Adobe photoshop elements does not work after installing Monterey

Adobe photoshop elements does not launch after installing OS Monterey. I started the computer in safe mode and it worked but after restarting the computer in normal mode the PSE does not launch. Any suggestions? Thanks

I posted this workaround in early November but it keeps disappearing:

It has worked for my iMac (Processor: 3.6 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i3)


  1. Close all apps
  2. Shutdown the computer
  3. Count to 20 (not sure if this is necessary)
  4. Restart
  5. Wait until all screen icons are up
  6. Click the PSE Icon that leads to the Organizer-Photo Editor- Video Editor
  7. Click the photo editor.

I have tried it several times and it works but if you close PSE it will not reopen and you have to do it all over again. Good luck.
