Having trouble Importing PNG from Illustrator to PS

I am currently having trouble exporting a .PNG file from Illustrator with a transparent background. I am trying to export the file for my client to use as a watermark on his photos but when I export from AI to PS as a .PNG the PNG appears with a solid background. Once the png is in PS, it prompts me to turn it into a normal layer which causes the image to disappear into a transparent layer. It seems that only the SVG export is working. Help Please.

Does it work to save the .png to your computer and then open it in Photoshop?

I can't replicate this problem. 

You could try resetting the preferences file and export again. In Preferences > General, there is a button to reset preferences on quit.

If that doesn't work you may need to reinstall Photoshop using the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool.
