Lightroom v11 and PS 2022 issue
Since the October upgrade I am having a problem sending images from LR to PS for editing. I get a message saying "Image cannot be sent to PS because PS cannot be launched" or somesuch. This even if PS is already open. It will do it..........eventually......several minutes later. It's driving me mad. Any ideas anyone?
Yes, everything is up to date. Had a look at preferences and all seems to be in order (not that I really know what I'm looking for).
I have found that I have to open all the programs with 'Administrative rights'. To do this Right click on icon/listing, and the menu that then opens will have three choices, 'more' - the middle choice , when clicked will have 'run as Administrator' which always works. There is a way of setting up all of the Adobe programmes to always run as Administrator but I have not been able to do this, updates I believe by Windows removes some settings.
Yip, I'm having the exact same problem.
I've tried uninstalling/installing.
Opening PS before LR
Running as Administrator.
Nothing works!!
So annoying.
I edit in LR then save the image then open in PS
Shouldn't have to do this so something has happened in this upgrade that wasn't a problem before.
However, all is well on my laptop so I am assuming it is a desktop problem which is a few years old now.
I'm running WIN10, 16Gb RAM, i7 - Not sure if perhaps the graphics card is too old ???

I think if you open Photoshop first, then Lightroom and Bridge and always click on the icon so that you can open as Administrator it will work fine. PS has to be opened first and operated as Administrator. The other programmes must also be opened as Administrator. Always and every time I open this is the only way that Lightroon will then open an image in PS. There is a way to make PS open as Administrator as a part of its set-up, but I have never succeeded in doing this. I don't think Windows is influencing this process nor the RAM or the core processor.
Whilst this won't help anyone, I thought I should share my findings.
I've just checked on my Laptop which has the Adobe Photographers Package installed but it has never been used on the Laptop. I imported some raw files straight to Lightroom (Release 11.0.1 with camera raw version 14) from a card reader.
I then used the "Ctrl E" shortcut to send some of the images to Photoshop (23.0.2 release). I didn't have any issues with the transfer of the images to Photoshop. The laptop is running Windows 10.
My main PC also works as expected the "Ctrl E" shortcut works there too, it is also running Win10 with the same PS/LR versions.
However this morning when importing images into Lightroom it kept giving me a message that my usual drive that I download images to wasn't available and that the images would be downloaded to the Pictures folder on my C drive, why I don't know as the drive was available and working.

When you say "click on the icon", where, which icon are you referring to? Having opened photoshop, I can't see/find any icon that does what you describe. Similar question for LR. Thank you.
I have now been through all the "solutions" in ST's link to no avail.

The Icons for Lightroom and Photoshop should be on your desktop see image below. You need to right click on them to see the menu associated with them. The Run as Administrator is in that menu.
Ah thank you. Will give it a bash 
The icons will be where you put them and you must click on the icon before you open. This opens the programmes as 'the administrator' which is, for me, the only way that I can use the 'Edit in Photoshop' from Lightroom. When I download the updates to these programmes the Lightroom icon does always appear on my desktop but Photoshop I open (using the right click and 'Open as') from my listed programmes. I suspect that Photoshop appears in my listed programmes and not also on my desktop because it has always been there long before I had Lightroom or used Bridge. And because I have my Desktop arranged so that I know wherevery thing is I do not wish it to change.
But wherever the icon or the listing is placed that is not relevant. What is relevant is, that right clicking, either on the listing or on the icon, will enable all of them to open as Administrator if you choose it from the drop down menu.

I wouldn't give up. I have a tecky friend who is sure it is an Adobe bug and will be sorted out one day. Fingers firmly crossed.
