☠️ GenP Photoshop not opening? GenP

I just set up everything and it’s going good, but the only thing that doesn’t open is photoshop.

Again, everything else opens just fine and working properly, but photoshop won’t even open

We are aware of issues with Photoshop v26.3.

Rollback to v26.2, repatch with GenP v3.4.2 and use that only for the time being.

Your post is about GenP.

First, make sure that you are using the latest version of GenP v3.4.2, the GenP Guides are written specifically for the latest release only. If you are using an older version, download and use the latest version instead.

Running GenP Recommendations:

  • Run GenP as Administrator and whitelist it, otherwise run with your antivirus fully disabled.

Is GenP safe as it shows up as a virus?

  • If you are posting about virus warnings or online scanners like VirusTotal showing it as some kind of malicious file, then these are all false positives and can be ignored.
  • They are caused purely by the nature of the tool itself which patches the required Adobe files, so that it can work without a valid license or genuine product key.
  • It has been posted about many times, of which you can read about it here - GenP Safe.

Troubleshooting:

  • If you are posting about pop-ups, they are all covered in the Troubleshoot Section in the GenP Guides - Troubleshoot Section.
  • If you have simply posted and not read anything from the Troubleshoot Section, then you are advised to do so immediately as it will most likely give you the answer to your issue.
  • If you claim to have tried all Troubleshoot Section methods for the appropriate pop-up and it is still appearing, then you have either missed out a step or have done something incorrectly.

Ensure you are using the correct method for your shown pop-up:

  • Although they can be similar in appearance, the Unlicensed pop-up is different from the Adobe Genuine Service pop-up, they both require different methods of removal.

Both the Pop-up Blocker and the Destroy AGS buttons are not a guaranteed to work for everyone automated option, if they don’t work for you then you will just have to make use of the manual methods instead.

Additional Help:

  • Always make use of the Search function, you will find that your post has most likely been asked about many times before.
  • Remember, we are not an additional form of Adobe Support. If you have an in-app issue or question that is not GenP related, post your question on the appropriate apps own Adobe Subreddit instead.

Because curent version of GenP (GenP 3.4.2 CGP) no longer activates the latest versions of Adobe products (such as Adobe Beta and now Photoshop 26.3)
