Photoshop CC 2014 won't start but I see Photoshop.exe running in Task Manager!

I just updated Photoshop CC 2014 today - October 6, 2014, and it won't start. I does not give any warnings or errors. Windows 7 Pro. If I check Windows Task Manager, I see Photoshop.exe running, but it never opens on my desktop.

Just so anyone that sees this will know the sequence of events:
I updated Photoshop CC 2014 and many other CC updates today
I restarted my machine (Windows 7 Pro)
Clicked Photoshop Start Icon
Photoshop did not start, but Photoshop.exe appears in Windows Task Manager (WTM) under Processes tab (approx. 8 MB of Memory used)
If I click Photoshop Start Icon multiple times, multiple EXEs appear in WTM
Tried right-clicking Photoshop.exe(s) and Ending Processes, then Running Photoshop again (same result)
Restarted my machine a second time
Now Photoshop CC 2014 runs
I will add an update here if things change.
Thanks for the help everyone!

Firefox won't start, no error message, firefox.exe showing in Task Manager Processes

Firefox (v3.6.6 on Windows Vista) will not open. When the icon is clicked, the hourglass shows for a few seconds, goes away, and nothing else happens. There are no error messages. 'firefox.exe' shows on the Task Managers Processes tab. I also cannot open Firefox in SafeMode or with the ProfileManager.
I have tried restarting the computer, uninstalling and reinstalling firefox, deleting my firefox profile. I have tried all of these things multiple times in different orders with no results.
Please Help!

dmcritchie, thank you for your reply!
Before I received your response, I tried something that seems to have worked. I used Chrome to go to the Firefox website and downloaded Firefox (without uninstalling it first) and went through the installation process again. For some reason, this worked, even though I already had the latest version of Firefox, and I can now open Firefox successfully.
If it stops working again, I will try your suggestion. In the meantime, thank you much!

Firefox won't start after upgrade, it appears on the windows task manager but closing the firefox.exe doesn't help

I upgraded to firefox 4 and it asked me to restart the system, since then it stopped working. it just won't open. I have windows xp and when I click on the firefox icon I see firefox.exe in the windows task manager under 'processes' I tried ending the task but it wont help. i also tried removing and reinstalling.. didn't help either :( I also checked if Kaspersky might be blocking it but it isn't

The only thing that worked for me was installing an older version (3.6) and it started working fine... I dont even want to try upgrading it to 4 again..

Just upgraded to firefox 4 and it won't start but it says it's running.

I just recently upgraded to firefox 4 and it won't work. I was enjoying the lastest update on firefox 3 and it was working fine, but when i upgraded to 4, the problems started. Every time i click on the icon, the mouse turns into the loading wheel for a few seconds and then goes back, but firefox doesn't load up. Nothing happens. I have tried restarting the computer, but that does nothing. I then tried uninstalling it, but it says firefox is still running so it can't uninstall. Even after restarting my computer, it still says it's running. I have tried everything, but it just won't start, and I can't do anything because it claims to still be running.

I just had a similar problem and it reminded me of trying to install a logitech wireless mouse a while back. Nothing I could do to make it recognize the driver... until I ran across a website that told me that antivirus and firewalls might prevent it. So... AVG Free just updated itself earlier today... FF4 would only startup once after reboot, then start and show in task mgr but no window(s)... Uninstalled AVG new version. FF4 starts up every time. Reinstalled older version of AVG Free and now everything seems to be OK again. Hope this helps!

Firefox 4 does not start but I can see Firefox.exe in Windows Task Manager, nothing in Applications

I am on Window 7/32bits machine. When I start Firefox 4 nothing loads. I looked into Windows Task Manager, I can firefox.exe in the processes but nothing in Applications.
Here are few things I have tried but didn't work for me.
- Restarted Computer and tried to open Firefox, waited for half an hour nothing happens.
- did 'End Process' in Windows Task Manager, Processes and tried in again
- reinstalled into different folder and tried to run from there, still the result is same.
Is there anything else I can try to resolve this issue.

See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

Photoshop CC 2014 won't start while any other 2014 apps do

After the 2014 update, I've used PS for a while, first in polish (as CC app updated it changed my language to polish. I'm used to english so I've uninstalled PL versions, and installed the proper EN ones), than in english. Point is it worked. I didn't change anything since then, but suddenly PS just refused to launch. I click the icon, but nothing happens. Restarts won't work. I've updated my Nvidia drivers today, but it didn't help. Every other Adobe app run just fine, including the pre 2014 update PS. I use Windows 8.1

Oh, Thank you very much. I was download ur file and installed it but it doesn't work. After that I restart the computer and open CC again and click update all, it's work ! My app continue to update. Tnk u very much
Hope others see this post.

After reboot firefox won't start. runs in task manager, but won't pop up. reset, safe mode and uninstall/re-install won't help. ok if no reboot.

win7 Pro. has been running firefox ok. but lately with 25 and now 26, the firefox won't start. I can see firefox is running in task manager. but it just won't pop up.
if I download it again and install it, it will run, but every time I reboot the system, it just won't run again.
try: reset, safe mode, uninstall & reinstall, new/clean profile, none of those work.

There may be a corrupted file on Firefox. 
Please attempt to perform a clean reinstall. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/forum-response-clean-reinstall (More Details)] This is different than a regular uninstall.
If a clean reinstall does not fix the issue, please try starting your operating system in safe mode. 
To do so, please do the following:
#Ensure that your computer is shut down completely
#Press the power button
#Tap the <code>F8</code> key repeatedly before the Windows logo and startup screen is displayed
#Select Safe Mode With Networking for the advanced startup options list
Please report back with the results of both solutions.

New Camera RAW in Photoshop CC 2014 won't open multiple Panasonic RAW (.rw2) at the same time from Windows Explorer.

New Camera RAW in Photoshop CC 2014 won't open multiple Panasonic RAW (.rw2) at the same time from Windows Explorer. If I select 2 raw files and click "Open" Camera RAW will only open 1 raw, then when I click "Done" it will close and open the second, sequentially. Previous Photoshop CC and RAW worked fine, it would open mulitple RAW at the same time. How do I fix this?

If it worked for you that way previously there isn't much to comment about. I just tried opening multiple images from Windows Explorer with Photoshop CS6 and Camera Raw 8.6, and the first image would open and when I clicked cancel then the second image would open. But if I wanted multiple images opened in Camera Raw to work on them simultaneously it was necessary for me to open them from Bridge. I just did it as an experiment because I normally use Lightroom. Anyway, IF it was a feature at one time to work as you described, it doesn't seem to be that way now.

Firefox won't start, but possible to troubleshoot as compatibility. how can I fix this without running compatibility?

2014 April 29, Firefox works fine but April 30 it won't start, the possible to work is running compatibility (troubleshoot). Is there any solution for this without running compatibility or without formatting computer? And works during 2014 April 29.
I've already uninstall anti virus
I try also restore and repair windows
I've also uninstall and reinstall firefox.
still doesn't work :(

If you had an update of Firefox, the firewall may be the problem. 
This problem occurs when your Internet security program was set to trust the
previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your updated version as
trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow Firefox to connect to the Internet
again: 
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version) 
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For detailed instructions, see Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet.

Photoshop CC 2014 won't update. error U43M1D204 iMac Yosemite

I have Photoshop CC 2014 and Bridge CC on an iMac (late 2013) running Yosemite 10.10.3
The creative cloud app tells me to update Photoshop and Bridge.
When I click the update button I get an update failed message with "There was a problem updating Photoshop/Bridge." The more information field says "The download appears corrupted. Please try to download again. (U43M1D204)
When I try again exactly the same thing happens.
Can anyone help please?
UPDATE:
After trying the renaming of the 1.0 folders in the /library/application support /adobe/AAMUpdater and ~/library/application support /adobe/ AAMUpdater I was still having the same problem.
Then tried downloading the adobe camera raw 9.0 update directly from Adobe Camera Raw 9.0 Update for CC and ran the dmg setup file. Both photoshop and bridge were updated and when I logged out of CC then logged back in again all of my apps were up to date.
Hope this helps others.

Oh, Thank you very much. I was download ur file and installed it but it doesn't work. After that I restart the computer and open CC again and click update all, it's work ! My app continue to update. Tnk u very much

Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 won't start on my computer

The ScriptingSupport.8li that comes with Photoshop CS5.1 should have the module version 12.1.0.0 as well.
It sounds as if you have done something where you have mixed modules from an older version of Photoshop (CS3) into those that Photoshop CS5 is enumerating during startup.
Did you, by chance, copy the entire contents of a folder (e.g. plug-ins or scripts) and get extra files you didn't intend?
Have you set an Extra plug-ins folder up to point to the plug-ins for an earlier version of Photoshop?
Mixing up versions of Photoshop is a no-no.
You may want to start by clearing your Photoshop preferences... Press and hold Control - Shift - Alt immediate after cold-starting Photoshop. If you're quick enough, and you have to be VERY quick to get the keys down, it will prompt you to confirm deletion of the preferences it already has set up, which will then cause it to use defaults.

I´ve installed Photoshop CC 2014 on one computer but when I should install the program on my other computer it ask for a serial number. Where could I find this?

Hi,
No serial needed for subscriptions.Your applications can't communicate with the activation server.
Check and delete Adobe entries on your hosts file as explained on step 3 :

I recently was having problems with my computer where it would crash and I had to do a system restore. I am now not able to open firefox, I found this page explaining how to fix the problem:http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+will+not+start?s=icon+won%27t+open&as=s The solution says to delete the process of firefox.exe in the task manager, however I can't find this process. Any help?
