Photoshop CC 2018 crashes on launch

Yup same problem and I am a teacher that is trying to teach a class.  I send in the error with my email and no one ever replies. I am lucky the state pays for my version. I wouldn't ever pay for it.

I suggest you upgrade your computer RAM, its happening because your program may be running out of memory.

I noticed that the problem started after I reinstalled my wacom tablet driver. After trying to find ways to fix it I thought of trying to uninstall the wacom driver and the problem went away after that. Reinstalled an older driver version after that.

I had Startech VGA monitor splitter plugged in and Photoshop crashed every time on startup. Before I started using the splitter, Photoshop was fine. I tried unplugging it and using only one monitor---Photoshop worked fine. I switched to a DisplayPort option for the other monitor.

Windows 10

64-bit OS, x64-based processor

12.0 GB Installed RAM

My fix was

Sophos AV stopping it to run,

Hence on the Sophos Enterprise console under- Anti Virus & HIPS policy->On-access scan setting->windows exclusions->

excluded item:

the folder path and the file name.

also on the On demand scanning.

once apply the exclusion list on File name & folder seem working on the network PC

Oddly, my solution was far more simple - I had installed Duet Display Duet Display - Ex-Apple Engineers Turn Your iPad Into An Extra Display in order to use my iPad Pro as digitizer and drawing tablet. As soon as it was uninstalled - Illustrator and Photoshop worked again fine as nothing had been wrong at all.

XPS 15, Win10, i7, GTX1050, 32GB RAM

You should check whether your system requirements are correct. And if it is not then upgrade it on time in order to work smoothly.

Sorry for bad English.

I fixed this problem on notebook with integratid intel and nvidea videocard.

For this I switched in the control panel nvidea preferred graphics processor -> high performance processor.

May be and you helped.

In general there are three thing that affects the loading of a software. They are available hard drive space, bus speed (that's related to the mother board)  and memory size. If the forgoing are not sufficient, there will not be enough virtual memory for speedy loading, or to load at all. That will adversely affect the loading of large software such as Photoshop CC. In addition, based on my observation, efficient internet service is also a requirement. Please check the requirement of Photoshop CC, and your resource to see if you have sufficient. For laptops, once there's sufficient hard drive space, and memory, I usually assume the bus speed is also sufficient. See Photoshop system requirements  for the minimum resource required. Also keep in mind that each editing process uses additional space for the file you work on and for updating your preference file, and that the files are large. I hope this helps.

I had this issue today after installing on a new laptop I bought.

Went to "edit", "preferences", "performance", and then "disable use of graphics processor".

Not exactly sure what that's going to end up effecting long term, but it worked.

Photoshop working fine for me now.

Pretty sure I will be able to see the long term effects later on....and that sounded redundant and obvious.

edit:  Went back in after it had opened, reactivated or enabled the use of my graphics processor and it's still working.

Weird stuff.
