

Every time I try to launch Adobe Photoshop I get the following message:

"Adobe Photoshop requires Windows 10 Anniversary Update (version 1607) or later. Upgrade for free to newer version of Windows 10 to run Photoshop."

Since we are on a corporate/enterprise account (Enterprise version of Office) we cannot update to the Windows 10 Anniversary Update (version 1607) or later.

How can I get Photoshop to work again?

See screen shots for details.

And, in the future, check program requirements before updating

Thank you.

I rolled back to previous version.

And, in the future, check program requirements before updating

Yes to this.

Or, if Adobe is smart enough to check compatibility before install rather than after would be great.

I had this issue too. I'm also working on Windows 10 Enterprise. It would be great if Adobe CC updates would check the system for requirements. It would save a lot of time spent troubleshooting.

For people who need to know how to fix this right now, I'll answer this here.

How to Fix this, and get Photoshop back working:

1. In your CC window interface, on the photohop dropdown, go to "Other Versions" A list of previous Photoshop versions will pop up.

2. Click "Install" from the top version in this list. This should roll you back to the version that you just left when you updated.

super many thanks

Can u get us a screenshot???

This needs to be fixed.  Rolling back lost settings.  Lightroom won't launch PS.  PS prompts to update system every time.  Don't have the new features like the smart select.   Are we stuck on old PS forever or just upgrade every once in a while and hope and rollback?

Likewise, I am too on an Enterprise version of Windows 10 and stuck with the Out of Date versions.
Thanks Adobe...

Perhaps you should create a version that maybe disables the useless features that come from the Creators update in Windoze.
